2 year relationship

Courtney

Okay so my boyfriend and I have been dating for 2 years. We met online and that was the majority of the relationship. About 7-8 months in person. I moved across states to get an apartment with him, got a new job, etc.

So for the past 4 months we’ve been fighting constantly. All over stupid shit. It used to be that I was always in the mood but he didn’t want to do anything, now it’s he’s in the mood and I don’t want to do anything. Lately I’ve been having these doubts of the relationship. Whenever he yells at me (ever have a boyfriend rage at video games? That kind of yelling) its like I don’t want to continue this relationship anymore and how could I be with someone who treats me like that? But I also see that other sweet side of him and I’m like how can I break it to him? We’ve been together for 2 years and I want to give up? I want something different? And it breaks my heart because I love this boy but I feel so alone. I do everything around the apartment such as cleaning, laundry, cooking. I even pay the majority of the bills. He’s 20 next year and doesn’t have his permit, won’t look for a new job because this one doesn’t give him enough hours. And he says he’s done everything for me (move out of his parents house, move into an apartment with me) and it’s just not fair because it’s not equal. I do so much more. I’m applying for college in California this fall and I cant see him coming with me at all. I don’t know what to do. I think I need some space but I don’t know how to tell him to his face. I think he needs to go back and stay a few nights (days) with his family and I need to figure out what I want. I know I won’t decide what I want in the days he’s gone but I can’t see myself with him in my future. But I can’t see myself without him either.
