What do I do to be a better girlfriend?

You won't really ever "win" him if you don't make him respect you. If you apologize for everything, and he never does, it's not a relationship of equals. You not only lose his respect, you're also losing respect for yourself when you don't stand up for your values. Just try standing up for yourself -- if he doesn't like it, he's just a control freak and you will NOT be happy with him in the long run. If you earn his respect, you might just become the "better girlfriend" you're hoping to be. You don't have to put up with trash to keep a guy.

it might sound harsh but it sounds like your stuck up his ***.

and a reminder: thats NOT a good thing.

if you keep acting like nothing is wrong nothing will ever happen.he might not even know hes hurting you..which would be pretty stupid on his part.

you know there are millions of guys in this world, and you can share a better bond with anyone of em.

but if you really think this guy is for you and your willing to settle for that then you need to stand up for yourself and let him know when your pissed or hurt. this doesnt mean he will change though ..do not count on it..

it would be best for you to find someone that you dont have to work to make appreciate you.that should happen automatically.

Uh, you don't need to be a better girlfriend, he just sucks as a boyfriend. Just sit down and talk to him and if he doesn't comply, dump him cause in the long run you'll probably end up being real miserable. Don't wast your time on those type of guys.

Dump him, move on. He's not going through a phase, he's a bonifide ***
