My boyfriend (19) and I (18) have been dating for almost a year now. He's always been extremely nice to me and loving. He'd tease me sometimes but in a cute way. Over the past month or so I've noticed the teasing increasing a lot and it's getting well...mean. He'll point out my flaws about myself that I hate (my ears, and ankles), make fun of the way I speak at times, and he'll cuss at me alot more. Not like, cuss me out but last night, he called me a bitch and I was absolutely blown away--I couldn't believe it but he said he was joking and he was laughing and joking around about it. He also told me to shut up. After that, I confronted him about it and he claims that nothing has changed about the way he is towards me. But something is clearly different and I'm just wondering if anyone has any idea what. The cussing isn't really that bad, it was just last night that he did that but the teasing goes get very mean.

Maybe you've insulted or embarrassed him without noticing, and that's his way of getting even. It sounds like he may be mad about something you did, and now he's doing this to spite you. It could simply be that he's gotten very comfortable with you. Also, maybe he feels like you complain a lot about yourself [not saying you do, just taking a guess], and is making fun of you to make you realize you're blowing things out of proportion. Either way, talk to him again and tell him something HAS clearly changed and you want to know what it is, cause you're just not comfortable with that new relationship. Good luck.
