Stuff Going On

Teen Stories

Hi. I'm 19 years old. Six months ago I moved out of my parents' house because of my boyfriend. I felt pulled from every different direction. Now that I don't live there anymore, my parents act like they miss me with other people. With me, it's as though they are happier. Also, they never met my boyfriend, but started saying stuff and won't let me spend time with him unlike all the other boys that I've dated. Now all they do is say I'm their "long gone daughter" and so on. Now I live with my boyfriend and we've been dating for six months. I love him, but I feel so alone and feel like I have no one. I have no friends, and I don't have my family anymore. I feel depressed sometimes and my boyfriend seems to put me down. :( I have a learning disability, and I have a lot of allergies, and I just feel like he doesn't care anymore. Before living with him things were super. Now we live together, and we're always spending time together. The only time I have to myself is when I'm at work or when he goes out somewhere. I feel so hurt and have no idea what to do. I want to make things right. I don't want to be annoying or fight with him, but that's all that seems to happen when we're together. He says I'm always complaining. Ugh! I don't want to fight with him because sometimes the fights get out of line, and one of us gets hurt. I really love him.

Whats it Mean ?

  • lhslions, you're not alone. Sometimes taking a new step in a relationship can be difficult.
  • Living together as a couple can test a relationship. It's a difficult test, but not impossible. It is something you both have to work on.
  • Your parents probably have strong feeling about you moving out. They are adjusting to a new situation just like you are. Talk it out and keep them close.
  • If you feel as though talking to your boyfriend usually turns into fighting with your boyfriend, then you might need to work on how the two of you communicate. Good communication skills are necessary for any relationship to work.
  • Adjusting to any new situation is difficult. It can be lonely when you start a new stage in your life, even if that stage involves being with someone. Try to talk things out and let your boyfriend know how you feel.
