I am just wondering how to make my boyfriend of 2 years more sensitive towards my feelings? Often he's very blunt and rude with me, and it really is upsetting. I've tried talking to him, and he just tells me Im overreacting. He also said that I should just brake up with him if I dont like how he is.. But i love him too much Thanks.

elsie agony auntSounds like a tough one. In general women are more sensitive but we don't want a brute. Is he rude to everyone or is it just you? If it's just you then he has issues. You have spelt it out in black and white and he still wont listen. My partner was exactly the same with me for about the first year, not so much of the rudeness, just blunt and stonewalling when i became emotional. After 3 years things have very much improved. Are your partner's parents the same? He now admits that he thought he was right and couldnt see what he was doing wrong. What's going to happen further down the line when you have problems? Doesn't sound like hes going to be supportive. He is probably churned up and insecure inside. Just remember the harder they are the harder they fall.
