    I HATE MEN....sometimes.

     

    I'm just so down-trodden lately...and my boyfriend, whom i live with, is not helping my mental health AT ALL. he just says such negative and unnecessary things sometimes. and guys don't get something that many women have. we have a sensitivity to tone of voice when people talk to us.

    if a guy says something and his tone of voice is gruff or angry-sounding, no matter WHAT he says....we'll probably take it offensively.

    ex: (cliche, but an example)

    GF: "honey, do i look fat in these jeans?"

    BF: "no, babe, u look fine" (says with a sigh)

    if i was that girlfriend i'd be annoyed and a little pissed b/c his sigh could mean a lot of different things...none of which are positive. the first thing i'd think is "wow...he's annoyed at me for asking a question, what a dick."

    plain and over-used example but it gets my point across.

    my bf is just so negative lately, and i always feel like it's my fault. i know it isn't, rationally, b/c i give him EVERYTHING. he wants me to buy him something (happens very often) it's his before i even think twice. i make him every meal AND do the dishes afterward. we have a great communication level when something is bothering us.

    but then i feel like it might be my fault. he doesn't see how much i do for him b/c he's so used to me doing it all. i feel like he takes me for granted A LOT. i feel under-appreciated and over-stressed. i always do a little something special for him. like for our 1-year anniversary (september 1st), i made him a tape with me singing all of the songs that remind me of him. he came home in a bad mood that day and didn't want to listen to it, which was ok cuz i wanted him to enjoy it...not be in a bad mood the whole time. but today is october 25th. i've mentioned it here and there....and one day when he was home i even ASKED him to listen to it. he didn't.

    i mean, if someone spent weeks gathering songs and recording them JUST FOR ME, i would love to listen to that. i would think it was the best present in the world because it all came from the heart. i even have a poem i wrote him AND a song i wrote him on there, which he knows cuz i gave him a card w/ the track list inside. it's just eating away at me everyday that he doesn't care about something i worked so hard to make him. ESPECIALLY since he apparently "loves my voice" and he knows singing is my passion.

    i just don't know what to do. i love him more than anybody else on this earth. WHY THE FUCK CANT HE AT LEAST SAY THANK YOU ONCE IN A WHILE!!??

    i feel so alone....

    GGGGGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

    You sounds like someone who could use some monster hugs right now. Even from a total stranger like me. (:

    It's good that you realize he takes you for granted. The next step up is vocalizing that to him..that you feel over-used, over-stressed. Over everything! If he is truly a great boyfriend and loves you, he will come to realize that you're right and he needs to appreciate everything you've done for him. If he doesn't, it's time for you to evaluate things and determine if he's someone you'd want to invest more time with.

    I hope you feel better soon!
