Why won't he stand up for me?

Question - (21 February 2008) 2 Answers - (Newest, 21 February 2008)
A female United Kingdom age 16-17, anonymous writes:

My boyfriend and I have been together for over a year; we are very happy. I know he will be faithful to me and always be there. But, he has a major flaw : He never stands up for me. There is a nasty girl, who just has it in for me - and i have done nothing wrong to her. Yet she persists to make my life a living hell. And when i talk to my boyfriend about it, he never stands up for me. He just sits there. It's driving me insane, especially as he is now closer friends with her. I thought i came first? I love him, and i don't want to lose him. But i'm just getting hurt. What can i do?

Dazzerg agony auntI would go with Annalisa pretty much. It sounds to me like he simply does not want to be involved in your conflict with his friend but to me the bottom line is an honest assesment of who stands where...if you have done nothing to deserve this treatment then you are right to expect his support and you are not out of line to expect that he should at least put some pressure on his friend to treat you better. If he wont then you need to consider if he really is right for you...good luck

Annalisa agony auntTell him you need his support! I would say he isn't brave enough, but if he's friends with her too, he doesn't see her as that bad. Maybe he doesn't know how to react, but you're so young still, if he can't look after the interest of the girl he's supposed to love, he's better lost than found! Leave him, if he cares he'll chase you back!

Good luck!
