I, M20 with my M21 boyfriend have been together for about a year and two months and I have come to the conclusion that I’m completely drained. For starters my boyfriend is the sarcastic and gives you the cold shoulder kind of guy. An example of this is that we would be playing a video game together and we would lose which is okay, but then he decides he’s going to make that loss his entire mood for the rest of the day. He can be sweet at times but the cons are starting to slowly outweigh the pros.
He also starts sometimes acting immature like a few days ago we had a disagreement about something and yet again he decided to make it his whole personality for the rest of the day. It seems like I can’t go a single day without some argument or disagreement happening where it puts one of us on edge. There were times where I talked to him about his problems, but either he apologizes and just does it again the very next day or he tells me he’s only mad at the game and he never gets this mad at anything else and then the same thing happens the next day.
Now this is his first relationship and I can make the excuse that he maybe doesn’t know how to properly read the lines, but most of these problems I would think is common human decency. I feel like a bad person for being exhausted after going through this and I dread the feeling of leaving him, but I also want a partner who will listen and not have anger issues every time something doesn’t go right. I’ve had partners in the past so I know that this is possible, but like I stated before I dread losing them because of the loneliness I feel after every break up.
TL;DR: Boyfriend makes me feel drained because he’s sarcastic and ignores needs.
What should I do? Should I wait and keep talking to him and hope one day it all stops? Should I leave him and move on? Has anyone else felt this way before or is it just me?
