so my boyfriend and i haven’t been dating for that long, but i’ve noticed that he has a tendency to criticize the things he doesn’t like when i do, and it kinda hurts. i’ve talked to him about it and he always says that because i’m his girlfriend and he sees a future with me, he wants me and him to be able to tell each other the small things we can improve on.

but i feel like i’m the only one getting criticized. i don’t like criticizing people so i don’t really comment much on what he does because i don’t think that pointing out his flaws and the. expecting him to change is helpful, and i don’t think he understands how much it hurts me when he constantly does it (almost everyday)

how can i explain it better to him that i don’t like it?
