boyfriend problem

basically i have been with my boyfriend for five years now and yes i do really love him. The problem is that in these five years we have had good and bad times but bad times dominate the good ones.

Dumping him is not an option because i really do love him eventhough we both are complete opposites.

Like any other couple, we have our little fights now and again but then make up afterwords.

Apparently, i used to be very cheeky and just said anything in my heart straight to anyones face without realising.
I have worked alot on that aswell and he knows i am working on it aswell.

Well now i have really improved the way i am as compared to before but recently he has been having some problems at work.
if i ask him what the problem is i only get these types of replies.

"something"
"someone"
"somestuff"

These sort of replies can get really irritating after a while and i cant keep patient about it.
In addition, he has been cheeking me out so much... ( I am a verryyy sensitibve person when it comes to him so anything bad he says....hits mee soo baddd!!!!)
I am really confussed...if i say something back then it will cause an argument and this means i am making situations worst for him.
But i really can not handle cheek and him being mean to me for something i havent done.

i really dont know what to do.
i fear that i will just burst any time and the situation can get really ugly between us.

if he doesnt want to talk about it, then leave the matter alone. when he wants to then he'll come to you, make sure that he knows that you are there for him:smile:

I agree with the above and definatly make it clear that you are there for him dont just assume he knows actually say something like " i know you have a problem with something and to make sure you know i am here if you want to talk about it" maybe? I dont know.. my ex was abit like that but he would eventually tell after a couple days.

what do you mean out of control? has he hit you??

leave the situation alone, and if he's generally geing horrible to you and ignoring you, then ignore him back. if he wants to meet say you can't you're going out with friends and stuff, make him want to be with you. you've been together for a long time- maybe its just getting a bit dull, ignoring him maymake him curious as it were :smile:

no no... he would never hit me.
i meant verbally.

the problem is... he hasnt even expressed any signs of wanting to meet me aswell lately.
its just me who phones him or texts him.
i am the one who says hello to him first on msn.

shall i just ignore him completly then?
i done all that last week but that was mainly beccause i became very ill due to all this stress.
it really hurt afterwods that he couldnt even text me once and ask me how i was or wheree i have been. :mad:

i went online after one week and he was being very sweet and then again since yesterday its gone back to the same.

everyone goes through hard times, and what they need most is the one they love to be there for them-thats your job, and by being there for him doesnt necessairily mean talkin to him about it, you can be there for someone by simply helping take their mind of it, try to do fun things with him that wil help him to relax. and i kno you say you are a sensitive person, but sometimes you just have to grit your teeth and ignore it, he wont mean to hurt you or be rude to you at all-remember that :smile:

i would, sort of play hard to get- if you do all the running then he becomes complacent where you sare concerned which is unfair and nit deseerved. just leave him to stew make him realize why he needs you- and sorry but if it means you 2 breaking up, then it may be for the best, if you're getting ill over this! your health is more important than his silly whims!

Yeah every couple goes through a bad patch, just hope hes not getting bored of you, just tell him how much he means to you and if hes like yeah whatever, maybe play the part of hard to get.

thats what i was thinking.
i cant keep running after him or take his rudeness all the time. i think he will just take that for granted in the long run.

no. i can not dump him atall. i know this because i have tried 3 times before and it has not worked. i just accept him back and i feel like a hypocrit afterwords because i always say "this time i will not accept him back" and eventually after some time i do.

its just how it is...

i mean dont get me wrong we do have our really good times aswell.
dumping him now would mean that i am not being there for him in his hardest times. :confused:

plus he will think that i was just with him for his money... (he is on the point of loing his job)

but you know when your dumped, all sorts of mad thoughts come to your mind.... i mean, him nearly losing his job and then me saying goodbye to him might just look like a connection...

lol

he is being really mean to me.
normally, i am a cling person and tell him all the time how much i love him and care for him.

he is clingy but not as much as i am.

but nowadays if i say something nice to him like
" comeon smile please.. for mee"

hes like

"no one can make me smile...not even you"

I find stuff like that really harsh to cope with. :confused:

Reply 13

he must be having a hard time at work, maybe even starting to suffer from depression, maybe just try and be there for him as much as possible.

All i can really say regarding the relationship is just to try see if theres been any change with him around anyone else, ask his mates or something.

P.S:

Not to sound like a ****, but people in glass-houses shouldn't throw stones.
