My boyfriend and I met on a dating site. We hit it off, and after a month of dating, we moved in with each other. Things were great – the sex, communication, everything.

He is 10 years older then I am and was taught that women do everything in the house, on top of working. I don’t mind that at all, but when no one else helps, sometimes it take a toll on a person.

Anyway, after about a year, things went south. He always points out my mistakes, and when I mention this to him, he says I just like starting fights and love the drama. When I do something wrong, I listen to what he has to say, but when he does something wrong and I mention it, he huffs and puffs, walks away, and will ignore me for a few days. He’s always promising to try harder, but each time it seems to be worse.

No, we don’t have kids together. He has a young son who spends 80 percent of his day with me. I have two teenage daughters, but my boyfriend doesn’t have the patience for the teenage drama, and he gets upset.

I feel like I’m being used. We’ve been together now for more than three years. He is the first man I have truly loved, and I don’t think he realizes that after being told. When it comes to making plans with each other, he never comes through. He works extra-long shifts seven days a week. I don’t expect him to take me out or buy me things, I just want his time.

I ended up leaving him for two months. Moved out all of my stuff and everything. I didn’t contact him one time. He always contacted me and promised to change. So I moved back in, and the problems started again after two months. I have been through so much in the past two months. I’ve tried to talk to him about what’s going on in my life, and he pushes me away. I’m about ready to give up completely. I just don’t know what to do.
