General Relationship Thread

[Youki-Hi]

I've been with my guy for a couple of months now. It's been going well, but there are some problems - always are. He's very possessive, which I absolutely can't stand. When we go out he wants to spend all his time with me, I want to talk to my friends. So he keeps saying annoying things like "it feels like this relationship is all about you" and "I feel like I'm only there for when you're bored". Which is pretty much breaking talk if it goes on too long, I can't be with someone who doesn't appreciate me. I have made a lot of sacrifices, I normally go out a lot more with my friends and do a lot more extra curricula stuff and get a lot more involved in life in general, and he doesn't tend to much at all and so I get so frustrated spending a lot of time at home with him just making out. I want to live darn it, I'm only 20, so much life left to go. He is really sweet and fun and clever though, so it kind of makes up for the possessiveness. Hopefully the possessiveness will calm down in time and we'll reach compromises naturally. The problem with that is he likes having lots of arguments at the beginning and creating arguments that he thinks will crop up later on, while I like to take a relationship as it comes, if there ends up being a massive argument then wait until it happens and deal with it then. I can't cope with arguing 6 times a week at the beginning, it just feels wrong. You've not set up the foundations properly yet.

Ive been with my boyf 3 years, and we've just got out own place together after living at my mums for a year.

Its weird, cos in our relationship, he's the one who's really after marriage and kida, and Im al little more more reluctant, although Im coming round to the idea now...

ive been with the bf for nearly 4 years, and weve live together for the past 9 months.

And he makes me happy.

i've been with my boyfriend for 3 years and 2 days

we met at school, so the first few months of uni was near impossible, we were so used to being within five minutes of each other that me living in Portsmouth and him living in Bath was a shock to the system. doesn't help that he's amazing and has girls chasing him all the time.

i can only say that patience is a virtue, as well as being able to keep your temper under control

I've been with my boyfriend just over a year...I can't believe how different it is to my two other 'serious' boyfriends. We haven't ever had a big argument, which used to be a weekly thing with the other guys, haha. It's always really good Plus, it's been long-distance since September which is something I never though I'd do, but I'm so glad I have. I can see us still together in a few years, at least, but planning ahead scares me so we don't really talk about the future, which is fine by me, haha. My mom, however, is entertaining plans of me and Jake getting married and living happily ever after :P Heh.

Been together about 7 months. Have never been happier.

Oh dear my sob story then :P?

I've been single for about a year, I can't really commit to anyone for longer than about 5-6months, unfortunetly. Though with a single one we've been on and off for about 4 years and recently..well last week actually I was looking at him and realised that was it, no more.

It's sad to close such a long chapter but I certainly feel alot better about it, I'm not having to worry he's doing something stupid.

Plus it means a nice fresh start when I go to uni and whatnot.

+1

Guys can be twunts like that, I don't get why it lasted 8 months though. If he was with you that long and genuinely liked you then what's time? to just disappear like that is pathetic.

I was dumped for the same reason once upon a time. I aint no manslag.

I keep telling them I'm 'different' haha. Do they listen? No.

Seriously, most people don't know a good thing when they have it.

But it was the best thing I did, not sleeping with her. She dumped me by text the next day... says it all really, did me a massive favour. She's just had a kid a few months ago and the father is nowhere to be seen.
