our age difference isn't by much, but i guess our lifestyles are. I'm still studying, and he's already done studying and got a really good job and lives on his own. even tho we love each other i think our age difference is causing some arguments. in arguments he's been saying that im still kid and i wouldn't understand his adult stresses or the stuff he has to deal with. I guess also at times, i dont understand how busy he really is also and that makes him mad

Sometimes, even though i know its the last thing he ever intends to do, it makes me feel bad about myself, when he says i'm not an adult or that i dont act like one. I thought i was mature, so im just so confused on what he means, and I also wonder if this relationship will work at this time, if he views me as a kid and not an adult

Also, he calls me a teen a lot jokingly, and in the past he's told me he hate teens and thinks theyre annoying... I don't know what teen traits are, but i also think maybe i annoy him at times.

What does he mean? and what can i do to compromise and make things work
