I’m not sure if I’m overreacting. I’m dating a guy who has been very helpful, housed me, and taken care of me. He’s respectful in terms of not seeing other women, and he loves me. But when I try to communicate about something that bothers me, he acts like I’m disturbing him—he’ll sigh deeply or even laugh as if my feelings are funny. It really hurts, and that one habit makes me feel like leaving. I like being heard and understood, but when I try to talk, he treats it like a joke.
Another thing that bothers me is that he says his mom thinks I’m too young for him (I’m seven years younger), and he makes comments about how in my village, we do “juju.” I know his mom told him that which makes me feel like I’m not good enough. What hurts me the most is the laughter when I trying to communicate, It makes me feel stupid. Sometimes I just wish I can get myself together or maybe I complain too much.
