Dear Viewers,

 

I have been in a relationship with my boyfriend for 7 months now. He sometimes have immature attitudes and seem to not know what he wants but he is a great guy. I'm 19 and he's 20. He is my first boyfriend and I'm his first. We met during College (we are now in University) and we are both international students from different countries. During the first 3-4 months, everything was great. However, he sometimes gets a little too demanding, expecting a lot of attention from me all the time. We went back to our homes for 1 month during school break and met again after that. When i was at home, i felt lighter, as i was able to do my own stuff. Now that we're back in university again, he wants me to spend more time with him although i feel that i should be studying more. I feel that my results have been dropping and I really want to get back on track. I've talked to him about this issue many times. He "understands", leave me alone for a day or two and starts demanding my attention again. It makes me feel very annoyed and feel like I'm a caged bird. He gets very upset(he cried a few times) when i say i need to get back to studying and it makes me very guilty when he cries or puts up a sad face. I would have to wait for him before preparing lunch, doing laundry as he feels that we should be doing those together. He makes me feel as if I'm his world and I've been trying to make him stop feeling like I'm his everything as there are a lot of things out there except me. His personal life seems to have diminished after meeting me and i feel very stressed out by him and being pressurized by my parents to study well. My priorities are to study well but I don't want to hurt him. Help!

 

Also, I'm the only person who knows about his family matter (he grew up with his dad) but I'm confused if he really likes me for me, or I'm like a "mother" whom he feels comfortable talking to as some of my friends tell me to stop letting him make me his "mother", taking care of his meals and laundry.

To tell you the truth, you are from another country, you family probably struggled to come her to provide you with a good future, don't screw that up by being with the wrong guy!

 

I mean, if you feel something is not right, it is!

So just leave and put your eyes on the prize..........
