I recently was talking to my friend.
I knew she was inlove with her boyfriend, and was shocked to find out she decided to end it with him.
Here is the problem. He occassionaly gets derpressed and tells her the only thing that makes him happy is her.
She told him he shouldnt depend on her to be happy he should be happy already.
He cant handle conflicts.
He is always thinking negative.
If things dont go his way, and it could be the simplest things like fixing the antenna on the t.v. or trying to access wireless internet he gets mad and start cussing.
She said the negative attitude and the unability to handle simple conflicts is really a turn off.
She said the other day he started yelling at her like a 3 year old screaming at the top of his lungs.
She told him she dont need to be treated like that.
She said she ended it.
She said she dont have drama and bring negative attitudes in her house.
The biggest turn off to her is he has his grown daughter acting the same way.
She didnt want to reach behind her to reach for the seat belt and she started cussing. She cant get the wireless internet on she starts cussing.
She said even tho she loves him, Its not her job to make sure he is happy.
Happiness comes from within inside yourself.

If you aren't happy with yourself - neither will other people. It sort of boills down to a confidence level. And there is nothing moe attractive inho than someone with a quiet confidence in them.

Well, there's the problem.......do you know how frustrating it is to have wireless internet and watch TV with antenna reception!

I have experience with the whole "you are the only thing that makes me happy" kind of guy. While it was flattering when I was young to hear a guy say that I soon learned it was exhausting and totally not worth the effort. While I was spending all my time making him happy, nobody was making ME happy. Never again.

Your friend is wise to leave this relationship. This man is very needy and it will only get worse.

I was with, and married someone like that. Its almost like raising someone elses kid, and trying to get them out of the temper tantrum stage. If your not happy with yourself, no one else can truly make you happy.

Yah, this hits HOME. That was my dear ex wife: Depending on someone (me) to "make" her happy. No such thing. Yet, whatever I did for her 24/7/365....it was just never enough. I told her she was too dependent on me and she needed to exert some independence and confidence - of course she threw a fit. Several times. The biggest one was when she got served! (papers that is).
