We’ve been dating for almost 6 months but friends for about a year and a half. We fought maybe about every 2 weeks when we were friends but it seems like things have escalated and now we fight almost every day.

I’m not talking about simple disagreements with my boyfriend, rather, I always seem to do something wrong and he gets angry over them. I say sorry multiple times, tell him I understand why he would get upset, and whatnot but it’s never enough.

A regular couple might fight until someone says sorry, but I always say sorry as soon as I feel him getting upset but the fights drag out about day – usually about small things- until he starts to feel better.

I’m always feeling like I walk on eggshells around him because I don’t want to start another argument. I just don’t feel like myself anymore because I’ve sacrificed so much of my social life and parts of how I am to avoid arguments but somehow we still fight everyday.

But I guess my question is, should I let this relationship go or keep trying? Any advice would be great also.

In a nutshell, yes. It is time for you to break up with him.

The reasons why are:

1. You shouldn’t be in a relationship where the fighting escalates and becomes chronic. Fighting regularly for a year and a half isn’t a good sign that you’re in a healthy situation.

2. You shouldn’t have to sacrifice yourself for the sake of keeping the peace — especially when it’s not working!

Look for a man with whom you don’t fight. And look at your part in the fights and see if there are places where you can take responsibility and make changes.

I hope that helps. You would benefit from reading Think & Date Like A Man, that you can buy here: [url]https://www.askapril.com/relationship-dating-advice/think-and-date-like-a-man.html[/url].
