<human>: Me and my boyfriend have been together for 8 months. Things have mostly been great but we've hit a rough patch recently. We're both stressed because of other things going on in our life. 

For the past few months I've been trying to bring up a touchy subject with him because it's something that makes me VERY uncomfortable. I thought I would eventually get over it, but we're 8 months in and it still affects me, so it's clear that won't happen, but whenever I bring it up, he calls me crazy, controlling, or ignores me. I do suffer with paranoia ad various other mental health problems but I don't think I'm being totally unreasonable with this. 

Basically, last year (and over the years I guess) my boyfriend talked to a lot of foreign girls which he met online on facebook. He flirted with these girls a heck of a lot. 

I can't be upset with him about things he did when he was single, I know that's none of my business. The thing that bothers me is that he is still in contact with them and it makes me uncomfortable. Sometimes they message him saying things like 'I miss you' 'I wish we spoke more like we used to'. I hate it. 

I ask him why he has to keep in contact with these girls who he used to flirt with every day when he has a real life girlfriend now. Sometimes I feel like he has/had more of a relationship with these girls than me, e.g. he used to post about them a lot on facebook, made a 'joint e-mail' account with one of them (which he still uses), and it seems that he has a lot of inside jokes with them.

I wouldn't be jealous if they were just friends, but they aren't, and it's not like these girls still don't flirt with him. When I asked him the other day if we could establish some boundaries regarding these people, he said I was controlling him.

Give me a shortened version of the text
<bot>: my boyfriend says I'm being controlling by asking him if we can establish some boundaries in regards to him flirting with girls online.
