My boyfriend of about 8 months and I live together. Don’t spend too much time together meaning, we arent around eachother all the time out of work, our schedules are different, so we get space apart, but we do see eachother everyday even if for a little bit. Basically, here is my thing:
I treat him really good, i concern myself with his feelings and in all honesty, most guys would kill to have a gf as chill as I am, while still being affectionate and caring.
It seems that he stresses on EVERYTHING. He can be perfectly happy, and the smallest things piss him off. They have nothing to do with me, but it is depressing always being around such negativity.
He spent a little over 3 and a 1/2 years in prison, and got realeased a little over a year ago. He is really a good guy. Hes just is so bitter about life and stuff. I just wanted to know if anyone out there has some productive advise. I want to be with him, but I don’t want to sacrifice my own happiness forever.


that is a tough one, i would have said dump him until i read about his prison thing. that must have been very hard on him. men are useless at communicating on a general level, let alone if he has had to endure a long stretch in prison. just simply being there for him is a start. The fact that you don’t see much of eath other might be a factor. if he’s so wrapped in a job and doesn’t get to see you much, hes using you for his frustration. some proper time together might help. i would say try talking but i’m in the school that men are better left be when emotional as talking doesn’t help them the same way as it helps women. its up to you whether you can be strong enough to put up with it and hopefully he will see how special you are because you can only help him by being kind. he may have a lot of issues with not feeling worthy and i would consider it an honour to be able to support him through that
find a real man, not a jailbird.
