Thanks guys. It didn't used to be an issue. It has become one recently bc he isn't the man I met. He has become really depressed bc he isn't where he wanted to be right now. He used to laugh all the time, go out, have a good time, not take anything too seriously. Now he is getting mad at the littlest thing, complains about work all the time etc....

If I had that guy back who I met 2 years ago....the other stuff wouldn't even matter. I'm self sufficient and don't always want my bf to do those things bc, personally, sometimes it makes me feel that he doesn't think I know what I'm doing. But I guess without all those other things I just mentioned, I'm just getting frustrated.

I told him it's really hard to keep being sympathetic and try to keep him motivated. So I guess those things I mentioned are just manifestations of me seeing him be so friggen down. Part of me wants to be supportive but part of me wants to yell "Just grow up! I know you're not where you want to be but who is?! Suck it up and move on!"
