I havnt been on PC for a while I worry someone at home will find out, and I dont want to have to explain myself, not when part of the reason is "you people drive me nuts!" dont think it would go down well. I feel so confused about how i feel if that makes sense? I want to feel thats its ok to have a bad day, but its not last time i was feeling low my Bf told me to basicly suck it up because it was bringing him down, which is quite hypocritical as he is the king of negativety most of the time! he is a good guy at heart he really is but he is a drama queen everything is about him all day everyday an i use to be able to just laugh at it and jolly him along but latley i just dont have the energy to bother, he snaps and gets grumpy an im left wondering wheres the the guy i fell in love with gone? and where have i gone?

Hi Indigo, I am sorry that you are struggling right now. It sounds like your bf is expecting too much from you and pouts when you can fill his needs somehow. I can't blame you for being tired of that, yes someone like that can wear one down and out after a while. There must be something in his past that has created this habit of his, not your fault or your job to fix it. The best you can do is point it out to him and tell him to seek help so he can learn to fix this problem himself. You honestly have to make sure that you don't take on his issues and feel responsible for making his life better for him.

(((Hugs)))

It isn't fair that you have to keep a happy face in order to keep from rocking the boat. That sounds like your bf uses you as his cheerleader ~ but he doesn't cheer you on when you need some support. At this point, the relationship sounds very one-sided and unfair.

You can tell your bf that you're unhappy with the way things are going right now. You need him to contribute something positive to the relationship in order to keep it going. That's what I recommend. Best wishes to you!

I agree with the others. At this point you need to decide if this is worth the bother. He needs some help -- therapy. Whether or not he's open to it is another question. It's up to him to get the help he needs.

You have to decide if you have the energy to wait it thru and even if you WANT to. He sounds like a high-maintenance kind of guy.

I wish you the very best. Take care of YOU -- and God bless. Hugs, Lee
