oldfool agony auntEr... I think it's well known that one of the great romantic lines is: "Don't change a thing. I love you just the way you are".

I don't think that: "You can be yourself when ever you want. Just don't be yourself around me. Just don't do things that you know pisses me off," is quite up there.

I would get rid of him.

I'm not sure what pisses him off, but you too probably have a communication problem. I found it hard to read your post and I'm not sure what the heck is going on. Ask your boyfriend about any problems he has in the relationship, tell him how you feel. Learn to talk rather than argue and get to the bottom of the problems you both have.

sorry i ment to put 3 years not 3 months!!! all that i know i do to piss him off is try all the time for sex even if hes tired or not and it always seem that i keep him up that way when all he wants to do is sleep. besides that i dont know of anything else that i do to piss him off i know i like to talk and the only time that we have to talk is at night and that might be what is pissing him off. because once again i keep him awake. thank you all that has gave me advice so far.

What do you do that pisses him off?

I know you don't want to piss him off so I would like to know what it is that he thinks you do to do that.

But you need to be yourself no matter who you are with so that you can be happy. You cannot live a lie.You should be able to be yourself and make him happy at the same time.
