New User, Becoming EHEALTHy
My boyfriend and I have been dating for about 3 1/2 years. We both love each other very much but the problem is lately we have been fighting all of the time. It is we seem to both get angry at even the little things lately. Now this could be caused by the fact that we live with each other. What is awful it the day after we move into a new house (and sign a year lease) my boyfriend says he wants to take a break. Both of us lately have been unhappy but we can't seem to figure out what is making us unhappy. He says he loves me with all his heart and it kills him that he is upset but he said we both go back and forth and just fight all of the time. Like when if i'm not mad at him that he is mad at me and vice versa. It is so hard because we have just been arguing over little things like closing the windows when we leave the house. We have both decided to not see other peopel because we only want to be with each other but I don't know how to act. I don't know if I should leave him alone and not talk to him or if I should just try to act like we are just meeting again for the first time. I am frustrated because we share a car also and so it is not like we can get away from each other and I hate the fact that we are even on this break. We also share a room which does include a bed. We don't do anything in bed together but it is so confusing. I have tried to have him even act as my friend (like at least talk to me so we can figure this out) but he does not seem to want to talk to me. He talks to complete strangers more then me. I do understand that I am to moody and so is he. The problem is we both want each other and love each other but we don't want to always fight. How can I change that without becoming the person who always gives in (even though at this point I would give in to most things) except when he yells for no reason. Is there anyway to change this and again how do you act towards each other on a break?

Guys don't talk alot when they're upset do they? They like to go into a little trance and think about it......On the other hand women wanta talk everything to death...........Doesn't make for a very good mix, eh?........But if you respect his differences and allow him his time off to brood or just think, then you can't lose.

Also ask yourself.....If you were him would you want to come home to you?

Do you greet him at the door with a big sloopy loving kiss or is it ragging time? Is everything a war of the wills or are you practicing give and take?

Finally, saying I love you and living together is fine......But do you guys have anything to look forward to? If not, playing house will quickly turn into a dull routine(like a neglected marriage)............Get out and do stuff together.........But have time apart also. :)

i agree and also there is the fact that the two of you have different things that get on the others nerves.Like one of you may leave clothes on the floor and the other thinks they should be put in the hamper.One of you may think its ok to leave the windows open while your gone and the other one wants them closed.Little differences can become big if you don't meet each other half way,know what I mean? I know my boyfriend gets pissed that I come int he room and forget about my wet towel on the bed,and when I leave my clothes on the hooks in the bathroom when they are meant for towels. . .Lol I can't stand it when he leave his work clothes next to his hamper instead of putting them .I.N the hamper,or when he leaves the front door unlocked when we go to bed,i want it locked. You guys just need to get use to it but some people just can't live together

I agree too..You may have to move on. In come cases like these you have to consider what you want.. When me get upset about things they dont talk much..Try reading a book call men are from mars and women are from venus..I read this book and even though it seemed a little bias, it helped me understand the interaction between men and women..Some of the advise that was given when it came down to men did help me when there was an argument in process. I have to say once you move a man into your home, you have a chance to get to know the real person before the marriage proposal. If you are trying to get married, you have to view all the signs around you to see if this is someone you want to spend your life with..
