Confused..

Asked by beenloved over 2 years ago, 4 answers.

My boyfriend and I have been dating for a little over 6 months. It really is an amazing relationship, but things have changed a little. He really is awesome but he doesn't seem to know how to comfort me anymore. Whenever I get upset he just kind of...

sits there and doesn't do anything. Or he'll make it sound like I'm always wrong. Like if I have a fight with my mom and I go to him crying he just suggests things that make me sound like the bad one. He used to be able to make me really happy when I was down. Now its just like he doesn't care. It makes me feel like sh*t, and I know he doesn't mean to do that. So I don't really know what to do. Do I just continue feeling like sh*t, or should I actually try talking to him? If I do talk to him though, it will be weird, I don't really know how to talk about it and I don't want him to get upset with me. Or maybe it's just me and nothing has changed at all. Either way, I'm really bummed and don't know what to do.

well if you have been dating him for 6 months and this seems to be bothering you....then you should be able to talk to him about it. and let you know its bothering you. that is what HE can do to maybe make this situation better. but you have to ask yourself a question as well. ::::
everytime you get upset do you first go running to him. what im trying to say is...do you go crying to him tooo much maybe??

just tell him whats on your mind

First think of that if you "are down" a little bit more times than that is reasonable. If so, you can underastand him if he is a little bit bored by your continuous complaining. But if you feel that your complains are not too much and always admissable, then you may think of having an other b/f.

Don't forget that men and women communicate in different ways. Men try to be problem-solvers; women try to be empathizers. Nothing wrong with either one, but if what you get isn't what you were expecting, it can feel bad. In this case, it sounds like he needs to do a bit more listening and comforting. But realize that he may never do that in the same style that one of your girlfriends would. Other side of the coin: If he came to you with a problem, he'd be looking for a step-by-step solution, not a warm hug.

You should try to talk to him about it. After this much time you two need to be comfortable talking with eachother about these kind of things. Using the same logic, if you two are comfortable talking about the bad things then that may be why now he is okay with pointing out where you may be wrong in a situation. Don't think of it as him not wanting to comfort you, maybe you should think about what he says and use it. If you get upset a lot of the time, also, then he may not be sure of when to comfort you and when to just let you be, because it would be pretty exhausting to always be trying to make you feel better. Nonetheless he should be able to help you out in some way if you're down-tell him how you feel but listen to his side of it. Good Luck.
