My boyfriend and I non stop argue: Advice?

So me and bf have been together for about 4 months and hes had a job that needs him on call every other week which I only mention bc it feels that is the biggest cause of our fights. He dont sleep when he needs to and at times i admit its hard to with so many kids here. I have 3 here and he has 3 here for the summer. Since they have came it seems our fights are way more frequent and we are both ready to call it quits. He has a guy friend at work that has got so close to and seems to care about his life more than our family. Another guy from work suggests to him that he should cheat bc its so easy due to the job they do. Bf told me he would never listen to tht suggestion. Of course the first few months was puppy love and so perfect but now we are getting comfortable with each other and when things are good they are near perfect. But when theres a fight he pulls the card about how we fight everyday(we dont) and it makes the argument worse bc its a lie and i know im pushing buttons too but when its literally every argument that gets brought up how could i even start to solve it? The other one thats brought up everytime is how i forget things easily and that i supposably make it out to be his fault for the arguments but i know for fact i dont do that so its again to me a lie and i hate it. I feel like hes only using those cards bc they are the only things he can come up with. I am really really hoping someone has had a similar situation and can give me advice. I have tried doing nice things like a hug or kiss in mid argument to lessen the moment and even stepping away then comin back but those options arent happening anymore. Skipping to today we just finished an argument and he left for work with only a hug bc i couldnt kiss him when he couldnt even deny that he wants this to end. I told him if it makes him happy ill pack his stuff while hes at work since “theres always fighting and bitchin” im just over it and find the only option of fixing is doing so by packin his things. Take in mind the only thing he had to say for that is whatever and “imagine that”(smartass tone") He moved in with me from three hours away with only a car and his kids usually stay in that same town.

Personally I could never move in with someone I don’t know and move my children in with them, but each to their own. If you’re fighting this much and it’s only been “about” 4 months, I’d probably move on and cut my loses, life’s too short to bicker about petty stuff every day, especially since you already feels it happens more when his children are around.

1st problem is the quickness that you moved in together. You did not know each other so what you’re experiencing now is seeing his authentic personality. You can’t expect to know someone in 4 months and it be totally smooth sailing. That’s extremely rare and not conducive with real life. If you’re serious about him, work it out. Often relationships that happen this quickly will bring up our own unhealthy relationship coping mechanisms and insecurities rear their ugly heads when we don’t know exactly what we’re dealing with. I highly suggest talking to him about this and not Facebook.

So stop talking sh** and pack his stuff all of it and change the locks and when he gets home there it is the end

Let him go. This should be the honey moon stage. Find someone that has time for u. He’s using u to babysit his kids for the summer. Don’t do it. Let him go.

Sounds like too much going on, and you both moved in together too fast. That’s why you’re both always stressed and Arguing. Arguing every day is a good way to end up enemies in the end. Some ppl just aren’t a good match regardless of the good moments shared. When you have kids you gotta take your time and get to know the person. Your kids are going through unnecessary drama now, which could’ve been avoided. The only ppl I feel bad for, are your kids. Get your priorities straight…:100:

Moving way too fast, especially with children involved.
Communication skills and respect are lacking from both of you if you’re already bickering with each other every day, and after only 4 months.
Is he using you because his work commute is closer now?
I’d rethink this whole arrangement fast.

Well while I think 4 months was soon to move in only you know whether that was a good decision or not.

His friends in his ear is not helpful. My husband also had a friend/coworker influencing behavior that was unacceptable in a relationship. We put a stop to that immediately. Uh-huh there will be a zero disrespect to our relationship tolerance. However, fighting constantly is not normal. While communicating is great, simply throwing thing up in eachother’s faces is unhealthy. It sounds like a dead-end relationship to be honest and you should end it while things are still amicable and before more children are involved. :grimacing::grimacing:

FOUR months since you met?

FOUR months since you started dating?

How long did you know him before you let him move in with you and your children?

When you come to a disagreement, keep it on topic!! Don’t resort to things that have happened. Unless it’s a pattern. Blending families is hard. Learning another’s love language is also important.

You do what you need to do for you and your kids. Most people say 4 months is too soon to move in with someone, but i can only tell you only you know if that is true or not. My boyfriend and I were living together within two months. I can say there is the whole puppy love and the issues, I’ve been there, things have gotten better on my end though. I know this was posted anonymously but if you can pm me if you’d like. Sometimes you need someone to talk to that won’t judge you so fast.

