I love him but lately I haven't like him.
My boyfriend and I have been dating for over 5 years. We are in our late 20s. I have an 7 year old son from a previous relationship and they get along great. My son even views him as a father. That is not even close to being an issue with us. Currently we can not go a month without having some petty blown up arguement. Wether it is about whats for dinner to who is going to drive. I have a very short temper when it comes to him and i dont know why.He can look at me wrong and it will put me in a bad mood. When i try to talk to him about why I may be short and rude at times to him it causes a whole other can of issues. Currently he is in school and will be graduating soon. I have been caring the weight of majority of the bills and also taking my son to and from school, practices, friend's house etc. I dont feel appeciated and slightly feel taken for granted. He will rebuke any of that and throw out examples of what he does to help, (picks up our son (occasionally), does dishes, and may make dinner a couple time a month) Please help! how can I commmunicate to my boyfriend that i feel this way without him being upset??? He is a man after all. Any of this hits his manhood/man pride.

i can totally understand where youre coming from youre carrying the load while he does simple easy things here and there that doesnt take out the stress and everything you take care of through out the weeks and because hes in school youre trying to be considerate but now youre going through mood swings feel irritable being with him and youre overwhelmed !!try to relax and have a talk with him be calm and see if he comes to and understanding of how stressed you feel .also if he can come to a conclusion on how things can change so that you wont be so stressed than he actually cares!!if not than hes being selfish we know school gets in th way you been holding things down but theres only so much weight you can take he needs to give you time for you . remember is better to b alone then to b with someone that doesnt make you happy thru out the years that youre also getting older.

When you start doing more than you can honestly handle, it takes a tole on your mood. I highly believe communication is the strongest survivor technique in a relationship so please talk to him about what's going on with you. I know he can't help that he's in school and soon he won't be and will be making a better contributor to the household. Especially with a child it ain't easy and hats off to you. He sounds good to me, being active in your child's life. It'll get better just now things are challenging and hopefully that's all you got to go through in your life.
