He can't tolerate me when I get in a (rare) bad mood. Any advice?

Question - (1 October 2007) 2 Answers - (Newest, 2 October 2007)
A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I have been with my boyfriend for a few years and been there for him for his emotional and physical needs. In the past financial also. Whenever he is down, depressed, worried or lonely he can always depend on me. Never felt burdened by it. Its to be expected in a relationship esp when you love and care for someone.

But it seems whenever I'm in a bad mood, which is maybe once/twice a month if any. He cannot tolerate it. This morning we had a bad start. I was tense and worried, and did not sleep well. He was upset because i kept waking him up with my tossing and turning. He also told me he does not like to start Mondays this way and this better not keep happening??? and then becomes cold and aloof.

Whenever I need a little extra support. I end up feeling guilty afterwards and feel that i'm being punished for not being my usual happy self. I did tell him I was not upset with him. I'm worried about other things financial, and especially my son going to Irag(he is a Marine).

We did live together but I moved out months ago.(because of him needing space) But we still see each other 3/4 times a week.

Why is this so difficult for him and shouldn't the support be recipicated ??

Thanks

rcn agony auntSome men are not too sensitive, but this is way beyond that. It seems as if he really does not appreciate you at all, aside from a bit of sex here and there. He is very insensitive, and has no respect for you or the way you feel

If I were you, i'd be saying goodbye.

He is using you and doesn't want any of your unpleasantness. Shape up or ship out girl.
