Be good to yourself; cuz your ‘boyfriend’ sure isn’t

Hi, Carolyn: I have been with my boyfriend for a year now but lately I feel like he is losing interest in me and the relationship. He’s making unnecessary rude comments and belittling me.

He also is constantly commenting about other girls and wanting to be with them. I know it’s natural for people to look, but he does it a lot and he knows it bothers me. When I try to tell him to not make the comments, he laughs and says he’s joking and that I get offended too easily or I’m too sensitive.

I’ll admit I’m not the most confident person and I may be taking some of his comments to heart, but it makes me feel like I’m not good enough or that he no longer wants to be in the relationship. He also makes comments about my appearance or the way I dress.
