I've posted on here before regarding the problems/issues and we started seeing a therapist lately. I am not sure where it will take us but it is worth a try when you love someone instead of giving up.
My boyfriend that I have been dating for 10 months , has anxiety/depression problems I am getting to the point where I do not know does it use it as an excuse or if he is just plain rude.
I've been under a lot of stress and pressure from work and school and of course the relationship as well. Couple of weeks ago , I had a minor break down. I was stressed and all over the place. I had a few issues with my professor at school which resulted me to get very stressed. I tried to get some comfort through my own boyfriend but he was very analytical and basically was not able to provide any support. I wasn't asking for advise, I just needed someone to listen and be comforting. The stuff he said made me feel as I was needy. We talked about this at therapy and he said he will try to be more comforting next time. I let that go but it did affect me.
I came home the other day and saw him eating dinner, he had actually made dinner but for himself. I was at work and class all day, therefore I got home around 11 pm. I wasn't hungry to the point I wanted his food, I was just sadden by the fact that he didn't think to ask if I woiuld like some when preparing the meal. Given the fact that I love to cook, every Sunday I prepare a meal for us and more for the week since we are both so busy. I usually cook him breakfast, lunch on occasion and when I am out eating or grocery shopping I would always think of him and get him something. I thought he was a bit selfish of not thinking of me, and his never cooked a meal for me. I talked to him about it we didn't argue I told him how I felt. He said sorry and didn't think I was hungry, but how would he know if he didn't ask and his seen me every time when I came home eating because I am hungry after a long day of work and school. I let that go, but stuff like that affects me and saddens me to see how he can be and to add on to the rest of the stuff in the relationship.
Last night, I decided to reorganize the closet since it was a mess. He had a broken plastic tubbawear drawer and I had an extra one that wasn't broken. I figured it would be a good idea and a nice gesture to swap it out and give him the one that was not broken. As he peeped his head into the closet he says " I don't want you going through my stuff" I was a bit hurt, I was only trying to do something good for him. I didn't see me as going through his stuff when I transfered stuff to one drawer to another. It made me feel like he was hiding something. Then I saw my socks in his sock drawer so I grabbed it, he said the same thing. I am a bit confused.
At this point, I want to figure out, if what I did was wrong before I talk to him again. With all the situations I always try to find if there was something that I had done wrong. Because its getting to the point where its him and not me and it shouldn't be a crime to be nice.
Thanks for listening.
