Me [24 F] with my boyfriend [29 M] of 2 years, does not listen when I speak and changes subjectRelationships

submitted 16 hours ago by AliPapa7

quote:

So, I've looked all over google and relationship boards and I just can't get a clear opinion on what's been going on in my relationship.

I don't feel like I can communicate with my boyfriend properly. When I speak to him sometimes I say something and he does not regard what I say and changes the subject completely. It's been really irritating me as of late. It feels almost impossible to get a point across when no one on the other end wants to comprehend and respond.

Some of the time he disregards what I say and then says "I'm too emotional" or "I'm easily offended" which makes me feel like a crazy person. I just really hate that I cant seem to have a normal conversation and my ideas/feelings are not being validated or even warrant a response. I've tried telling him this and pointing it out but it usually just leads to a fight and like I said an accusation that I'm too emotional.

I even had to google the definition of "ignore" the other night solely to point out that if he can HEAR my words but chooses not to respond or acknowledge me he is ignoring me. He just can't seem to get a grasp on that. What the heck am I supposed to do here?

tl;dr: boyfriend ignoring me, saying I'm "easily offended" - rawr

I don't know, murder him?

Me [20 F] with my bf [23 M] duration, fleas are killing me and my relationship.Relationships

submitted 22 hours ago * by fleasarekillingme

quote:

bf = Tom

So for the past 2 months there has been a really bad flea infestation inside our home. The odd thing is I'm the only one who's getting bit. My entire body is covered from head to toe in flea bites, and Tom does not have a single bite! Because of this, Tom considers it only my problem. Since I'm the only one being affected by this, I have to clean the sheets, wash his dog, apply flea medicine, etc.

Every time I bring up how itchy or miserable I am from the flea bites, he becomes annoyed. I asked for the dog to not sleep on the bed anymore, and tom's response is to call the dog to the bed anyway - fully knowing that it's bringing even more fleas and makes me unhappy.

I can't take these fleas anymore! And I hate how just because he's not getting bit, he thinks I'm overreacting! Just to give some insight on how many bites I have its well over 30.
tl;dr: Fleas are biting me and not my bf, therefore he thinks I'm overreacting and doesn't think it's his problem to help.

Update Edit: Read through all the advice given to me so far, I can't exactly up and leave here so I decided to do the next best thing and have a serious talk about the problem with Tom. After an unnecessarily long and dragged out conversation he's finally agreed to help me treat his dogs and the bedroom for fleas. Going to buy flea collars, shampoo, DE, sprays, and do a deep cleaning until the issue is solved.

On the bf issue, it has raised some flags for me, and I'll try to handle it the way I think is appropriate, although I appreciate the community's words. Thank you!

Haha for some reason insects always beeline for my husband and never bite me, but if he was getting eaten alive by nasty rear end fleas I think I'd listen to him. They carry diseases, you* gross turd

People want validation. Usually the people that post this stuff know deep down what they should do, but they are second guessing their decisions. Like the lady who had the husband getting really close to the pregnant co worker

"My husband wants to help his pregnant co worker. This makes me uncomfortable"
"My husband is insisting we give her $1,000 to help with expenses. This makes me uncomfortable"
"My husband wants to buy a baby stroller for pregnant co worker. This makes me uncomfortable"
"I talked to the co worker and she was hostile to me and said my husband didn't love me anymore. This makes me uncomfortable"

Like the answer is screaming them in the face but they are so worried there is a 1% possibility they are overreacting and that it might backfire if they do anything about it.

My (20 F) SO broke up with me (21 M) for reasons I fully can't understand

quote:

Essentially everything was fine and we communicated well. We were the best couple and people would often undermine us. She had a hard childhood growing up and her body image is pretty bad but I encourage her every time and encourage her to do everything. She suddenly broke up with because of these reasons:

1) She feels like I deserve better because she has too many flaws and doesn't believe she could ever fit with anyone.

2) Being in love is really overwhelming for her

3) She "senses" that we were going in different paths even though she doesn't know what path she wants follow. I told her we can grow together because we've been doing that for the past 8 months and we get along really great.

4) An old wise man once told that the man she would fall in love with would be her undoing. She's hindu and started to believe in all of these things recently. She got a really bad fever and her mom that migrated here had to perform an exorcism and told me that my house is haunted.

All of this is so weird and I'm feeling like it's all my fault. I don't know what to feel about this and right now I just feel really mad. I think it's all so dumb. Can anyone provide perspective and does her religion affect this in any way too.

tl:dr-Girlfriend broke up with me for weird reasons I don't fully understand even though we still love each other. Can anyone provide perspective?
