My (25F) boyfriend (28M) and I have been together for about 6 months, and things have been great overall. Recently, though, when he gets upset, he says things that seem intended to hurt me. It feels like he intentionally picks at things he thinks will get under my skin.
I’ve started to feel anxious about when the next comment will come, and it’s affecting me emotionally. I’m not sure how to address this with him.
Fighting about it or complaining about it is not the right tacit. When you are both in a position to have a serious discussion ask him if he loves you and only wants the best for you. Presuming he says yes, then tell him that you also love him and want the best for him. Then say we are both hurting each other over trivial bullshit when either of us are pissed about something and take it out on each other. I understand if you are having a bad day, but I didn’t cause it and actually want to make it better for you
