Relationship problems

I'm having some problems with my boyfriend, and I'm just feeling really depressed. I like him a lot, but I don't feel like we have a lot in common, and I just can't see our relationship going on long term. I just hate breaking up with people. It's just miserable. I don't know what I am going to do. I've been feeling absolutely horrible lately. I've been picking fights with him a lot, and then I always end up apologizing because I feel badly for doing something so childish. I mostly just wanted to vent, but any advice is welcome. I'm so sick of guys sometimes.

I just noticed this in your profile.

topics to ask me for advice on
depression, golden retrievers

You will more than likely meet 10 people in your lifetime you could marry. That doesn't mean you should. A lot in common with your boyfriend? Neither did we butttttt. Take a deep breath, and think before you speak. We all deserve respect even when we are andry with each other.

Hi,

I was told once that in order for new and better things to come into your life you need to get rid of the old. This is probably not what you want to hear but you have to look at what YOU want. The best way is to put it on paper. Write down what you don't want out of a relationship and then write what you do want. If this relation is depressing you maybe it is not the best one for you. Sometimes we tend to cling to things or people we think we need when in reality we are just afraid to move on. Be brave and write down a few things and see what happens. Good luck!

Thanks for the advice - I think it is a really good idea to make a list like you suggested. I never even thought of that, and I think that it would really help me. Thanks so much!
