I’ve been with my bf for six months and I’ve been noticing in the last three months that he’s always in a bad mood and finds something to complain about. Like today, we had to wait about 30 mins to be seated at a restaurant and he just got so agitated about the wait and was complaining for the rest of the night. I was so excited to finally get to go out because we don’t do it often (he’s doesn’t like to go out) and I just felt like him complaining and saying it wasn’t worth it just ruined the night.

This isn’t a one-time instance though. Something like this happens everyday. The other day, he lost two games in a row (he’s a gamer) and that ruined his mood.

The thing is, it brings down my mood too. The best way to describe it is that I’m absorbing his negative energy and it’s just exhausting. I love him, but some days I just don’t want to be around him because of this. What do I do?
