You are so right.

Life is what you make of it. I am 26 and have two kids. they are 10 adn 4. we have struggled for so long. Then I met my BF who has changed my life. I am able to go to college and make a better life for me and my girls. I am so happy. But at the same time he frustrates the **** out of me. If he does something I don’t like it is ok, but if I do something he doesn’t like I am so wrong he gives me the silent treatment and won’t pay me any mind. I want to tell him but know how to go about it. What should I do.

i have personally thought about this for a long time… and i would sit there and try talking to the now ex… trying to explain how i felt and how it was wrong when we both did something.. but i was the only one catching the crap treatment from it… after him not listening.. i then began to give him the same treatment back.. i did everything he did… and it finally got his attention.. to where he started asking questions.. and wanting answers to why…

What does he say when you talk about this with him? His behaviour could have many reasons: he may be a bit self-involved and not notice the difference in behaviour, he might be a bit childish and unable to set himself over things easily (is he a good loser at games?), he may be over-confident in his own decisions and see them as right all the time, he may simply be used all his life to get what he wanted. All these things can be worked on and improved if he’s willing. But if this difference stems from a lack of trust in your judgements, or an unwillingness to look after your happiness, or if he’s unwilling to work on it, you might have a dealbreaker there. No relationship is perfect, no man or woman is perfect, and you can work out a lot together, but never allow yourself to be in a relationship with someone who doesn’t respect you or you will end up not respecting yourself.

Try to talk with him. Not everything can be perfect. You are happy right?
