speak my mind

I actually brought up some issues with my boyfriend, so yay me! I always hate making a big deal out of the little things that upset me in our relationship. But I’m beginning to realize that if I just keep things inside and don’t say what’s bothering me, it ends up hurting him even more, because I get all distant and he has no idea why. He’s always told me to just talk to him about things, and we can work them out. And I think I’m finally beginning to understand that.

A lot of the times I don’t take up issues with people because I think that they’ll think they’re really trivial, or I’ll get a really obvious answer, or they’ll get offended that I asked. But some things really bother me. Like the fact that yesterday at the mall my boyfriend and I ran into a friend from one of his college classes and he didn’t say I was his girlfriend and he hasn’t changed his facebook profile back to being in a relationship since we got back together. And today I’m going to bring those things off, because they bother me a lot, even if they are stupid. I’m allowed to have feelings and have the right to show them.
