I really love my partner and have been dating him for almost two years (definitely out the honeymoon phase). However, lately he’s been getting on my nerves over very simple things (whether he can control them or not), and I have just recently started to get small crushes on other guys, including one of this friends.
I do really love him so much and never could even think about cheating on him. Am I falling out of love, or am I just going through a rough phase that’s part of a relationship?
I’d never been in a relationship before, so this is my first one, and I’m not sure what to do. My boyfriend and I have been dating for a little over three months now, and I didn’t really like him, to be honest, when he asked me out. But I was like, “eh, I’ll go for it.”
I don’t know what’s been up, because I used to find a lot of the things he did cute or funny, and now I find myself getting irritated really fast. I feel really bad about it, but I don’t know. He likes to hug and kiss and hang out a lot more than I do. And sometimes, he hugs me, and I’ll go to leave the hug and he won’t let me. Or when I’m walking somewhere, he’ll grab/hug me and won’t let me go where I need to until I hug him back or something.
I’m 18, and my boyfriend is almost 23. We’ve been together over a year, and I have problems with wild emotions and mediocre depression, serious anxiety, and general bad emotional management.
Six months ago, I cut myself. By cut, I mean one small scratch across my wrist that scabbed and scarred — really nothing serious.
However, the principle of self-harm really upset my boyfriend, and he made me promise not to do it again. Of course, I said I wouldn’t, because I really believed I didn’t need to, and it hadn’t made me feel better, so why would I?
But here we are — we had another outrageously painful fight, and I did the same thing again. Except now, I can’t brush it off with “it was a one time thing,” because it clearly wasn’t.
I’ve been in a relationship with my boyfriend for five years, and we have a three-year-old daughter. We have a lot of issues, though. Should I stay? How do I leave?
My boyfriend doesn’t support my dreams. He tells me I can’t do what I love and that I am too much of a dreamer. I want to be a teacher and travel someday. On top of this, he doesn’t have much ambition to do anything great in his lifetime.
He is verbally abusive often and sometimes mildly physically abusive (throwing food/small things at me, breaking my things, etc.). He says things to me on a regular basis that most people don’t hear their whole lives. Horrible things that cut me deep. He blows things way out of proportion whether its me or some other factor that upsets him.
I’m always getting picked on for being single and want to know if there is a way to tell when a man is coming my way?
