possibly your nettle towards him is because you’re incompatible,says Mariella. But be gentler on yourselfThe dilemma I’m concerned that being in a relationship with a (wonderful) boy has brought out the worst in me. He is selfless and endlessly giving, but I find myself transformed into a far uglier and less considerate version of myself when we are together. I am impatient and hyper-emotional, or crying and feeling inflamed far more when I’m with him than when I am with friends or alone. We met two years ago when we were both 14 and a lot of change was happening in my life. My parents had unexpectedly had a second child the year before,and shortly after meeting him I went on hormonal contraception. I’m worried I contain attached my unstable emotional state from that time to him, forcing him to be a sponge for my petty adolescent worries. I’m also worried that my mood swings and impatient behaviour are hurting him and that he is too kind to say. Though we contain lots of fun and he is a fantastic companion, and I tend to focus on his downsides and reflect a lot approximately us breaking up. Should I leave him,to protect him and me from the nasty version of myself that I put forward in his company? Or is that just a inactive way of getting out of my faulty behaviour?Mariella replies In the nicest possible way, he’s irrelevant.

He’s not inspiring this behaviour in you but it certainly sounds like hes letting you get away with it. That isnt always the kindest thing to do.
