Am I Meant to be Happy? - Comments

He's trying to make you feel bad because you aren't catering to his needs. It's his kid, shouldn't he be the one to take her to the bus? Like damn why do you have to be the one to play a mother role when you're not the kid's mother, y'know? You get that apartment, and a job and whatever else you need but put yourself first because putting your boy first is just gonna make you miserable in the long run ~ (Learned this from experience and goddamn does it kill you slowly from the inside out)

I agree with what maddi said. I mean dont get me wrong, he does sound like a great guy overall but it seems like he's stressed out and he's taking it out on you and not considering your feelings. From what you've said in response to maddi, it sounds like you guys are working things out now which is good but overall, dont let what he does or doesn't do in the case of what you said in this blog bother you. It always takes extra effort to find an equal balance in a relationship and both parties, or all the parties involved, have to work together to everything work and to find that balance. i sound like i'm just spouting random stuff so i'll just shush now. I'm here if you ever need to talk, Brit.

@ PoeticMess.
Thank you for the advice. i appreciate it. We talked and i think things are better now.

It sounds like your boyfriend is only out for himself. Don't let selfish people bring you down. You have to take care of yourself first. If he can't take care of his own kids and get them to school, then he needs to figure something else out.

And as for the title of this blog - I don't think we're guaranteed the right to be happy, or even "meant" to be happy. There's no cosmic force out there that picks and chooses which of us get to live easy and those who don't. Sometimes it's just harder for some people (especially when you're surrounded by shitty people), so you do what you need to do to be happy and secure.

If that means getting rid of him, then do it. Because it's not worth keeping people around who only make things worse. Your boyfriend sounds inherently self-involved and so don't let that type of personality and rudeness interfere with what you're doing. You're doing good and that's what matters. If he's not there to support you, then you don't need him.
