Hi, Rayne Selene. I can understand your frustration with your boyfriend. I know this comparison might sound weird, but in a way he reminds me of my mother. She never seemed to want to hear my problems and was almost totally involved in her work. That really hurt. She just tried to make me laugh or sort of turn my upset feelings into a joke, too. Tickling someone when they don't want to be tickled can be considered abusive in my book.

Have you actually tried to tell your boyfriend how you feel? If he doesn't make an effort to change and to listen to you after that, then I suggest you really consider whether he is the one for you in the long run.
