in so many wayss…. he still wants to be the young party guy even though he is an alcoholic and he gets mad at me for trying to help him not drink…we also live together in a few states away from my home town and a couple months ago we had a friends of his stay with us untill he could get an apt but it turned sour and the guy used us and didnt pay a cent…well a couple months later my bf invites another friend to do the same thing without asking me and i dont want a stranger in my house but he wont listen to me and keeps making escuses for him….also he just can be mean and have a attitutde toward me and just treat me not like i believe a woman should be treated…overall this stuff and soo much more stresses me out

Leave him now. You need to look after yourself first… get back to basics and pamper yourself and do what you want to do for a while… is it possible for you to move out or even go back to your home town?

Ah ok… well I would say the most important thing is to take care of yourself and continue to go to school… try and do the best you can at your subjects… distance yourself from him and try not to let the problems going on around you affect you… it’s hard but try. Just keep your chin up… and when the time comes for you to figure a way out of it take it… if you keep going to school… and then you get a job… maybe you can make it on your own?

Have you sat down and spoken to him about this?? Do you live together, if you do maybe you should live apart for a while and not spend all your time together, go on dates and days out together so you can get used to having fun together again. speak to a life coach, if you can, maybe go together.
If he loves you then he will do everything he can to support you and you will get through this together, otherwise staying with him will only make your fellings and situation worse, untill you can see no way out.
So sit and talk to him otherwise move on for yourself, do not rush into another relationship, have fun with friends and family, and see what happens from there. If you two are meant to be then you will get back together.
Hope this helps

I would suggest if your bf is so hard to deal with, but you want to keep him. Then the only solution would be to ignore him. Men do not like being ignored. Once he starts chasing then you set the ground rules. Beleive me this should work.

I’m in about the same boat as you are. I just recently moved 4 states away from my hometown with my boyfriend about 2 months ago. I’m also trying to attend college like you are. I’ve only been here for such a short time and got a forecast of what my life will be like if I continue on with this guy/child in this state. Luckily, I haven’t taken any loans out or anything, but I do understand the stress school tuition/loans can bring upon a person. I have no one here, but him. He, like your boyfriend, is also into partying. He is selfish, never thinks of me or my feelings. I gave up my whole life for him and he just doesn’t care. He also messes with my head, I actually know how you feel to a certain degree. Your guy sounds like he’s stuck in high school still and a mature woman like yourself deserves better. From my understanding it is hard for you to move or find a place to live. Check out craigslist.com and go to rooms/shared in your area. I’m sure there’s someone near you that is willing to rent you a room for a low rate. (a lot of them don’t have contracts, you could probably do a month to month) and your answer (b)be without the one i love and be mentally well is the better choice. It’s a tough decision to make, but you have to start doing things for yourself, even if it means making sacrifices you don’t want to. Good luck to you! and BE SELFISH in this situation :)
