My boyfriend [19M] does little things to inconvenience me [19F] am I being dramatic?
My partner \[19M\] and I \[19F\] are in a very sweet and caring relationship. We have been dating for almost a year. I haven’t dated a lot but he is my second real boyfriend. I love him a lot. He tries his best to deal with my avoidant tendencies and the fact that I have a hard time expressing my feelings. I genuinely think he is good for me in certain ways. BUT, he does a ton a tiny things that kind of bug me and I don’t know if I’m being dramatic or if I’m valid.
Examples:
He thinks it is funny to push one of my side view car mirrors in sometimes. Often I wont know it’s pushed in and I’ll drive on the freeway without a mirror on accident.
Whenever I am driving us he always changes my music to what he wants and I find it a little disheartening.
He will throw tiny things at my face. (like receipts, wadded up paper, small trash, or clothes) He isn’t malicious but it bugs me a bit.
He also farts on me which I have explicitly told him I hate. (I know this sounds pretty funny but it bugs me)
I think I’m just realizing that he kind of inconveniences me and I’m not sure if what I’m feeling is overly dramatic or if I should be more vocal than I already have. I just feel like sometimes he makes my life harder. But also I know relationships aren’t always gonna make your life easier. I guess I’m not sure how to navigate this.