Escape while you can. Also, please learn how to enter a relationship to guarantee the safety of your children. You literally don’t know this guy.

I can’t judge to much cause we moved into together at 5 months, but I was also pregnant with his kid and my 2 older kids wanted to live with him before we even made any efforts to do it, I didn’t just say hey we are moving like it or not. They love him and he was around for abit before we got together. I’ve been with him for 2 years and we haven’t had 1 fight yet. I’m sure we both do thing that irritates the other. But everything doesn’t need to be a fight. It’s only been 4 months and you had him move in with you and your 3 kids and he has 3 of his own. How long did you know him before getting together? And how soon after that did you move him in? 6 kids and neither of you thought it was moving to fast? If y’all are fighting this often so soon you might as well end it.

Let him go back. That’s wayyy too much drama. And also for those kids. They don’t need to be apart of all that. I feel like it would be so difficult to combine that many people together. It would be hard as hell to give everyone the attention they need and deserve. Just let it go. Move on. Find a man without kids.

I have been there have the shirt to prove it.
This is what I did and maybe it will work for you too. It’s going to sound dumb but it’s worth a try.
There is a movie called fireproof you should watch it it has a book called the love dare to go with it.
What the movie showed is the lead male was focusing more on his job and wanting a boat and x-rated stuff and the wife was chasing a male at work.
The husband got rid of his computer so he didn’t watch x rated stuff or search the web. Then he started working on keeping the house clean and so on for the both of them.
He basically went back to the basics of how he won her love.
With everything you both have to face as parents and a couple and individuals life gets hard.
Keep a daily journal to let out your feelings but try not to argue or fight with him when the kids are around, focus on being the best mom and girlfriend. When you are getting ready for the day and making breakfast for the kids make his and prep his lunch even get the kids to help you with things around the house and for him but most importantly try to never fight in front of the kids. When you see things are going that way calmly tell him let’s talk later instead of in front of the kids. Go do something with the kids and so on.
I’m not saying this is or will be easy but it’s an option. If you ever need someone to talk to please feel free to message me

He is gaslighting at 4 months in? Yea that doesn’t sound like he is ready for a long term commitment with 6 kids and all… he needs to keep a journal to keep his days straight and his lies straight… I know the dating scene is rough so if yall do work it out he will need to realize that you know you are being gaslighted and it isn’t going to work for you any longer… set boundaries and don’t let this jade you. Some people have had no healthy relationships so he may not even know how messed up he is… he needs support and a lot of work to be a decent person.

It’s been 4 months and since you guys are out the puppy love stage you’re finding out just how compatible y’all actually are. Before you moved him in did you guys even discuss how it would work with different work schedules and methods on blending two separate family units, etc.? You need to break up and legally evict him from yalls home. You could try kicking him out but legally he’s a tenant and has his rights. And look into therapy. Don’t blame your relationship issues on his kids. Blame it on the fact y’all moved way to fast and just weren’t ready.

In the vast majority of cases, the one at fault will always try to play it down, deny what they’ve done and/or claim it’s the other one at fault and that is regardless of the relationship.

You are both toxic you moved to fast in my opinion you got the kids involved and now they pay the price for your fighting I moved in wity my father daughter after 2 years we ended it cause we stopped bone fight cause my daughter meant more to me then a man get it straight your kids are more important than a man

Wow. Sounds like you guys are over it. Might be a good idea to put a stop to it and bond with your kids for the summer.

This looks exactly like a narcissist pattern from the moving WAYYYY too fast to him actually gaslighting you about how often you fight and how it’s all your fault when you do. Esp when you says “when it’s good it’s perfect” that’s probably live bombing. Just leave it only gets worse from here and in the future be wary of people who want to go so fast in relationships- it’s always a bad sign.

