URGENT How can i make my boyfriend stop getting mad all the time?

0

I’m in a relationship. I’m 15 years old and my boyfriend is 19 years old. We met on Twitter in January and we started dating since March 3rd. He lives in the US and i live in Peru, so it’s a long distance relationship. He’s the sweetest guy i’ve ever known, he cares about me, he worries about me, he loves me with all his heart he’s funny and he’s really nice, but lately he hasn’t been. We’ve been dating for 7 months and a couple days, and everything was going perfectly right, until two or three weeks ago. He started getting mad pretty much all the time, and sometimes it wouldn’t even make sense, because i don’t do anything bad and he still gets mad at me for no reason. Even though he’s been getting mad a lot this past days, he has a HUGE respect for women; he gets sad and mad when he sees guys yelling at girls or hitting them, because he thinks -and so do i- that guys that do that are just really stupid. He doesn’t yell at me hardcore, but i’m a really sensitive person, and whenever people yell or raise their voice at me, i either cry because i get scared or get really sad and feel bad with myself. These past few days he has been getting mad and rolled his eyes at me, but i can only name 2 times where he has yelled at me badly. The first one was when i got home late at night from a mall and i told him that i was gonna check on him to see how he was doing every once in a while during the night, but i didn’t, and he texted all my friends as well, but no one replied, so eventually he got really worried. When i got home and called him on skype, he was furious. The other time he got mad because of many things that happened during our skype call, but the point is that he got super super pissed and because i get scared when someone yells at me, i started shaking and crying really really bad and trust me he’s not an abusive boyfriend at all. He’s the sweetest thing on earth and he has told me so many times that even if he gets super super mad he wouldn’t hit me because he would hurt himself before he hurts me. He’s always depressed and mad at himself because he hates himself because he thinks he’s hurting me a lot. He is desperately in need of help and he cries about it because he says he doesn’t wanna hurt me and that for some reason it’s out of his control and he keeps apologizing and i just wanna help him.
I know that teenagers usually don’t know who’s gonna be the love of their life and their life-long partner but i swear i know he is the one. I love my boyfriend to death and i wanna help him more than anything.
Thank you for reading, means a lot to me :)

He needs help, you can't do anything other than encourage him to seek it. As an adult I can't encourage your relationship, he is an adult and you are a minor. With it being long distance you can't truly know if he would hit you or not. Not saying that he would want to, but he has anger issues. You can't change anyone but you can finish out your childhood and school before making such a large commitment. If he is truly the one, he will still be in 3 years when you are both consenting adults.

This is a tough thing to answer because there are a lot of things involved in the problem. But basically if he is older he should be the one that should be more mature and more calm.

Even if he isn't outright abusive, that kind of behavior isn't really okay. At minimum, you should tell him how much it upsets you and see if he tries to do better. You can support him as he tries to deal with his issues, but ultimately that's going to be on him.

Because it is a recent behavioral change, it may not be abusive, as you have suggested. My suggestion is to bring it up to him (when he is calmer) and express your unhappiness with the way he has been treating you. He may be having some problems that are causing his mood shift, and does not recognize that he is acting out. However, understand that sometimes people change like this, suddenly and permanently. If he continues to treat you in such a way, despite how nice he was before, I suggest you break it off. Best of luck!

does he have any anger issues or bipolar? He seems quite angry in himself? Something may be happening in his family or his work place that is stressing him out and he is finding it difficult to express his emotions.
