Me and my boyfriend have been together for about 2 years and we live together. We fight a lot at least once a week if not more. Last summer we had a lot of trouble and almost broke up but, we worked it out. Then in December i moved out because i was tired of everything. We still stayed together but that wasn't any easier, we still fought just as much if not worse because we werent living together. Then in May he kept asking me to come back and i really didn't want to.. i kind of liked to be on my own. But i came back.. A few weeks ago he hurt his back working and i out on disability.. and its been rough. I have picked up some over time at work to compensate for the money he is not bringing it and ive felt unappreciated and very unhappy. I feel like he is just not doing anything.even the things he can do.He also has me out and about going here and doing things right when i get home when i really just want to relax. It makes me feel like he doesn't care. So i told him i wanted to move out.. He took it very hard and since then he has been doing everything he can to make me happy..My b-day was on thursday and he went all out. But he had never done anything like that before so it was weird to me. When i told him i felt like he was just kissing up, he said that he realized that he had not been treating me the way he should have been..like he had a wake up call or something.. but i dont know if i can believe that he is really going to change. Should i give it another chance and believe the things he is doing? Or should i continue to get my own place and try to still be together without living together?
He has said this a few times before thats why i font know if i can believe him. Please help..
Advice on my relationship?
I do have to wonder how much of a role the disability is playing in your renewed urge to leave. I'm not denying that it's been rough on you, but he's the one who's injured: he may be depressed and not thinking all that clearly about what he can do as opposed to what he can't. If the problem persists, that's one thing, but I think you need to honestly ask yourself how much of your irritation with him at the moment is at what he could be doing in spite of the setback and how much is misdirected anger at the situation in general.
That said, I do think you probably should go through with your plans to move out, but emphasize to him that you don't want it to be the end of the relationship. You just need more space so you can think through things and feel less like his caretaker than his partner. Couples counseling might be a good idea, too; there are low-cost resources out there if you look for them. Good luck.Advice on my relationship?
if he havent changed by now he wont
Well you said he's said that before, and he is not
willing to change.
Get your own space, and your own life.
I think you should give him a chance maybe he did realize that he didn't appreciate you before and now you are showing him how much you really care about him because you are there when he is most needing you. Sometimes it takes awhile for someone to realize that and maybe this was his wake up call. Just be there for him and let him treat you nice don't be negative about it people do change, life is about risks. Good luck.
It must be hard living that way.Sometimes relationships have their ups and downs.If you love him,let him go.And if he keeps coming back to you and you see that he has changed alot for the things he does to you unfairly,then it's real love.Love him the way you do,look him in the eyes,and tell him how you feel...If he doesn't want to listen to you,tell him sorry but you want to find a better way for yourself.Life is wayyy too short to waste it on a person who doesn't let you live...Hope that helps.
Get your own place, but be with him, and if it don't work out, you have your own place.
Well I have been where you are. I can tell you this...give him time. I have been with my man for 9 years and honey the two of us have been through it and through it. And through it again. We have both done things that most people would be like ';Oh, man I can't believe you are staying together after that'; But you know what? We love each other and let me also tell you this,everyone in a relationship fights and argues. We get into alot. But we always make up.He's hurt and can't work, my man has been out of work too and I had to pick up the slack, and it's hard, but you have to understand, men are like little kids. They need to be taken care of just like kids do. I know sometimes you feel like ';Dang, can't you do anything for yourself?!';Just think avout it like this, what if it was you that was hurt? Wouldn't he take care of you like you are doing for him? I'm sure he would .Everybody likes their freedom, but if you are going to move out, there is no way the two of you can still be together after living together and then you move. It will never work. If you want to live on your own maybe it should be just that, on your own with no man. Sit down and really think ';do I really want to leave,do I not love him enough to stay?'; Whatever you tell yourself, I wish you good luck, but I say give it another try. If you really love him it will all work itself out. GOOD LUCK!
