Boyfriend Runs My Life
by Melissa
I am a 29 year old female who has been with my boyfriend now for almost 2 years. I got laid off from my job and had to move back home. Ever since I moved back, my boyfriend thinks that I am changing. I do agree that I have been somewhat depressed and feel helpless that I don't have a job, but I am trying to find one every single day. I have also been extremely bored and have been going out more with my friends. He doesn't think I should be. He plays poker every Monday and Friday and I can go out with my friends those days but according to him, I should stay in with him on Saturday nights. I told him I am not going to wait around for him to tell me if he is going to go out or not because I really can't let him run my life. He doesn't like my friends at home, he thinks they are bad influences and I disagree. I love to go out on the weekends and he really doesn't. I don't know if I am wasting my time in this relationship or what I am really doing. He feel that I should be checking in if I do go out. I feel like my boyfriend runs my life. He always blames me for everything. I feel he puts me down and I am always trying to defend myself. He thinks I shouldn't do that and should just accept fault and apologize. I also think that he doesn't like me sticking up for myself. I feel he wants a girl who will agree with him always and do what he wants always and I am totally not that type of girl. He is younger than I am by 3 years, has no job, and is living at home as well. I just don't know what to do anymore. Advice please. I feel helpless.
