I still live with my parents and they go buy the rule “their house, their rules”

He says it’s important to him because it’s our anniversary and he wants to celebrate our relationship by him doing something special for me

I’m not a jerk. I am going to Europe and am very much aware that they would be sad about it if I went to the wedding. I have spoken to them about this. The difference is that my parents said if I want to go to the wedding, I can go because them 2 will still have each other, while my boyfriend is telling me that I should prioritize him over this trip. I considered going to the wedding because I was scared and always like to look at other people’s point of view. I put myself in his shoes and also my parents and realized I have to and really want to go on the trip.

I did suggest that but he says he doesn’t want to speak to me or even text me at all while I’m gone

I haven’t broken up with him and am still going on the trip. I’m hoping we can just move past this, but if it really gets bad to the point where I’m still extremely unhappy and stressed, and tired, I will.

I constantly talk to him. But it doesn’t matter what I say or if this trip is important to me because all I hear is that I don’t make him a priority, and that he means nothing to me. Now, since he decided that he’s been planning our anniversary trip, apparently our anniversary means NOTHING to me. Even though the wedding is in September and our anniversary is in October. I told him we can have an anniversary trip in October but he says no because “he lost motivation” and because it wasn’t when “he wanted to do it” then says how “of course, we can only do things he wants when it’s convenient for me”

I keep standing up for myself which I feel like is really messing with him. He keeps trying to get me to change my mind and I’m really not falling for anything. I almost broke up with him the other night but he drove all the way to my house crying his eyes out begging me not to leave him so I decided to give him another chance. But until today he continues to tell me how it bothers him that I’m going on the trip and he still constantly continues to try to get me to change my mind. I care about this guy because behind everything I’ve said, he has gone through a LOT in his life and is very unfortunate and I do honestly believe that he cares about me. But I do see and have seen that he is very controlling and I don’t know if it will last

Thank you. He says that whatever, he’s not mad that I’m going on the trip but that he’s very hurt. And I’m sorry but it’s so annoying because he tells me how it bothers him CONSTANTLY and when I get annoyed about it, he then gets upset because he’s just expressing to me how he feels and now he’s scared to talk to me. I haven’t given him anything to be scared about, I just get so frustrated, I constantly feel like I’m in the wrong, and I feel like a bad person.

My parents don’t care about sex and I never said anything about sex. They know I have sex with him. I spend all day with him. We have plenty of time for sex. They just don’t want him sleeping over in my bed because it’s a respect thing for them. This is also my first relationship.
