sneakygurl Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 Ah the continuous, epic saga of relationships. At this point, my boyfriend is no longer making me happy. We dwell on the past and consistently cannot move on because our arguments dredge up old issues. It's tough because I think he grounds me and has qualities that I need in a partner, but he's very resistant to any requests I make. I think he drinks too much, works too much, and I worry about the stress in his life. I think he sees my worry and conern as controlling. I feel that we are at an impasse and that I am only contributing to his bad behavior by not saying anythng. I feel like I can't win in the relationship and forsee that it will be over pretty soon. Is it time for me to call a spade a spade or should I reevaluate myself, am I a control freak?
riobikini Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 sneakygurl, You don't seem to qualify as a control freak but your concern for him, it appears, -is going unappreciated. If he truly can't see the need for reducing his workload or stress level, and is quite happy with things the way they are, your concern will only continue to annoy him. If he simply refuses to make changes, and you continue to be uset by it, you are left with only one option: leave. Then wait and see what happens. -Rio
