My boyfriend and I have been having problems. We've only been together about 3 months now. I'm wondering if I should get out before they get worse, but at the same time since it's still a new relationship I keep thinking maybe we can work them out, and breaking up with him now would be too hasty. I'm torn.

He's insecure and manipulative. He has unreasonable expectations of you. And as the cherry on top of the ice cream sandwich of suck, it sounds like he has codependency issues as well.
Maybe when he grows up and addresses those issues, he will make a decent partner for someone. maybe. I'm skeptical, but hey, anything's possible, right? But the fact is, he is NOT a good partner now, and you do yourself no favors by staying with him.
I would advise you to leave. If and when you find a healthy relationship, you'll probably ask yourself why you even hesitated to end this one.

seriously op, are you dating my ex? i hope not because those little manipulative things will one day turn into some huge blowout in which your sanity will be shaken.
i experienced it first hand. it was the little things at first - spending lots and lots of time together (i dropped a lot of classes that semester because of it), listening to his "advice" on what i should do with *my body*, getting upset because some guy was staring at me, telling me that i tipped too much. it devolved into a weird kind of abyss in which i wasn't really sure of who i was anymore. he accused me of having a topless picture on an adult dating site. the picture in question was a thumbnail with the head cut off and he swore it was me because he knew *my body* and that the blurry background was my office. he accused me of that, while not explaining once why he was on the adult website in the first place.
that, my friend, was what i had to deal with for five long months. i hope you will not encounter the same.

Kick him to the curb ASAP! To have these types of issues 3 months into a relationship is insane. Find someone nicer, less manipulative and not abusive.
IMO-you should not even tell him you want to be "friends".
