I've been with my boyfriend for seven months now, but my frequent problem is

my stubbornness. I feel so selfish because I always have to have my way, or

sometimes I don't want to admit that I'm sorry. The whole problem is my pride.

If I love him, why is it getting in the way. He's still on AIM. I can't even say

anything. Sorry if this sounds immature and completely off. What can I do to help

get over myself? :C The answer seems obvious but hard to do.

Yea "Pride" sometimes kills a relationship especially when both parties want to keep "face". Happens so much when ur in like high school colleges, cause both parties don't want to come together and discuss or give way to each other - hence short lived... However when you get older i really don't get the point cause i mean ur both adults.....just reconcil....

[Ching Ching]

Pride isn't his problem. I think he doesn't want to say anything to me because
he doesn't want to bother me, and most likely he's hurting right now. Eh, I feel
so bad for letting all this grow from something so small.

you need to decide which is more important to you. your bf or your pride. in the long run, it is you that have to live with the consequences of whatever decision you make.

I second that.

To be honest, I used to be like you and I quarreled with this girl @_@
And we didnt talk for 2 weeks and she had the 'pride' thing too.

but in the end everything still turned out ok and she forgot about whatever happened.
although i didnt really apologize formally, i just said 'lets be friends' kiddingly.

what's pride compared to your relationship.
let it go.. for once, or you might regret for life.

I guess you're afraid to show that you are weak.
It's okay to be weak once in a while because you need to save your relationship from something that's not important to fight over about.
If you going to lose him I'm sure your pride will drop from there.

Just say hi to him like it never happened and see how it goes from there

[ShadowMax76]

x_X' i guess another way is for you to tell him that your pride is more important than him.
and see if he is understanding enough to accept it,
and perhaps ask you back to do at least do something to show you're sorry, if you can't say it verbally.

i agree. i mean, i know pride is always going to be going there
in a relationship. but if pride is going to slowly kill your relationship with him, wouldnt it be better
if you two go seperate ways?

[Ching Ching]

It's not as easy as it sounds. Some of you are just like oh you choose pride over
him easily. Might as well break up. Something like that. But maybe we're doing
fine, even though there are bumps like these in the road. Because it's not like we've
yelled at each other over anything. I think over time, I'll just get over being like this.

pride can make a person lonely. take it one step at a time and have him help you along the way.

[abductedalchemist]

that was me. think about how he feels, because i didn't and my ex dumped me.
just giving you a heads up

I agree wholeheartedly, although...it was too late before I knew it. In the end, I threw away my pride but all for naught.

[blueskiezgurl]

dun take offense ok, but i think u need to be more mature about it, if u really want things to work out between u two, u need to know wen to admit when it is ur fault, and when its time to be the one to give in, love is not about who's right or wrong(more powerful) its about compromising..just dun let ur pride takeover

[Mannosuke]

Post pix and we'll criticize you until you get over yourself.

[kerpao]

omg that used to be me (sometimes it still happens) but i learned how to love and how not everything goes my way. suck it up, don't be spoiled and say sorry.

hey gurl!!

hey gurl!! i got the same prob too..
its really hard to change especially when you're used to it

[HaplessChild]

That doesn't sound like pride, it sounds like a tantrum.

[iloveapple]

i think that you should try shedding your pride and telling him sorry when things happen.
it will be a nice change! just say it out of the blue when he least expects it!
i know that pride over riding love sucks...
because my pride is my biggest problem too in my not so relationshippy relationship... if that even made any sense xDDDD

[Regina Rae]

I feel your pain. My pride has ruined many good relationships.

[woei]

pride kills relationships....same goes to me..
my pride is making me lonely....