Y’all rushed into this relationship without even getting to know each other. The only issue I see is that you’ve barely been dating 4 months and already live together. That’s a huge mistake. He’s a grown man and can set his own sleep schedule, it’s not your job your not his mom. You knew he was on call every other week so you knew what you were getting with that. if he’s telling you that you forget a lot, start setting reminders on your phone, he obviously felling like your making it out to be his fault. That’s how your making him feel so it can’t be a lie. You both have issues and need to separate

Whoa. You wanna talk about him gaslighting you, when you gaslit him throughout your entire post as well. Sound alike YOU need to learn to take responsibility as well. If his employer requires him to be on-call every other weekend- then that is his job. Yeah, people form friendships within the workplace. Sometimes those conversations come with advice we’d take with a grain of salt. At least he communicated it to you, & didn’t hide it. If you don’t want to be responsible for his three children while he’s at work, tell him he needs to seek a sitter for his children. Sounds like you’re expecting him to be a mind reader, which he is not & neither are you. If you forget things easily (which is definitely easy to do being responsible for so many littles)- get you a notebook or a planner & write shit down. Sounds like you want him to change many aspects and behaviors of his own, without compromising yourself in the process to change any of yours.

Play stupid games win stupid prizes y’all been together for 4 months trying to blend 2 households while y’all don’t or barely know each other at all yeah your smart bright one :joy: only been together for 4 months and already living together within first month of dating you should stop this is a disaster seek Jesus because you need it :woman_facepalming:

I’ve gathered that he is only there because he doesn’t work much, and can’t support himself. He can’t come out and tell you he wants out because he NEEDS you. Best believe if he had his sh:t together, he would have been gone. Don’t let him use you sis. You were thriving before you met him, you will be just fine without him. Don’t let him guilt you. Have his things in the yard when he gets off work, and send his kids outside when you see his car pull up. Obviously, he is not going to take it well so ask a police to stake your home around that time. Don’t give him the opportunity to guilt you. Set yourself and your children free from this unnecessary toxicity now, or you will be back at square one. Hopefully, this is a lesson learned for you. You can do it.

Is the argument or bickering has gone on for a long time by blaming you he’s trying to get a reaction from you to end the argument . Men are like that most don’t like arguments so they say it’s your fault end of.why after only a very short space of time did you move in together? You have had no time to get to know each other.

First of all 4 months is still suppose to be the honey moon phase and why would you move in with someone after 4 months when you have children in your home like some kinda teenager? I swear the ppl who post on here are on something

Okay so I know everyone here is either judging or saying walk away…. I moved 3 hours away with my kids to live with my fiancé we met august 3rd and we moved middle of September… everyone I knew was telling me how I rushed it … we also got engaged December 18th and getting married the 18th of this month … yes I got a lot of hate from my side but all support from his side … we were the same way the food is amaizng and perfect like you know it’s meant to be and everything you want … we had started getting into fights and it started off small and then picked up to a lot … for us it was about drinking cause he can’t handle his liquor … and we are both very headstrong people extremely head strong … also backstory he was in prison for 7 years and hadn’t even been out for a full year … so I try to understand he’s still having to learn things that most of us already learned but he couldn’t at the time … and he has a hard time opening up so when he’s mad he says mean things with snarkieness because in prison they use everything against you … but usually he doesn’t talk to me when we fight he ignores me and and refuses to speak because he knows he’d say things he didn’t mean that would hurt me but I have to speak I want to talk things out he doesn’t he wants it to just end with out speaking so in my mind no resolving the issue… there have been times I thought maybe we wouldn’t make it and we should just end … but we finally talked about it and we both don’t want to walk away we both want to be together we are both madly in love with each other … I’ve tried the kissing the hugging the showing my Tatas lol but I’ve learned I have to try his ways too what works for him and once he’s happy (usually after bj) I’ll bring up my feelings and talk about it and that helps … he’s slowly learning lol he has apologized once he realizes he’s been an ass… so my advice isn’t to leave and end shit cause all relationships have struggles and fights… they’re not all easy … there will always be fights … question is is it worth the fight? Is he worth it? Do you stay mad at him all the time ? Even during the good? I’d try and talk to him after y’all calmed down completely don’t rush into ending it so fast … honestly it’s up to you and what you want … I know some are saying it’s narcissistic pattern … I’ve been through the abusive relationships and learned how to find red flags and to tell how someone is bad news for myself … took a lot of time … in my case with my fiancé it isn’t that it’s we are both broken and both have to learn to give and to be understanding and to realize we are both damaged … we know for us we aren’t giving up on each other no matter what … so my advice is do what’s best for you and what your heart desires … if it is an abuse toxic situation it will show later on in the relationship… and I suggest if it becomes that leave immediately… but all boils down to you … good luck and if you need a friend you can message me and add me
