So I know I have been venting lately about my bf being a jerk. Well he went to therapy yesterday and actually seemed much better afterwards. I guess he told the woman about calling me names and mocking me. She told him that he obviously has problems opening up and communicating about even small things so that they build up and when he gets triggered he flies off the handle and starts saying and doing things without even realizing it.
I guess she got it out of him that he went for a couple years in high school with zero friends. And that's not an exaggeration. He literally had no friends. His parents had him in private school until 8th grade so when he transferred to public school everyone had been friends for years already and wouldn't let him into their cliques. So once he finally got friends he would do everything he could to conform to them so he wouldn't make them angry and not be his friend anymore.
Now, years later that has turned into him not letting things go or getting things off his chest and just letting it build up. He has already taken this therapists advice a little bit. He actually opened up about being a little jealous of this guy I work with because we have a really good connection. Apparently he has gotten jealous a few times and just never said anything.
He seems to really like this T and seems excited to go every week. Well hopefully it will go well and he will keep it up.....
