Relationship Troubles
My boyfriend is starting to get really mad at me and idk how I should speak my mind to him. We've been arguing on and off about how I act and what I don't do. It's gotten so bad to where we both don't see a future together anymore.
Most of this is my fault because my communication skills are little to nothing. But I don't want to tell him the truth because I don't want him feeling bad.
Here's the problem. He wants me to be a traditional housewife which I'm ok with but my problem is that we live with his parents and I feel really uncomfortable even just being here. His parents are really nice but I still can't stop feeling awkward.
Now our relationship is at risk when I know I can be what he wants me to be no problem. I just don't know how to tell him the truth. Plus I don't want to force him to move out when I won't be graduating until January so I won't be able to get a job until then.
It seems simpler if I just move out and finish my schooling and work so I can get my own place and then maybe we can get back together. Idk what I should do and what the best option is for us.

Hey there, hopefully you are doing well. There's a few things I would like to point out;
My boyfriend is starting to get really mad at me (This indicates he has little self control of his emotions and he is doing this on an attempt to make you do what he wants) and idk how I should speak my mind to him. (This tells me you are walking on eggshells out of fear of how he will behave) We've been arguing on and off about how I act and what I don't do. (His behavior is making you feel less than him, like what you do is not enough and then it will make you feel disconnected. He is trying to control you and make you behave in a way it pleases him, so at this point he doesn't have empathy and consideration for how you feel) It's gotten so bad to where we both don't see a future together anymore.
Most of this is my fault because my communication skills are little to nothing. (I don't think its all of your fault, its quite common to feel safe and comfortable sharing things with someone who often gets mad. You got to understand that his behavior its making you shut down out of fear of being critiziced by him) But I don't want to tell him the truth because I don't want him feeling bad. (Its sweet of you, but you are putting him first while ignoring how you feel)
Here's the problem. He wants me to be a traditional housewife which I'm ok ("Which im ok", this translate to "I'm not sure if i want to do this. I'm not feeling it, but im afraid to stand up for myself'. You shouldn't accept to be a traditional housewife because its not going to make you feel happy and then you will feel resentment towards everything) with but my problem is that we live with his parents and I feel really uncomfortable even just being here. His parents are really nice but I still can't stop feeling awkward.
Now our relationship is at risk when I know I can be what he wants me to be no problem. (A loving partner will accept your strengths, and will encourage you to grow in a kind and loving manner. Your partner is being selfish and only caring about what he wants without thinking how it affects you)I just don't know how to tell him the truth. Plus I don't want to force him to move out when I won't be graduating until January so I won't be able to get a job until then.
It seems simpler if I just move out and finish my schooling and work so I can get my own place and then maybe we can get back together. Idk what I should do and what the best option is for us. (Your partner and you need to do a lot of self-improvement. I can tell he behaves manipulative and controlling, while you let him behave this way out of fear of losing him. You are with a partner who doesn't accept you fully and wants to mold you into what he wants on order for him to feel better without showing empathy for how you feel.)
