Question - (5 May 2010) 1 Answers - (Newest, 5 May 2010)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I have been in this relationship for about 9 months now. both me and my boyfriend are 20 years old. Ive been in long-term relationships before, but his on the other hand have never lasted over 3 months...maybe even less. In the past we have had a lot a good times and bad, however we worked out the bad problems and moved on. Well about 4 months ago he has started acting like a 4 year old. He blows things WAY out of proportion (and knows this), he's very jealous, and protective. Lately (3-4 months ago) he's has been acting sensitive to every little thing I do!

Now its like whenever we have a problem or I'm worried about something and wish to discuss it with him he takes it as me bashing him or being a jerk to him. I feel like I'm the only who wants to solve anything, because all he does is pout or get mad and stop talking to me. A few days ago he got mad at me for NO REASON! I asked him why he was mad at me and he said I had been a jerk to him all day. I hadn't said anything bad to him the whole day. I kept asking him but he kept replying with "your being a jerk". Then he got the computer and stopped talking to me. During this time I was trying to have some form of convo with him all he said was "don't need it", "ok", and "whatever bye". The last one was when I was leaving and I gave him a hug (he didn't hug back).

I've talked with my friends and most of say i should leave him. My other friend said I should take a break a see how I feel after that. Well I'm taking a break but I didn't tell him because I know he would just blow it out of proportion saying I wanna break-up. Its only been two days for the break and he thinks I'm acting strange. I don't know what to do anymore. I've weighed the pros and cons and this is his only flaw that I have an issue with. I really like him and I wanna stay, but he is making it kinda difficult.

rcn agony auntTell his as you just stated here. Just say, "You're making it difficult for us to stay together. You don't want to sit and discuss things so we can solve issues. Either we get things done together, as I'd hope we could, or I am going to have to leave and move on." Short and to the point.
