Search Results: tougher than my boyfriend

So I purchased my condo around a year ago & worked with realtor around my age. She’s maybe a few months older than me, she’s friendly and good at what she does. I shared a few personal things with her, fears when it came to buying my place. She follows me on IG and used to check in during the holidays. She shared a few things with my mom and I, when she worked with me during the buying process, she mentioned she was still renting. Also mentioned that she went through a few tough times personally and how her finances were affected in the process. Mind you, I see her IG and FB, she seems pretty comfortable. During these “financial issues”, she’s been traveling all around the country. Goes on nice vacations and has a lot of friends, mentioned that before she bought a duplex earlier this year, she and her boyfriend rented an apt. The apt was like 2k a month, yes, I get having help with the rent helps but that’s a lot for a person with financial issues. In less than a year from when I bought my place is when she bought her duplex. I’m not hating, I’m just saying, I don’t buy her “struggles” story.

I think she was sharing that story to come across as more relatable & possibly humble. We are the minority (she’s white) but yeah am I just jaded?

My boyfriend and I have been dating for almost 2 years now, and its definitely been a roller coaster. However, we had met in college and I just recently graduated so he's basically there by himself most of the time because his other close friends have graduated as well. Anyway though, he has been having a tough time with school and the friends I have (only male ones). I have discussed his issue about my male friends with him and he keeps making excuses on why I should not hang out with them or even see them in general. I was going to meet up with a good guy friend from grade school and he even told his mom about it, and both messaged me saying it was "not a good idea, it's not safe." He a very dramatic person in general.

Anyway though, he has been having issues with namely one male friend which we will call Bill. They both haven't met each other yet and Bill does talk negatively about my boyfriend sometimes out of either jealously/spite, or in a joking way. My boyfriend gets upset when I don't stand up for him during those situations but Bill is known to be a jokester, and I don't even realize what was said until afterwards most of the time. Today, Bill had to help me move things out of my mom's house and my boyfriend got upset that he was there even though he was not available to help me to begin with since he is in school. I have told my boyfriend to come on and help, but he never gave me a definite date. He has been upset the whole day after Bill came. He also said that he was stressing out over school which is going to be over in less than a month, and I tried to reassure him that it'll be alright but he still was sad claiming he was tired. I am honestly not sure on what to do or if I'm being a good girlfriend because I have tried to help him in situations like these in the past including that whole male friend thing as well with Bill coming. What do you think i should do?

Hi everyone. My boyfriend (ex now) & I were dating for 7 years & on Monday of this week he decided to break up w/ me. We have been in a tough spot for about 3 in a half weeks however we’ve still continued to work things through together. Sometime beginning of last week we got into a bit of an argument & my cousin (she lives w/ me) overheard some of the argument & I guess in a way to come to my “defense” she said to my boyfriend “I hope you get coronavirus & die”. A few moments passed he called me to express how her saying that made him feel & he said that he’s now uncomfortable being w/ me because of what she said to him. He continued to say that “if she can say that about me what will she say about my family”. Of course him saying he’s now uncomfortable being w/ me didn’t sit well w/ me however I apologized to him on her behalf & said to him that what she said was wrong & I would never wish that. He said that it’s not my fault & there’s nothing I should be sorry for and after that I asked him if he really felt uncomfortable being with me and he said yes. He hasn’t spoken to me for about 3 days and I texted him and said he needs to give me some answers on how we can move forward. He said that what my cousin said aggravated him, he doesn’t want to be bothered by me, and he’d rather remove himself from the “situation” and he broke up with me. We’ve been together for 7 years & I just can’t believe he would throw it all away because of that. I respect his feelings and understand that what my cousin said he didn’t like but to break up with me for it? To hurt me for it? I don't know. I would never break up w/ him over something like that simply because I wouldn’t necessarily let someone who has absolutely nothing to do w/ our relationship influence my decision to stay/leave. I thought our love, our bond, was stronger than that especially considering everything we’ve been through. I am so heartbroken. Am I wrong for thinking his decision to break up with me is ridiculous?
