...See more (Sorry this is long, I got ahead of myself) My partner and I have been dating for over 2 years now. We've both been very happy and have been enjoying our time as a couple instead of just friends. However, in the past few months, I've realized that I always feel inferior after talking with them. I realized that whenever we are talking about theatre (which we are both involved in, I do the backstage side and they do more of the actor side) they try to undermine me whenever I'm talking. They dabbled in the backstage area, so they know general things, but no matter what we are talking about, they act as if they are the only person who is knowledgeable at all about the backstage crew, even though I'm right next to them. I got a job at the theatre, and they have to tell me that they were offered that position a year before I got the job. And it's not just theatre either. It feels like no matter what we discuss, whether it's science, history, or rumors they will try their hardest to correct me. Even if I'm working on an art or writing piece, it seems like they can point out a million things I'm doing wrong, all the while making no effort to actually help me. I've spoken with mutual friends of ours about this, and they've agreed that my boyfriend tends to do this often. I've considered ending it, but I feel awful for potentially throwing away a perfectly good relationship for just one small problem. I haven't brought this up to him yet, I'm afraid that it might just cause more problems. What should I do? TLDR: I constantly feel like my boyfriend of 2 years is constantly criticizing me and not listening to me. This has gone on for a couple of months, and I'm not sure what to do at this point. What should I do?
