Why do we accept unacceptable behavior from our boyfriends?

My b/f of 17 years has rants and rages every once and a while. Just to let you know ahead of time, I do not live with this man. He lives in his house and I live in mine, thankfully. He is a recovered alcoholic of 31 years. I grew up in an alcoholic environment, always hollering going on in the house and a father who is an alcoholic. Every time someone hollers, especially men, I cringe. My b/f was hollering and screaming at me for a bulb that i thought was dead. I got another light bulb, thought it was the wrong size, he said it wasn't. When I said it wasn't, he started screaming and ranting and raging. Now this man is 70 years. As I said earlier I don't like hollering and he knows this. When he hollers, he makes me feel like I am 5 years old and I feel that I have done something wrong. Rather than talking about it civilly, he starts ranting. I refuse to accept this behavior. Should I kick him to the curb?

um, what?

it seems u dont love him and he doesn't love u so what kind of a question is this?!? (no offense =0

dump him, he makes ur life miserable what the hell would make u want to stay w/ him

as soon as u are done reading this, pick up ur phone, email/text him, or see him personally to DUMP HIM!



sometimes all someone needs is a push in the right direction to do what is right and that seems like ur case, dont tolerate his bs and remember: for a relationship to work, there MUST ALWAYS be respect or else it will end badly

Your comment: "...he makes me feel like I am 5 years old..." suggests that such was the environment in which you were raised.



I suggest seeing an experienced mental health professional.
