Search Results: the point of giving up

I go over on the weekends to my boyfriends house, where his mom also lives (she doesn’t work). He rarely has groceries - eats fast food or buys ingredients to make one meal and then said meal is gone, then so is the food and the cycle repeats - so, I started bringing my own food and snacks. I often cook from scratch as well. I also want to be as little of a burden as possible.

However, my boyfriend has taken to helping himself to however much of my food/snacks he wants to the point that he often eats more than I do. I’ll have closed up something and put it away, only to turn around and he’s eating it and left it open. This happens often. I’ve tried giving pretty on-the-nose hints, such as when he does this I say “Did you open that back up after I closed it?” or when he’s eating handfuls of something at a time, I’ll say “Dude!” in a “Really?” sort of tone. Sometimes he will straight up take something I’m eating out of my hands to eat himself. He will even let his mom eat my things as well. (Last weekend, I accidentally left a big box of hot pockets over at his house and he texted me saying his mom had eaten them. When if he had just told her not to, she wouldn’t have). I don’t want to hurt his feelings, but I find this really annoying.

Thoughts? Would this be annoying to you as well? Thanks in advance!

I've been seeing this guy and we've only seen each other a couple times.. recently there was a situation that freaked him out and he was overthinking and his anxiety got the best of him.

There was a point where we almost ended things and then i asked him if he was worried or wanted me to leave and he said he wanted me to leave because it was probably best but i was not giving up and he thought about it and said we will give it another shot.. so for the past couple of days the conversation was really dry , you could tell the difference between before and after the situation.

We planned on the weekend to talk about things. He told me he feels better but he's still thinking about things. Anyways i got to thinking about things and then decided it was probably best to end things. Then he told me he felt sad about ending things and he didn't want to say goodbye, told me he missed me and thought its a good day on the weekend to talk about thingss and he was waiting for then to talk. He said there's just been a lot going on in his life at the moment and thats why he hasn't been talking as much but still wants to see me and spend time with me.

We've been talking for 3 months and seen each other a couple of times
