i have been dating my boyfriend for almost 9 months and hes great. i love him very much. but when we fight its horrible. we both feel really bad but i feel like i always feel really bad and that everythings my fault and i feel like the worst girlfriend. i feel really selfish becuz he always puts me before him and i feel like i dont do that maybe.... i feel like i never cheer him up. plus he tells me that i dont but later he says he didnt mean it.i want to not be selfish and make him happy and i dont wanna fight. i wanna at least fight better, not be mean but like talk it out. what should i do?
chakra answered Tuesday May 24 2005, 7:36 pm: ok, first of all dont put all the blame on yourself. it takes 2 people to have an argument, putting blame on one or another isnt going to make the situation any easier or any less stressful.
what does he like doing? where do you like to go for dates? Take him out on some nice dates, things you know he really likes and things you can enjoy together.
This will relax you both and make you happier so you wont argue so much.
Everytime you feel yourself getting stressed iut and feel thae tention between you two, just breathe deeply, think of the good times you have and happy thoughts, or sing a good song in your head just to calm down.
And when you feel like shouting, just think of how much you love him and how you dont want to lose him, because if you argue alot its going to take its tole on the relationship untill one of you has had enough. so just think of that and that should make you want to resolve the situation calmly and rationaly, just talk everything through. shouting doesnt help, if anything it makes it worse.
