my boyfriend and i seem to argue about everything lately. we've been dating for over 2 and a half years and live together as of the beginning of April. i don't know why, but my boyfriend seems as if he's being so careless about everything. everything can be described as "my feelings"

for the past month he doesn't seem the same. he seems more "strict" (i think from stress of work), and just straightforward/"get it done". maybe because he's very busy and overwhelmed with work, i don't know

recently i have been not the same either. i have been feeling depressed about a lot of things. i won't say what they are because they are kind of personal. my boyfriend knows about them yet he doesn't really seem to care about them

ok, maybe i'll mention two of them so there's examples of what i mean. one reason i am partially depressed is because one of my friends who i am really close with got into a vehicle collision. they are still in the hospital from 4 days ago and don't look that good from it. I'm stressed cuz i don't want them to be dead or majourly injured

the second reason I'm partially not the same is cuz school has been very stressful to the point that i actually have started crying because it's so overwhelming. my boyfriend came home, seen me crying, asked why I'm crying, i told him why, and he replied with "oh... well uhm, thats bad i guess..." then just left the room

when my boyfriend sees i was upset, he asks why. i tell him why, and he says something that seems to make me feel worse rather than better. he usually would always feel "sympathetic" or at least be supportive when id just be at my worst

i know that doesn't seem like much of a big deal, but i really don't know how to word it to make sense from my perspective. but even when i leave my binder out from university, he gets so ticked off about that whereas before, he usually would just move it himself. if i don't, I don't know, do something right when he asks, he kinda gets on my case about it whereas, again, he usually never would

A 14-year-old boy will be labeled as a sex offender for life after being arrested for having sex with his 12-year-old girlfriend — a “really sick” possibility, according to his family.

The unidentified seventh-grader has been charged with aggravated sexual assault of a child in Texas’ Harris County, despite a law that exempts some teens from being classified as sex offenders for having consensual sex with someone within three years of their age.

For instance, the so-called “Romeo and Juliet” law allows a 17-year-old to legally have sex with a 14-year-old. But that rule doesn’t apply if one of the parties is under 14 years of age, the Houston Chronicle reports.

“He had consensual sex with his little girlfriend and he loved her,” the teen’s mother told the newspaper. “And because he turned 14, they want to make him a sex offender, put him on the registry with pedophiles and child molesters — really sick and dangerous people.”

The boy’s lawyer said his client wouldn’t be facing charges and the possibility of registering as a sex offender had the teens been the same age, and he would be seen as the victim under the letter of the law if the other person was 18 or older.

“It defeats the whole purpose of the Romeo and Juliet defense where you have two people relatively close in age and maturity,” said the boy’s lawyer, Joseph Gutheinz. “You would think the law would be more sympathetic as you go younger, because both parties are immature.”

Attorneys in Texas said charges filed in connection to a consensual sexual relationship between minors aren’t rare in Harris County.

“I had that exact fact pattern that I fought for a year,” said Jackie Stewart Gravois, an attorney for the Harris County Public Defender’s Office. “They ended up dismissing it because, ultimately, everyone agreed it was a consensual act.”

Prosecutors in that case were assured there was no violence or threat of force between the students, who were also in junior high at the time, Gravois said.
