love + family problems = bad.


Question Posted Friday January 30 2009, 6:06 am

me and my boyfriend are young and cheesy as it sounds, in love. we've been dating for a year and three months. he's had problems with his life and dealing with things because of a very big family chnage so with his problems he feels like he's bringing me down. i told him he wasn't at all because i'm his girlfriend and he can talk to me about anything. so he said he would try to be more open with me which has always been hard for him. okay yeah thats a great change but should i ask him if he has tried talking to his dad or someone about what happend and what we talked about (family problems) because this "talk" has happend twice and i feel like if he doesn't talk to someone and fix his problems, our relationship will keep going back to that and the next time he won't want to stay together. so should i ask him or should i leave it up to him? i'm not sure and i really just want to be reassured he's okay and i know he won't be okay if he doesn't talk to him dad about these issues. i just don't want to butt into something that might not be my business you know?

thanks a ton!
sorry if it's somewhat confusing, i'll answer questions if any come up.

If you think he needs to talk to his dad, then you should tell him that. A way to tell him without "butting in" is to wait until he talks to you about it again.

Next time he says he worries his problems are bringing you down, then remind him that people who love each other lean on each other. They stick together through the good AND the bad. When the bad happens, they work through it together as best as they can.
