This feels weird asking. But … I (22F) have been with my bf (24M) for just over a year. He’s usually sweet, but lately he’s been acting like everything I do is “too flirty” or “too attention-seeking.” I’m literally just my normal self, joking around, being playful, dressing how I like, chatting with people, having fun, but he reacts like I’m trying to cross some invisible line.
I love him, but it’s exhausting to feel like I constantly have to censor my personality. I don’t want to start fights over nothing, but I also don’t want to lose the parts of me that make me… me.
How can I be myself around him without it turning into a fight every time?
TL;DR: I love my bf of a year, but he freaks out over me being my normal flirty/fun self. How do I stay myself without constant arguments?
