Question Posted Wednesday December 19 2007, 6:47 pm
Okay So me and my boyfriend have been dating for over 2 years and get along really well and for the most part he treats me very well and is very sweet and funny. but sometimes he can get into these moods where everything I say or do can make him turn into a jerk for a while and it hurts me because its like whow why are you acting this way. And then i leave him alone for a few minutes and he is fine. Anyways and at school sometimes he can be a complete jerk to people and he doesn't realize it or care. I just want to know why he does that or how can I explain to him that what he says hurts people. Because i've tried telling him to stop and He thinks he is just messing around when he says stuff like that to people. So how do I make him understand?? Please help!!! Thank you!

You can't control his actions, there is no easy button in life, he may just be going through a phase. Sometimes people are just mean without realizing it, or it can be his dry sense of humor? If he gets out of control, talk to him some more, but that's all you can do. Let him realize it on his own, you had your input and that's all you can do for now. Just sit and wait, hopefully this new mean streak won't last, and maybe he is just stressed? Whatever is, he will see that he is pissing people off and they won't take it anymore. He'll learn, and he'll control himself. :] Hope things get better. [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]
