Does my boyfriend have anxiety issues?

You probably already know the answer to this question. Re-read what you have written and ask yourself if this is the type of relationship you want to be in and ask yourself if this relationship seems all one-sided.

You’re totally right, I said something about it tonight because I feel like I’m worth changin the routine just a little bit. I’m very easy to please I dont ask for much. I love him so much and it hurts when all i want is so simple but he asks for everything. He’s mad at me right now. I hope he changes just a little or i think i’ll leave him. Its already hard with us being an interracial couple in Mississippi. I’m a blk female he’s a white male, he doesn’t like to take pictures or anything like that. I try not to fuss alot because I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder 3 years ago, social anxiety disorder and add, the doc told me it would help it i did more stuff to help with this and it does. I try to tell him that but he gets mad. Its alot of other problems beneath everything that i’m trying to figure out. Too much to type lol

@LuhvKiller I’m so sorry to hear about your difficult circumstances. Your life is tough enough without this parasite diluting your strength.

I hope you follow through on your decision to leave, and I wish for you a loving, helpful, sharing and caring companion in the future, Black, White or anything in the spectrum.

Do you love who he is, or do you love who you want him to be?

My grandmother told me that relationships are not 50/50, they are 70/30. Where the 50/50 comes in is taking equal turns being the one on the 30% of end of the relationship.

“I love him so much” aside, what exactly does he bring to the relationship? Not stuff he did when you first started dating, but now. What does he do to make you feel good about yourself? What does he do for you?

@PandoraBoxx – I think I like your grandmother. :-)

While he could have some anxiety issues, that is no excuse for making you his errand girl. We are all responsible for our own actions, whatever our mental issues may be. I think you need to stand up for yourself. If that means ending the relationship, it will be better for both of you in the long run. Good luck to you!

Sounds to me as if he is using you now, although he may not have been before. I suspect it is time to move on because he needs to support you just as you are supporting him. I don’t mean financially, but emotionally and simply doing things for you to make your life easier.

And if he doesn’t want to meet your family, how much future does this relationship actually have?

I would like to thank EVERYBODY for taking time answering my question. I told him what everyone said and he said he was sorry he was being so selfish. He was so worried about his own needs that he didn’t notice mine. I told him that I contimplated leaving him because i was being used. So Tomorrow night he’s taking me to see Zombieland! AND my parents are going so he’ll get to meet my mom for the first time. He’s met my dad and he loves him. So I guess I should have spoke up sooner. But Thanks you guys for the advice I truly and honestly appreciate it! you saved A dying flower.

Yay!

Glad to hear it!

That’s great! It’s awesome that you stood up for yourself. He can’t use you if you don’t let him.
