Woman should exit from troubled relationship
Dear Amy: My boyfriend and I have been together for two years.
He has a beautiful daughter whom I have a great relationship with.
He and I are 12 years apart, and at times I second guess his maturity.
He moved in with me about eight months ago.
I know he loves me and I love him dearly, however, his temper can really make me second guess everything too easily.
He likes to go out with friends about three times a week. When he comes home, I tend to get very nervous and begin questioning what I might have done wrong to get him upset.
It can be anything from not blow-drying my hair, to leaving a piece of his mail on his side of the bed.
I understand some men like their women to do things for them and I want to do things for him. But that piece of mail turns into a pile of garbage in his eyes, because it starts an argument of why am I so lazy. He claims I don't do anything for him or think of anyone but myself. Then he begins to express that's why I'm so overweight and he body shames me in every way a man can.
I will take the bait occasionally and speak up for myself, but his anger takes over and he's never wrong. Other times I simply stay quiet and he goes on and on.
I love this man and I try so hard to sleep these things off. But I find myself becoming an angry person being around him while he's upset.
