The blatant stubbornness is mind blowing
I know this post is going to sound mean & people are probably going to say I need to break up with him. Trust me, I’ve thought about it, but then I feel like I’m overreacting. It’s his stubbornness & irresponsibility that is triggering me. For example, our dog ran out of food yesterday so he fed her a shit ton of bread in the morning knowing she has a severe stomach sensitivity. Sure enough it gave her diarrhea & he saw her having diarrhea plus we had a whole conversation about it so he knows. Then I bought some dog food while he was at work & this morning I guess he didn’t see the bag & I caught him about to feed her a shit ton of bread again. And I ask him why he would give her something that clearly made her sick and he said it’s better than nothing right? I said “no, it’s not. It’s not ok to give an animal, or anyone for that matter, something they are allergic to or something that makes them sick.” Which he replied “like I said it’s better than nothing right?” And I explained again why he’s wrong & he got irritated & reluctantly agreed & apologized. And another example, we get food stamps & he spends his on an energy drink & a bag of chips at the gas station like 3-4 times a week which costs about $6-7. Sometimes he gets me something which makes it $15-20 even though I tell him I don’t want anything because I don’t agree with spending food stamps that way. I explained to him how doing that is going to make him run out of food stamps for actual groceries, I even did the math & showed him. He said they’re his food stamps & he’ll spend them how he wants & he also said he would rather spend food stamps on this bullshit than his own cash because it adds up & I said ”exactly, so if you use up your food stamps before they refill again, guess what you’ll have to spend your own cash on? Groceries & trust me that groceries are way more expensive than those little snacks & drinks you get” He got irritated with me about that too & again reluctantly agreed & said he’d try to do better. Are these reasons to break up with someone? I do love him & care about him & he treats me well & helps with bills, contributes to the household etc. His mind set on a lot of things just frustrates me.
Tl;dr boyfriend is stubborn & irresponsible but means well. I’m frustrated & wondering if these are reasons to break up with someone.
