My bf hates me everytime I talk to him about his mental health

I know I am a complete a****** for saying this. But I can’t help but worry. Everytime I ask him what is wrong, he can never answer. I just ask him why can’t he drive to school tmrw. I am always hurt…by his addiction to video games…it hurts me…he’ll never call me first…it really really hurts. I wouldn’t say I’m unhappy, but I am pretty much there. It’s just I love him so so much…

Hi there. Saying this doesn’t make you a bad person, it is difficult to be in a relationship that you feel is one sided. Love is a big part of a relationship, but it is not the only part there is. You should feel as an equal and you should be happy, you do not deserve anything less than that. Perhaps try having a conversation with him (if you haven’t already) and try to weigh out if this relationship is really working for you. You don’t want to be in a relationship where you are unhappy when you can be in one where you are. If you would like to talk about this or anything else further our counselors are available 24/7/365 through our chat. Remember, it only takes a SECOND to get help.

It sounds like you're going through a tough time in your relationship, and it’s completely normal to feel worried about your boyfriend and also feel hurt by his actions. It can be frustrating when someone doesn’t open up about what they're feeling, especially when you care about them so much.

You might want to try expressing your feelings gently. Instead of asking him directly about his mental health, perhaps share how much you care and how his behavior affects you. You could say something like, “I worry about you, and it hurts me when I feel like you’re not there for me.” This way, he might be more inclined to talk.

Also, it's important to remember to take care of yourself. If his gaming addiction is affecting your relationship, it’s okay to set boundaries. You deserve to feel valued and heard too. Seeking support from friends or a therapist can also help you deal with these feelings.

You're not a bad person for being worried or upset—it's natural to want the best for someone you love! Keep trying to communicate openly and make sure you’re looking after your own feelings, too.
