my boyfriend is cynical yeah that'll wear you down it's great if you want to
watch a comedian
for an hour shit on things but after a while you know you need to go get a root
beer float
myself included maybe i was depressed because i heard my act on saturday night
um hi bill so
i only know about you because my boyfriend won't stop stop talking about you
and he listens to you
almost every other day all right did i need to know that you had fucking you
don't watch anything
that i do i get it you're not a fan all right i'm here to rant and complain
about how cynical he is
getting lol it's upsetting because i've been the type of person who is
understanding
oh okay let's shit on your boyfriend and talk about how great you are and gets
excited about life
i try to cheer him up whenever he's down or try to be a lending ear when he
needs to vent oh but
if you're positive and excited about life yeah he's gonna wear you down but he
seems to have a vent and
finds a problem for almost everything no matter how much i try to be there for
him and help it's just
getting so exhausting he just turned 30 and can be so difficult to deal with
and i'm starting to think
all right okay i see where this is going because i am i was this guy and that's
right around when it
happened right around 30. um i don't know what to do because it's hard to move
forward with someone who
is constantly complaining and finds a problem with everything and seems to only
worry about himself
all right the way you describe this guy you should break up with him i
understand that life has its
struggles but he judges and rants and complains about every little thing it's
tiring to be around
and i don't know what to do because he's stubborn and difficult i try to be
patient and understanding
as best that i can to be fair he's self-aware enough to know that he can get
like this but i'm tired
i have needs to lol all right well you seem like a fucking happy cool person
with a good sense of
humor i don't know how bad this is but uh you know it's probably some sort of
childhood issue and
some right around 30 you know when you haven't found your dream job you're not
married you don't
have kids you don't you start to feel like you're getting behind the herd um
and you don't quite know what the fuck's wrong with you
because as far as my life went my 20s and 30s was all about like fucking
you know taking out my childhood on other people and lashing out at people
before you know you get
into your late 30s and you go all right well i'm still sitting in this hole
maybe it's something i'm
doing um i would just tell him just saying listen you're sucking the life out
of me and i'm young
and i'm in my prime which means if i stay with you if you continue to be like
this i'm gonna die
earlier um so why don't you fucking go into therapy try to turn that frown
upside down or uh i'm gonna
fucking leave you know because i have to i do have to tell you you can't make
somebody else happy
you can't they can meet you and be infatuated with you and go through the
initial stages of love
but then after a while you know they're going to kind of be who they are and um
you know something like that can drag you down to where they're at which i
would hate
to see that happen to you and i hope i didn't do that to anybody back when i
was like that
i'm not saying i'm 100 cured as you can tell by this podcast so um what can you
do all you can do
in a relationship is communicate to somebody what they're doing you know that
is affecting you in a
negative way you can also communicate to them you know when they're doing
something good too
ladies um but you can't fix them so i would communicate what you're saying to
me to him
see what he does with the information and if it's not working for you i would
leave
because if he's already acting like a fucking crabby old man at 80 i mean i'm
sorry at 30
what's going to happen when he's 80
