Relationship faced downhill?
I'm 16, hes 18.
we're serious, as far as serious goes for couples my age.
we spend weeks together at a time.
he never lets me spend money, unless he has none at the time. and he always wants to take me places.
we used to share a lot of romantic moments together, my favorite- eating a candle lit dinner on a dock by the lake under the stars. nuclear plants at bay.
now, ive started to feel like we're more distant, even though we're spending the same amount of time together. we have no moments- the only passionate kisses from him i get, is when we're going to have sex.
he's got a very sarcastic personality- and sarcastically tells me hes going to cheat on me, or break up with me, because he knows i dont like it.
i feel like our relationship is headed a little downhill right now, i want to talk to him, but i dont know what i should say to get things across to him.
im a pushover, and nothing makes me angry. i just get depressed.

It's good that you're generally a happy person, but it's OK to get angry too. Sometimes it's good to get angry, not just because it's a sign that you're willing to stand up for yourself, but because sometimes it lets the other person know that they're going too far before they end up doing something they regret and can't undo. Your boyfriend, with his sarcastic jokes and the lack of romantic effort he's putting into your relationship, is approaching crossing the line and costing him the relationship. The problem is, if you don't communicate, how's he supposed to know?
Relationships are all about communication, and if you're unhappy but want this relationship to work, you're going to have to talk to him. Be open and honest and tell him what's making you depressed and what would make you happy. Most girls pick up on things like that, but many guys are oblivious as to what's making their significant other upset. Unless you tell him, you're not being fair to him or to yourself. So open up your mouth and start talking. Tell him exactly what you told me. You deserve to be happy and to be treated with respect. Make sure you get what you deserve.
Good luck and write back if you need more help. :)
