christina answered Saturday April 8 2006, 3:15 pm: Dump him. =[ He's selfcentered & selfish. If all he ever thinks about is himself & that's all he ever talks about, then he's a pretty big jerk who doesn't deserve to have a girlfriend. Just dump him, because that's not what you need.
deathwillcome answered Saturday April 8 2006, 2:49 pm: You aren't selfish at all, he is smothering you. Break up with him, he won't get better. He is mostly showing off, but that doesn't give him permission to act like that. If you don't feel like it is sooo serious that he will never change, talk to him about it, then give him a little while, then if he doesn't change, split. There really isn't much you can do about the way he acts. I hope that I helped, and remember that my inbox is always open. You don't have to rate if you don't want to, but it would be nice if you did. Thanks! [ deathwillcome's advice column | Ask deathwillcome A Question ]
pplperson answered Saturday April 8 2006, 1:54 pm: Break up. I mean it might hurt him but if he asks why tell him that all he ever does it talk about himself. When you lost your dad did he ever try to confort you? If he didn't he's not worth it. If he only thinks about himself then what do you think he's going to do if you get hurt. Not do anything or help you. most likly do nothing.

tluu78 answered Saturday April 8 2006, 1:46 pm: Is someone holding a gun to your head and ordering you to date this guy? I don't mean to sound insensitive, but you do have the ability as a human to make decisions for yourself. It's called free will. I do understand the pressures to date someone and to be popular, but you need to take care of your own needs first, otherwise you will look back years from now and wonder why your life is so unfulfilling. A relationship is a two-way thing. If you are giving and not receiving, then you have a right to ask for his attention and interest in you in return. It is not selfish to want to be in a relationship in which you are getting something back in return as well.
I know that I've been in relationships that have not worked. It's not a bad thing when this happens. But you live and move on and learn from them. With each new relationship, I've learned new things about myself and about what I want out of relationships. Now, you know that you want someone who will pay attention to you and who is truly interested in you, your feelings, and what you have to say.
If you do want to try to make this work with Brett, then you need to tell him point blank: "When you disregard my feelings and what I have to say, I feel hurt." You then await his response. If he apologizes and makes an effort, you can help him to become interested in you. If he again turns it into something about him, then you need to make a decision. Do I continue to be ignored? Or do I respect myself enough to walk away? [ tluu78's advice column | Ask tluu78 A Question ]
LoViNu2mOuCh answered Saturday April 8 2006, 1:36 pm: Ok, no offense but it really sounds like your boyfriend is a big jerk. He has no right to say who's life is worse, in fact it doesn't even matter he should just try to comfort you, not argue with you about which of you has a worse life.
I think your only options are to either confront him about it (he will probably deny it), or you can just leave him. And I would recommend leaving him, because you do not need to deal with a guy like that.
