Advice Column: He’s making me unhappy

 

The Question: 

He’s making me unhappy. I need relationship advice.

Alright so me and my boyfriend have been together for a little over a year. We broke up back in May but then got back together. Ever since we got back together, things have changed dramatically. I can’t trust him with a certain friend because they did drugs together behind my back. He says he won’t do it anymore and I can’t trust that. I’m always the first one to text him, he can never text me first. I cry all the time because he yells in my face when he gets frustrated with me. I tell him my feelings and its like he doesn’t listen. I’m not allowed to state my opinions about his friends but yet he comments on my friends all the time. He ditches me to go hang out with his friends, usually on the weekends. He makes me nervous and anxious when around him. He claims all he tries to do is make me happy, but yet he makes me miserable every chance he gets. He’ll stop answering my texts for a night, then give no explanation for it the next day. Advice please?

My Response:

Dear Unhappy;

It sounds to me like you already know deep down what you need to do. You broke up once for a reason, and you obviously don’t trust him enough to be happy with his decisions. Being with him is making you more miserable so why would you stay with him? I know it’s not easy to leave a relationship when you care about the person, but it’s not healthy to stay in a relationship that you are clearly unhappy in. If you feel that you need to talk to him, then talk. Let him know how you feel. If he doesn’t change then move on. You deserve better.
