You should never have to put up with someone who criticizes you in that way. He tells you that you don't do things the right way- as though there is a "right" way to do anything. You should do what feels right, and if that's not good enough for HIM, then HE is not good enough for YOU.

"He treats me like crap...but I like him SO much." It sounds like you feel dependent on him, otherwise you would not like someone who treats you that way. Maybe you like the idea of having a boyfriend, rather than having HIM as a boyfriend...hope that made sense. So you didn't stroke his arm the way he likes- a mature person would give you hints, rather than tell you outright that it's like you were "scratching a dog." That sounds disrespectful and immature to me.

Listen, I'm not trying to tell you exactly what to do; I'm just here to advise you. This does not sound like a happy and healthy relationship. If you feel like he treats you badly, then make it known, and do not let it continue. If that means moving on and finding someone else (who is mature and respectful enough to treat you well, by the way), then that is probably the best thing for you. Never settle for someone who will not settle for you.

Thank you

I am here to give honest advice, when I feel I have something to contribute. I try to be as empathetic and understanding as I can, as I know that the way something is said is as important as the message itself.

I usually advise on love/relationships, friendship and family issues, nutrition, and health (mental and physical). If I feel I can help out, there's not a whole lot I am unwilling to answer. Ask away!
