Hello, I'm Strawberry!
I see your confessions and grievances, and I'm here to support you! Your boyfriend is nine years older than you, and under normal circumstances, his thinking will be more mature. In your relationship, he should be able to find a way to get along with you. But from your description, your boyfriend sends you messages to scold you, and every time you argue, he uses cold violence or gets extremely angry.
From this behavior, we can see that he's not willing to give in to you first. Perhaps he thinks that if he gives in first, he'll lose a certain position in the relationship. His style of dealing with things is closely related to the people he's come into contact with during his growth process. If he doesn't know his own problems, he won't take the initiative to ease the relationship.
Oh my goodness, can you believe it? The questioner has directly cut off all contact this time because he can't stand the way you two are getting along! This method has been used by the questioner's boyfriend before. I want to ask the questioner, when your boyfriend does this, what kind of mood are you in? Can this approach solve your problems?
It's so interesting how we can imitate each other's behaviors! It's like his behavior is affecting you. You know full well that what he is doing is wrong, but in an invisible way, you also want to treat him in this way to see if he will realize his own problem and come back to you.
In this relationship, your boyfriend seems to care more about his own feelings, which is great! It can be said that he was previously spoiled, which has caused him to be more self-centered. So your mode of getting along with each other says it all. Although you are nine years younger than him, when conflicts arise, you are the one who has to comfort him more, which is a great opportunity for you to show him how much you care!
In a family group, his parents are messaging him, but he's not replying. It's been going on for a week. What's his mentality?
Oh my goodness, because of the argument with you this time, you deleted his contact information! In the process, we don't know if he contacted you, but from your previous interactions, the chances are higher that he is waiting for you to coax him back. His parents sent him a message in the group. What was the message?
Maybe his parents can tell from his behavior that you two are having a bit of a disagreement, but they're too shy to ask you directly, so they posted a message in the group to get you two talking again! Your boyfriend isn't replying, but I bet he's just waiting for you to say something first.
1. Take all the time you need to make the best decision for you!
From what the questioner has shared, it seems that they are really struggling to let this relationship go. They want to use this method to prove whether their boyfriend cares about them and whether he will take the initiative to win them back. They are testing his attitude to see if it will change.
But this will not solve the problem. If you still cherish this relationship, the two of you need to communicate well. If you have always been the one to give more in this relationship, this scenario will just keep repeating itself. But you can change it! When you break down, you can choose to explode or to take control. After the explosion, you can be the one to comfort him.
It's time to decide: do you want to continue or separate? Either way, take some time to think about what you really want.
2. Absolutely! You can totally change the way you get along!
From the text, it's not clear who started each argument or which side is in the wrong. But don't worry! From the way you handle things, it seems that the way you get along in this relationship is unhealthy. The good news is that you can change it! Have you communicated in the past to change this way of getting along? If not, no problem! Even if you get back together this time, you can still work on this together.
3. Learn together and change together!
There are more problems in your relationship, and they cannot be changed with a few words. But don't worry! If you still choose each other, then discuss and agree to learn about the relevant knowledge together, see the problems in yourself from it, and change them accordingly. I believe that through learning, you can find a suitable way to get along with each other.
Every relationship is worth managing with care! Do what you will not regret. If you are happy, then it was worth it! I hope the questioner can find the answer within himself soon, and I wish him the best!
Comments
I can't understand why he acts this way; it's like he doesn't care at all about resolving things between us.
Ending contact might be for the best if he isn't willing to put in the effort to fix what's broken between us.
Maybe he feels secure enough within himself that he doesn't see a need to reach out or apologize for his actions.
It seems like he may have a hard time with vulnerability, not wanting to show weakness by reaching out first after an argument.
Perhaps he thinks this silence is a way to punish me or make me come back to him first, but it won't work this time.
