Grief in a relationship
Relationship Stress / by Whitneyb

...See more hello, I’m Whitney. I’m new and I’m looking for advice. Me and my boyfriend have been together for over 3 years now. We haven’t had a perfect relationship. I alone have made many mistakes but I try daily to make up for those mistakes. I love him and I would do anything in this entire world for him. He says he loves me but his actions are opposite. Most days he don’t even acknowledge me. He blames it on how he was raised. Says he didn’t grow up watching his parents be affectionate. Well anyways his mom is his world. Anyone that knows him knows that his mom is his rock and what holds him together. Well she passed away 3 days ago and our lives haven’t been the same since. He’s became so mean to me. Not physically but just screaming and breaking everything in the house and threatening me and bringing up my past mistakes and trying to fight about anything and everything. I mean literally something I done 2 years ago he’s bringing it up and yelling at me for it and I don’t understand. He’s nice to everyone else except me. I was really close to his mother and I took care of her. She was on oxygen and needed help getting around and doing things and I basically committed my life to taking care of her and I didn’t care one bit. I loved her. She was an amazing woman and always treated me like her own. I don’t understand why he’s so mad at me. I’m on his side and I’m not his enemy. He tells me every day that he hates me and he doesn’t love anything about me and tells me to stay away but a hour later he’s mad because he says I’m not there for him. I’m at a loss and I don’t know what to do. I’ve never lost a parent so I don’t know what he’s going through but my heart breaks for him and I want to be there for him but he tells me to stay away and threatens things like “if you come home I’ll break your neck”. I just don’t know what to do. I don’t know how to help him and be there for him. Seems like no matter what I say or do, I’m an idiot, I’m stupid, I’m worthless, etc. please any advice would be appreciated. I don’t want to lose him. I love him and want this relationship to work but I can only take so much..
