Ok i'm 22yrs old and my boyfriend for 5 years and i just recently moved in together and we can't seem to stop

arguing?If i would've known that it was going to be like this i would've never signed the lease.It's like he gets pist for every little thing.Example: on the 4th of july we had went to his side of the family for the BBQ had a great time and all. My car isn't registered and because of that i only use it to go to work and back, i don't even use it to go out clubbing myself.i always have to find a ride. i don't like to drive my car late because it's more of a risk to get pulled over by the police. Well we left the BBQ around 9:30pm and my boyfriend was upset because we were going home.All of a sudden he says "i'm going out with my boys" with an attitude and i was fine with it. Well when i told him he couldn't use the car he got furious,like if i was trying to stop him from going out.I don't care if he goes out. I go out alone too so it ok with me.well when i made plans to go out with my friends (who r guys) from grammer school (used to be a tomboy) he got even more furious. Is that fair?

Update:

Because he didn't want me to go he started to fight with me and had gotten so pist he started to punch walls and almost knocked down our refrigerator. When he messes up and gets me mad i don't get that pist. so for little stuff like going out y does he get crazy?

    This isn;t good. Moving in with each other is a lot of responsibility and commitment and compromise that iot seems you two aren't ready for. First, your car should be registered if you have enough to shack up with your BF. Second, going out with your friends should be OK, but this jealousy stuff is a sign of trouble.

    You know what... *ack*. I'm not sure what to say first. Apparently your problem is with your boyfriend breaking the law (which you are) by using your car. I mean, your right, it's your car. Even if it was registered, he has no right to get pissy at you not wanting him to use it. He's not on the insurance (then again, there IS no insurance).

    We all appreciate your sense of responsibility in only driving to work and a few other important places with your illegal, uninsured car. Bu the fact is, if you hit someone and hurt them, they're screwed (I assume since you can't afford to get your car registered, you have no assets to seize in a lawsuit to cover damages). But I won't go on about that, since you other didn't know ( and now do) or don't care.

    I'd say your fighting because neither of you know the meaning of the word compromise. You're also probably quite a bit selfish (anyone who acts like this over the use of an illegal vehicle is selfish). In fifteen years of marriage, I've had plenty of arguments. Unless you can really listen to each other, then you won't last very long. You also need to sit down and work through what's behind each problem, because little crap will snowball all out of proportion. AND you'll have to know when to back off and calm down as well, and come back to the issue when you've both calmed down.

    And don't approach every argument like a battle with you both looking for a victory. It's a sure way to end up losing everything.

    And if you made it to the end of this, despite getting angry about what I said about the vehicle, there's some hope for you yet...at least it shows your a good enough person to listen when someone says your doing wrong, even if you don't agree. Do try to get the car registered, it's a stupid way to end up in jail and in debt. I understand how hard it is with that kind of thing, trust me!!!

    You are arguing over small things that really don't need discussion. If this is his car and he gets pulled over because he decided to take it out late, let him respond for it. It is not your fault or problem. You respect to not use it much since it is not registered, so if he wants to risk it, let him learn the lesson if he gets caught. Sometimes we will have to let our partners do things we know is wrong, but not worth the fight. Tell him have fun and be careful.

    You probably have a case of space invasion. We all need alone time for us to go back to the people we live with. Rubber band effect... You did not tell him anything new, so he got mad. If you know he knows something, then don;t remind him. It will sound exactly like you are making an excuse to stop him...

    Sounds like the dude may have an anger problem, and it is coming to light because now you're around each other all the time. It may be 5 years into the relationship, but what if that refrigerator or that wall was YOU? I was in a relationship like that before...it started with temper tantrums and throwing objects and hitting walls and doors, and then he started after me...trust me you should move far, and fast, away from this guy if he keeps it up. I know, easier said than done, but maybe you should try getting him to go to anger management therapy or something.

    Guys have trouble making a commitment. Moving in with a girl is almost like marrying a girl, a guy feels like he's stuck, he's handed away his liberty.

    You have to give him his 'space'. Especially in hanging with his guy friends, that's really important to some guys.

    Making a relationship work takes work! I'm sure you've figure that out for yourself already. 8^) But when you're living together, sharing a lot of time together, managing a household together, it's even more work.

    Dating and living together are not even remotely the same thing. Aren't you glad that you didn't marry him now? It won't get better either. Hopefully you signed only a 6 month lease. If not maybe one of you can move out and the other can get a new roommate? Same thing happened to my daughter recently. We are very glad she decided to test drive before she married him. She is very happy living by herself now. She learned though to not sign a lease with anyone, anywhere that she cannot afford the rent on her own.

    Well he just has a short temper. He likes to have alot of control and you telling him he cant use the car is taking his control away. If he was drinking at the BBQ maybe he was a little drunk and just not being himself. Its not fair for you but he likes the control and doesnt see it from your point of view. He always wants his way and maybe you have been letting him have his way for to long and he is just used to it now.

    Welcome to the Disillusionment phase of your relationship.

    When you first meet and connect with someone you have al these lovey dovey snugly feelings..it's your hormones going crazy on you trying to make the prospect ook better to you than he actually is because of biological imperitives. (Reproduction)

    Eventually, your hormones figure out that there will be no reproduction and you start seeing them as they really are, losing the enchantment sort of shocks your system and you start bickering with them. Things that used to be cute or okay with you are now annoying and fodder for picking fights.

    If you can last out the disillusionment phase, your relationship can mature into something really beautiful. If you can't, then it wasn't meant to be.

    sounds like normal stuff to me. One, you should register your car. Two you both need to sit down and come up with a way to compromise. You two aren't married yet so maybe you both need to cool down and relax. He may think things are moving fast and men don't like to move fast when it comes to relationships. Hope this helps

    Sounds like he is violent and potentally dangerous! I would talk to him and tell him that your friend are guys, he probally knew that from the start. Being gelious only causes you to look somewhere else. Maybee you should?
