Question Posted Saturday November 3 2007, 10:14 pm
Just recently I told my boyfriend how I truly
felt, that I wasn't as happy with our relationship like before and he said he felt the same way. Then he went on about how it feels like I don't care about him at school. Also he told me how it seems when I show up to his group in the morning he feels he can't act himself or I'll think he's "fudging weird" and just leave. Which is true because his
group of friends do embarrass me. They are loud, obnoxious, and weird. He can be sometimes too and I get really annoyed. We can't find a solution to our problem and I need help fast! Any ideas to what we should do? We've been dating for 2 months.
we're both juniors in high school.
What is there to talk about? You don't like a facet of his personality. He doens't like that you don't let it. He has told you doesn't want to change and resents feeling that he must change. You are feeling embaressed and ashamed.

The big problem is being himself evidently includes being loud and obnoxious. You will have to accept that part of his personality if you want to stay together. Not being himself is causing HIM embarrassment. Sounds like he is trying, but I'm afraid it isn't making him happy.

Did you talk to him how his friends embarrass you? If not, you should! I'm sure he'll understand... [ HottStuff's advice column | Ask HottStuff A Question ]

To help get your relationship back to the way it was start thinking about all the good things that you did together and maybe make a scrap book out of you and him together or get a promise ring. Hope all goes well! [ wisemen's advice column | Ask wisemen A Question ]
