Are we meant to be

My boyfriend is very self centered, he is always talking about himself and he doesnt take others feelings into consideration before he says things, sometimes saying hurtful things. I have been dating him for 10 months now, he is 21 i am 27. So theres an age difference too. He is very critical of me too. Always telling me he doesnt agree with the way i parent, that he could do it better and and telling me in a nice way that i am lazy and stuff, which infact i have depression, which lowers my motivation. I think we are not meant for eachother but how do i know for sure

If you feel you are taking exception to his criticism, then I dont think you two will last very long unless you can sit down with him and tell him just what it is you dont like him to criticize.

I dont believe a couples are meant for each other or not. Sounds like your boyfriend is a jerk if he says things that hurt your feelings this is not a healthy relationship. Verbal abuse is the blueprint for physical abuse.

Comments on this post
tickle agrees: good answer and I do believe that verbal abuse leads to physical abuse, too.

If it feels wrong, chances are it's wrong. If he insults you, makes you feel bad, then you should find someone you can be happy with. If you have depression, it is probably making it even worse, and that isn't what you need. I would say, break it off and find someone better than this guy, because it sounds like he doesn't deserve you.

Comments on this post
sam236 agrees: thank you so much i agree its just hard to break it off, it feels like i cant live without him

If your love, overrides your common sense, and lets you be verbally abused, then you aren't in love. You just think you are, and use the love as an excuse to not stand up for yourself, and that ain't love, and is so unhealthy.

and if he loves you he is always trying to impress xx

critical isn't impressing. Putting her down is belittling her to impress his own ego.

Without looking at the relationship, I can almost immediately assume that the guy's a bit too immature for you.
