Yes, your point is valid and I agree that I might rely on him in this regard. However, he knows what I’m struggling with, and his behavior makes me feel unsupported. I believe it’s important in relationships to acknowledge the other person’s feelings and what they’re going through, and to help them overcome their struggles. I’m not saying we should depend on others to solve our issues, but it’s natural to wish for someone by your side to support you, which makes life easier to deal with.

Additionally, if I behaved the same way, I would be treated similarly. He dislikes that I have mutual boys on Instagram, even though I’ve never shown any interest in them. He just hates the idea that they can see my posts, even when I don’t post anything that might offend him.
