I’ve been dating my boyfriend for 5 months now, and it’s been good so far. But there are some things he does that don’t sit right with me. We’re in a long distance relationship, so we facetime a lot. I’m the type of person that likes having time alone, it’s one of my favorite things to do. But he wants to be on facetime all the time, which is nice ofc, but it’s tiring sometimes too. So i only get “off days” (that’s what we call the days when we don’t facetime) once a week. And when that happens he gets moody and won’t say bye to me in a normal way. He says bye in a dry way, which makes me feel like he doesn’t respect the fact that i want alone time.

Another thing is that he likes it when i don’t wear makeup. He asks me to go a day without wearing makeup, which isn’t a big ask, but i like putting on makeup :( It has made me for confident in myself and it makes me feel beautiful. Without it, i don’t feel as powerful. He also said that i look like a 12 year old without makeup, and he likes it more when i don’t wear makeup, so that’s really weird. He also gets upset easily, if i don’t show my face when he tells me to he doesn’t show his either and he mutes himself on facetime, which makes me feel shitty because i don’t always feel comfortable showing my face. I’m insecure, and he knows but he expects me to be comfortable around him.

He also gets jealous when i play video games with my guy friends. Whenever i hop on he gets upset, telling me that “i know you have more fun playing with T and J than when you play with me” which is kinda true, only because i’ve known T and J for longer and they’re my closest friends. I think it’s funny because whenever he plays with his friends, he’s laughing and yelling and it looks like he’s having a good time. Dare i say, he looks like he’s having more fun than when he only plays with me. And that’s okay! playing with friends is so much fun, so i don’t know why he said that when he himself does the same thing.

This is a long post, i’m sorry about that😅i’ve just been wanting to put this out there because i don’t know who to talk about this with. As i type this we’re facetiming, but he’s muted and not talking to me because i didn’t want to show him my face rn :( He’s 2 years older than me and i feel like he’s more immature lmao
