Me and my boyfriend have been going out for almost
8 months now and for about the first 5 months we were always happy and he cared about me so much he would come up to me from behind and hug me or just put his arm around me or kiss me or anything all the time and he would do sweet things like sit down outside with me to see the stars and he would tell me how much he cared about me. I’ve told him many times that the way he acts affects me completely so I would do things like that back to him, we would give each other little letter and leave cute messages on the phone and was the best boyfriend ever and made me feel so good about myself. Since about 2 months ago all of that changed. I started crying myself to sleep every night thinking about the boyfriend he used to be. Now, he is constantly mad at me for something, we start fights all the time and he always blames them on me when Im the one that tries to stop it all and he thinks Im like bipolar for being in a random good mood after we were just in a fight when all Im doing is trying to brush away those little arguments that we have about nothing. For a while I thought all the fighting was my fault, but after thinking about it for the longest time, I realized that he was just acting very immature about everything and he doesn’t realize the way I feel and I don’t think he ever will because he never listens to me. Every time I try to tell him how I feel, he just talks over me or just doesn’t listen and then asks me what I said knowing that I would be frustrated and not want to say it again. He always says “whatever” to everything I have to say even though I listen to everything he has to say. He tells me to shutup now almost all the time, he kids around and makes fun of me way to much, whenever we are play fighting and he hits me by accident too hard, I say “hold on” or “that hurt” , then he’ll make my feel guilty and says “then I won’t play fight with you anymore because Im such a horrible boyfriend and I constantly hurt you” and I always have to go up to him and say things so he knows hes not a bad boyfriend for doing that, every time any argument happens he says “well Im just gonna go” and he turns his back on me and walks away and then I stare to see if hes actually going to leave, then he turns around and says “so I guess you want me to leave then” or something like that and it causes another fight. Every time we’re on the phone something ends up happening and he says “well then Ill just go” and then if I say bye he gets mad that I don’t want to talk to him but If I say wait dont go he says nope and he just counts down and says hes gonna go so I don’t know what I am supposed to do. And now also whenever I tell him i love him, he says yea right and I get pissed off that he doesnt believe me because I love him more than anyone in this world, and then he gets mad that I took it seriously because supposively he was just kidding, many other things have happened but I’m too mad to think of them all, do you see why I miss his old self so much. I can’t break up with him because I love him too much but everyone is telling me to take a break I just can’t I just want him to see how I feel and go back to his old self so everything can be good again and I can be happy again because now it causes me to be depressed all the time. What do I do??
I understand that you love this guy, and that it’s hard to leave. But how hurtful it may seem, I think it will hurt you more if you stay. If this story was told by a friend of yours, what would you say?
this stuff is happening to me and my gf. we used to get along but now we just argue, im to the point were it seems like im holding on to a blank cheak, it kinda seems pointless, if i stop arguing she start another, if she stops argueing i start one, i just want it to stop, this has been going on for about 3 months now. we only see each other 2 days a week and we get along for those two days but when we not togethee we fight on the phone. it pointless, i pretty much kno this relationship wont work, wish it would but im done trying. how old r u, im 19 most people stay in relationships for a long time trying to work it out, but usally it wont. if u wana chat cuz i fell we goin through the same thing
It seems to me he doesn’t appreciate you, he takes away your voice, you should just leave, the relationship was great while it lasted, but now that it is over just accept it. Its tough, just end it and move on, it will make you feel better.
yea you wont, u will find someone better, some one who wont fight wit u all the time. someone who makes u feel loved all the time. how long has he been acten like this, break it off and see if he will stop being that way?
thats wht everyone keeps telling me, we’ve been like this for like 2 months now and I dont know I know your saying I should just break it off but should I first like try to be like him and just now do as much and maybe he’ll realize what he’s doing to me or will that cause more problems?
prolly cause more problems. yea it will, just tell him ur emotionaly drained cuz all the arguening and ask him what happend and remind him of the way he used to be. then dont talk to him for a couple of days. if he comes back that a start, but if u guys still argue then end it, it not good to be in a relationship like that. maybe i will do the same. my girl hasent talked to me since yesterday afternoon, she mad at me again, but she said she hates me. i acted like it dident bother me, was that a good thing to do ?
personally coming from a girl, that might not have been the best thing to do only because she probably wanted you to talk to her about whatever happened and now she probably thinks you dont care about her anymore but if she keeps doing this then it might have been a good thing because now she can see how aggravated your getting about it and that you fight too much so its just getting old.
