I am absolutely crazily in love with my boyfriend. He is everything to me and his happiness means the world to me. I would give up the world for a smile on his face. And yet I went and found an emotionally unstable one :P nah that sounds worse than it is:) when I first met him he was struggling through problems with his girlfriend, I was there for him even when she dumped him and soon after we started going out. I was hoping that was where the sad would stop, but I was wrong. He can make anything a huge deal, worries about the tiniest things waaayy too much. Last year he applied for college but because he sent his applications late, he did not get accepted anywhere in the US and instead goes to a very good university here in Turkey. He still wants to play ball and go there but has absolutely lost faith in himself. We've been dating for a long time now and he seems to want to be together with me for a very good while longer. This spring I am graduating and will (if something doesn't go terribly wrong) go to college in the US, I would love for him to follow his dreams AND be with me and get a transfer somewhere there but he does not believe he can. The simple task of having to fix the printer can be a huge stress factor for him and I'm tired of trying to be there for him and getting shot down. I don't know what to do, I want to make it all better for him. Thank you for listening to my babbles:P any advice? How do I help him? or at the very least how do I keep myself sane?

While you can be an inspiration to him and a steady rock for him, you'll never be able to change him into a more optimistic, positive, self-confident person. He has to do that on his own and when you encourage him, he may see that as you being pushy.so he reacts defensively.

To stay sane, you have to accept his personality quirks and stop trying to make him better. If you are a bright, smart and motivated person, this kind of thing will happen to you more than once. You'll see potential in people at school or work, pain in those you care about and you'll try to fix it because the solutions are so clear to you. I used to do that but now I'm like, "f*** it, waste of time". Now I just worry about making my own life better and only help the people who ask for it.

You've got some exciting shit coming up with graduation.as much as you might feel otherwise right now, there will be other guys down the road. So don't stress too much, keep your focus on your future. College guys in America are HOTTTTT!

Yes, treat us equal in every way, even if it causes us problems

No, we should get equality when we want it, but preferential treatment other times.
