I know mylot isn't a personal journal or a place to vent nor a place o expose all my personal business but I really needed to get this situation off my brain my chest and my heart. I'm really not looking for a response but I will gladly accept advice I just need to speak my mind. Me and my boyfriend have been in a relationship since Jan this year but when have been involved with each other deeply since 2007. We decided to make it official and I couldn't be happier. My concern is does he feel the same way. Just this morning we got into a huge debate and it got completely out of hand. My emotions boiled over and I couldn't control myself worse of all it left me confused about the way he feels. We woke up to a great morning. We decided to design my daughters room while they're away for the weekend. I have three children none in which belongs to him. As we were putting up the Hannah Montanna in the kids room we listened to music and a song came on that he like that made me ask him how could the guy tell men listening to his music that they don't need to have a girlfriend they need to pimp if he has a wife and three children? It just sounded contradicting to me because some men are players and think that having a wife is one of the worse things they can do for the single career. He actually has a wife which is 3 steps beyond having a wife with children in other words a complete family. My boyfriend went into explaining how men think and they are from different perspectives @ this time we were still hugging each other kissing and everything was just a normal situation. Until I said don't you try to be like those men. He blow up and was like I don't try to be nothing and we got into a little fight then I got silent to prevent it from going further. He did the same and he calmed down. By the end of us being done with the wall he brought it back up and we got upset all over then it escalated into bigger issues that I had no idea he was feeling. He told me that I'm not the boss of him and lately I have been asking him to help me more around my house and with my children and he has willingly with no problem which didn't make me realize I was taking it for granted. I was kinda confused though because he has been offer to help me especially when he sees I'm most frustrated. It was something that he said though that really stuck with me. He told me that for the last week my actions have been showing him that I don't want to be with him. I ask him to give me examples of times I've showed him this and he couldn't provide one he simple said I just haven't been acting the same as his baby he fell in love with. I know for the last week I have been trying my best to let him know he's the one for me on numerous occasions. Like My girls father has a car that I have in my name that he drives so we had to come together and go to the dmv and get the car back situated because its been a while since we drove it. Prior to me leaving with my kids dad me and my kids dad got into a fight because I disagreed with something he did when my kids visited him for the weekend so after that fight I told my boyfriend that he can't get me to do anything for him because he always spoil my day. But the next day my kids dad took an different approach and came to me better so I agreed to get the car together for him. When I was out and about with my kids dad I texted my boyfriend in his face so he could know that I'm serious about being with him and he shouldn't worry thinking that I'm doing other things than what I say I'm doing with my ex. And to prove to my ex that I'm serious about my boyfriend. As soon as I got home I got in touch with my boyfriend and was anxious to see him. We relaxed for the rest of the night and it didn't seem then that we had an issue. Also one of my ex boyfriends ironically is one of his friends and we happened to cross his path. I stayed focus on everything but him to let him know that he is irrelevant and that I have completely moved on.My boyfriend later on told me that his friend made him feels some kind of way and I assured him that he no longer means anything to me and I am with him now. He said he was happy to hear that. I can't even think of another time that would make him feel like I don't want to be with him but he left the house for fresh air so when he comes back whenever he does lets see if he still want to discuss the issue or is he wants me to kiss him and act like nothing happened this morning. Inside I will still be confused but I have been through similar events with him before. I can't comprehend how I'm showing him I don't want to be with him when I have just posted over ten pictures of use together on facebook to share with the whole world and I talk about him to everyone and introduce him to everyone important in my life (SHRUG)... Guess I need to try harder to prove myself. Honestly though I don't know what more I can do to show him how I feel. I swear that I'm doing the right thing but come the end of the week he telling me I didn't so now where do I stand. Confused trying to figure out what the hell is going on, how do I feel, and what do I do next?

Hi! DanaS2011 a warm welcome to you to myLot! After reading your long discussion here I feel your pain dear. It appears that you are taking the blame for some much that is going wrong in your relationship. Please take a few days to re-evaluate what has been happening. You say you do not know what else you can do, and I really can't advise you to do more. You need to do one of two things, accept and or move on. I know the move on is hard, I know it is easy for me to say it and actually do it so my advice is before you make any harsh decisions that you take a moment to re-think and re-evaluate if you really need all this. Main thing to remember is that if nothing changes you be be at square one for a years to come. Is this really what you want? Please come back to your discussion and maybe we can continue to encourage you to really take a hard look at what is going on with the whole situation?

Indeed what you say is true and I really want my relationship to work but right now I'm just monitoring the major behavior between us too because love isn't enough to have me back at square one in the long run...Thanks

This was one long post and a little bit confusing. You need to slow down, you need to think about the situation. Did his behaviour hurt you so much that you feel the need for him to apologise, or would it just be easier to kiss and make-up and forget about it. If this sort of thing happens a lot, you need to discuss with him your feelings, maybe let him read this post and see if he saw the situation this way too. You don't need to continue proving yourself, if your boyfriend can't deal with the fact that you have ex's, that's his problem to deal with. You can't keep trying to please him in that way for the next fifty years.
