On the completion of 4yrs of relationship, my boyfriend has a perception about me that 1. I always keep on blaming him for every little thing. 2. I dont trust him. 3. I doubt him. 4. I dont give him space. 5. He will be blasted if he spoke the truth to me that he had been getting involved in his female colleagues and also friends. 6. His night will be ruined if i have checked his phone, bcuz he might be generally chatting with other gals there, but I am taking it serious., and thinking him to be flirting. 7. He stays away thinking that that would solve the issue and then there will be no fights. 8. Past words, behaviors, statements, blames and allegations are so much stuck up in his mind that he always evaluates or assumes that I will react in that way only with him. MY reality. 1. I dont blame him, I confront him only when I have the proof that he has been lying or hiding from me. 2. I do trust him. But initially he had given me a reason to distrust him, thereafter, he on a continuous basis gave me such little reasons to distrust him, and tried to convince me that he wasnt doing anything wrong. 3. b'cuz,as above 4. I do give him space. we dont live together so he has all the space he wants. And we both are working people, so we speak on call only when we get lil time off from work plus late night calls. during all day, he meets his colleagues, go out with them, spend weekends with them, weekends with families, movies and all. i dont understand what space am i not giving him? 5. that's not true at all. this insecurity again developed due to #2. 6. again for that, #2. He had been chatting previously with gals and hide from me. And for all this behavior he is never ashamed nor guilty. Rather asks me to be more open-minded. Telling me that m over thinking that he isnt involved with any gal. He is of a flirty nature. 7. whenever we have a fight, we accuse each other but never comeback again to communicate calmly. Due to this, today the situation is that he will go away for hrs n hrs, wont communicate me. no call. no msg. i feel its better to be in communication rather than giving a cold shoulder. 8. so is the case with both of us. i want to change all this, but only i am thinking and doing all the efforts. he never makes an effort to rebuild my trust. on the contrary keeps me taunting back that. "i know no mater what, u wont trust me". how do i change all of his this perceptions?

The situation is complicated here. I see that the conversations between you two are like fighting. He doesn't want to talk with you in first place to avoid the unpleasant experience. I understand you both, try to be nice to each other, at least when you have a conversation. Don't insist your opinion and try to understand him. Does he do anything to fix your attitude towards him ? I sometimes feels sorry for talking with my dad, because I get into troubles and a long quarrel. I told him about my cousin who makes money working at the scam called Binary Options. My dad was amazed and asked me to start working there too. That job is to actually convince people to lose their money in most cases. Until they get broke... I hate my dad for the last couple of days, he told me again and again that this is legal and that's life all around. I don't believe it, but, I can't listen to him, just to make him calm, I sent my resume and will try to get a job in that. I try to avoid talking to him as much as I can. He is such a stubborn and I'm the opposite exactly. Talking with him feels like a nightmare for me, I look the other way, imagine a song and just wishes the whole situation will end.

i can totally relate to you. i also some of that kinda relation wid my own dad too. he has quite a conservative approach towards life. n he tries to fix me n my brother the same way. but thats again a total different issue. u can avoid ur dad and be with ur bf, but how u be away from ur bf, even though he is more of annoying than ur dad? he hardly do anything to fix my mood after a fight. i am the one who usually initiate the talk. who call up first after a fight. even thereafter, he hardly apologizes. he will try to prove his point only true. ultimately i give up bcuz of too much of argument. i have literally stopped sharing my feelings with him.

@kinzzz This kind of communication between you two, doesn't help solving problems. It just make things worse, you don't feel like talking about the problems since, it just creates a problem. Where does all that come from ? Maybe you just have different points of view about life and you don't complete each other. People can be different in a way that they complete each other, making them perfect as a couple. Why do you have to stay with him if you don't trust him, and you quarrel when talking ?
