advice needed
i have had some traumatizing things happen to me in the past. my boyfriend thinks im lying about these things. even though he wants to believe me he’s having a hard time with it and can’t accept these things. it’s caused many arguments through our relationship. i don’t know what to do or how to fix it, the stuff i went through is hard for me too and he wants to believe me but can’t and every argument comes back to the same stuff.

Hello, and welcome to 7 Cups!
I believe the good things happen if you start to realise your experiences - even if they are bad ones... Understanding the trauma can make healing from them getting closer.
However, I am afraid your boyfriend is not a professional, and is emotionally very close to you, what can make things harder. Do you have someone to whom you could talk about what happened to you, like a school psychologist or a therapist?
I am sorry you have to be going through that. I think finding some professional help for you would be important - to help you and to not overload your relationship with a problem which might be too large for you two to solve it without assistance.
Welcome!
