a girl
I am in a wonderful relationship with my boyfriend who is also my best friend. I am 20 and he is 23. We are excellent with each other and its a gr8 relationship. But there is something about him that bothers me.. that is his high temper. He tends to get angry very easily and in his anger he is very rude and harsh (never abusive though and never ever hurts me physically) but extremely hurting by his words and its almost as if he is blinded by his anger at that time, nothing can calm him down, none of my efforts nor my tears... its after few hours when he is left alone, he cools down and then thigns are fine again. He gets really upset even over very minor things and then we have a very huge argument everytime. Which is disturbing for me and our relation becuase this happens often. I find it difficult to not hurt him as he gets angry so easily and then its a high temper! Ive spoken abt this to him many times later, he understand thats its his weakness, and tried to fight it, but something that has always been in him, is very difficult to get rid off. for me this is getting disturbing, i am by nautre a far more calm person so its even more tough to handle these regular arguments and his high temper, its not fair to make me go through this all the time, though am with him even during his weakness ofcourse,but how much can i endure, and we will spend a lifetime with each other ( we have decided to get married in few years) and this thing can create a big problem for us. How should i handle this? change him or make myself immune to his anger? we are otherwise a perfect couple in everyway..am blessed to have him..he is truly the best guy i could have ever got! and am more than sure that i want to be with him. I dont want any prob in our relaiton. Please advice me mam.. waiting for your answer.

I am a 20 yr old girl in final yr. I am dating my best friend from past 2 yrs. He is 4 yrs elder to me and still pursuing his studies. He has suffered from serious anxiety in the past and taken help from a psychiatrist. He isnt in the best of his health and is suffering from Intestinal Bowel Syndrome (IBS) since 10 yrs. He gets a lot of mood swings. He always tries to make me feel inferior of him. He is a sikh and he is really proud of that and thinks that being a guy and coming from a sikh family he is not entitled to listen to anyone. He has a serious ego problem. He gets really insecure and doubtful with me at times. And doesnt let me socialize much . If i do he tells me i am cheating on him and dont hold a good character. He tends to get physically and verbally abusive. I am getting really depressed and feel very burdened. I am not able to concentrate on anything. He is always criticising me and i have begun to lose my self confidence. I really love him and even if i try to let him go. He will call me again and show that he is really hurt and apologises and i fall weak. Its difficult for me to let him go . I dont know what to do ! Please help !
