Search Results: boyfriend choices

My boyfriend and I have had this reoccurring fights about how I sometimes let the small issues get to me easily. Issues meaning little things that he does that make me upset or a little annoyed.

He believes that patience and choosing not to have small things bother you, is the right way to handle smaller issues. So about 3months ago, we decided to try it his way. See if I can handle not getting upset over small issues. But it didn't go so well and we got into a huge fight.
I think that communication is important. If one person has something that bothers the other, they should come clean about it instead of letting it build up. It's a way to better understand one another. It's a way for two people in a partnership to come together. But my boyfriend says, communicating isn't who he is, and that's not the way he wants a relationship to go...
He needs to understand what ticks me off, but he is choosing to ignore the core problem and is telling me that I have a choice of being happy with him and I have a choice of not letting the small things get to me...
We are now on a month long break. He thinks that I'm wrong about communicating and doesn't think he should change anything. He doesn't understand why I'm mad and that I am to blame for for all the fights we've had...
He wasn't always like this... He was kind and caring when we first started dating... This was also around the time he started at his new job. He has been stressed about a lot of things...

Should I keep going at this relationship and try to resolve the problems when he doesn't even want to acknowledge them... Maybe he'll come around after this month...
I honestly don't know what to do... please help...

Six months ago, my boyfriend and I broke up, and it was a difficult break up, since we both still loved each other.
But I couldn't be with him and had no choice but to end it. But in the years we were together, we both finished high school, and went through our 2 years in college together, and there was a lot of struggles for us both. He was struggling with a lot when I decided to break up with him.
It's only been six months, and I recently decided to check up on him, looking at his social media.
He got a promotion within a month of us breaking up, he has a new car, he just became an uncle and he seemed to be recently dating someone.
Everything seems to have turned around for him. And I don't even recently ran into him at my work. But after we broke up, he said he refused to go there since he'd have issues seeing me again. He said he'd have like anxiety or something.
I feel sad, depressed, and discouraged. He never seemed this happy in the 5 years we were together. He's doing so good.
How would you feel?