and I will try that, I sent him a message online and he hasnt messages me back yet because he hasnt come on yet I told him basically how he feels I bet he is just going to say w/e to it and if he does then should I break it off??
yea i would, a lot of couples break up just to get back together again, it weird, but if he doesent want to talk about it in a mature way then he not ready for a real relationship
so I told him how i felt and he just replied with “…” and then he had a picture of me and him on his myspace and now its just him but all the stuff about us is still there idk what I should do if I should call him or wait for him to call me I need to know if we’re like over or w/e
I.m going through the same problem I’m getting to the point of this is enough I cant continue to live with a guy like this but I want to give him a chance.In the past I never let a man treat me the way he has but I think it’s the 1st impression of the 1st five months that holds me back. Im now to the point of keeping that memory just that a good memory and nothing more now each person deserves better
im going through a similar situation. my husband and i fight all the time he is spending more time wihout me, and when we are together we pretty much ignore each other. i tell him i love him whenever we hang up the phone and every night before we go to bed and he does not answer me. i finally asked him if he still loves me and he says that he cares about me but love… he wasnt so sure anymore, i felt like i was punched in the stomach. he blames me for all of the problems in the relationship but i feel as though im the only one trying, most of the fights are his fault. he has a very big temper. i dont know what to do im so lost and feel like i have no one who understands how i truly feel. no one can offer any advice besides i deaserve better and i should just leave him but i nit ready to leave him there must be a way to fix this…

I totally understand what your going through.Im going through that right now too. and worst of all when I get really fed up..Ill just say “its over! but like i totally dont mean it.its just because I’m so mad..and sometimes the worst part is that when we argue like he thinks I ALWAYS wanna be right and have the last word..which isnt true. I dont care about being right, i just want to get over the fighting and fussing..he has a bad temper too and doesnt see it. but I also love him with all my heart…and I know he does too. but when it comes to arguments it just gets soooo overwhelming. it sucks
I completely understand where you are coming from I am going through the same thing with my fiancee’ we have been together for 2 years now and we have been working on our relationship for about a year and a half… I am 19 years old and he is 22…I dont know if it is the age difference or not but we shouldnt be acting like this with other… its a little harder for me now because we have a 17 month old baby together but I am also to the point where I cant take it anymore… I am tired of getting the blame for everything and he doesnt realize what he does wrong… It’s very frustrating and people always tell me that relationships require hard work..I had an abusive relationship before I got with my fiancee’ and I dont know if thats why I act the way that I do but I dont appreciate for him to tell me to shut up and call me a ***** it really makes me mad and then I start an arguement with him because I dont tell him things like that and I feel that he shouldnt tell me things like that… I dont know what to do either but I do really love him and want to be with him and most of all I dont want to hurt my daughter but I also cant just be in a relationship with him just for her because it would/will never work…
It’s not that you guys should break up sometimes guys need their space, and you have to give it to them, don’t take it as a break up thing but he just needs some time to himself. The more you try to center your life around someone the least attractive you become to them so show him that you are independent and stay positive no matter what the situation or argument leads to. Always let him know you love him and if he needs anything your there for him. It’s normal to go through arguments and hard times in relationships. ITS TOTALLY NORMAL! It happens all the time, that’s just a part in the relationship everyone experiences. Me and my boyfriend have been together for 3 years and no everyday wasn’t all lovey dovey things happen but you gotta stay strong and hold on if you really believe in you guys love!
Leave him;I should have, but married him,even though in my heart I knew it was over;I was going thru some emotional stuff,but I still knew.He never was a true love of mine,that was the first sign;he had helped me thru some medical issues and was there when I needed someone,but he had also harassed me at work,left notes on my car;now my credit is worthless,my car was repossed because of him(we were married during this time)and I had to sell all the furniture that I had to get the junk he wanted to with his money, that he still owes on.He makes almost $40,0000 a year,we have a dilipated van,economy is bad and extremely hard to get a job and with my health always having something going on, I just stay for the insurance.I so want to leave,though I don’t have anywhere to go.I cannot do the grocery shopping,have to beg for underwear,my clothes are mostly old,beg for shirts,etc.When we go to the grocery store is mainly always want he wants.No spices,no greens,no vegetables,just Pepsi&Pizza&TONS OF SNACKS!Then he tells me he is buying water for me,i drink so much WATER,(how dare I)-complains about washing,cooking;every once in awhile in a blue moon, we play a board game,watch a show together.Thats r relationship.I want to be happy again…..
