Just sit down and tell him how you feel, tell him you love him but cant stand the way hes been acting and that if he doesnt try to help and fix whatever went wrong then you'll have to break up. And obviously you dont want to since you love him but if its meant to be then hopefully when he gets his act together then you can get back together. Plus, if hes smart the threat of breaking up will make him realize how much your worth to him and he'll shape up. good luck [ greeneyedgirl9o's advice column | Ask greeneyedgirl9o A Question ]

Counseling. Couples counseling. No question.
With rocky relationships like this one the outlook isn't good. I honestly think that couples counseling NOW is the only way you two will have a real chance to make it work. Because believe me, relationships with a lot of fighting don't spontaneously improve all by themselves.
It takes work. But if you both WANT the relationship to work, I think - with help - that it will.
