I feel like I'm being treated badly..

Only sometimes though, like when his friends are around. My friends tell me that he should act the same when he's with me and when he's with his friends. And I've been told that he's just a typical guy when he pleads that he's not. I get called names like bit** and wh*re when he's with he's friends, but when he's just around me and nobody else he holds my hand and kisses my cheek. I don't know what to do. Should I tell him to smarten up and treat me like he should around his friends, or should I just accept the fact that he's a guy, and all guys do that?.. I'm really tired of it.

Any suggestions or comments? Please?

I think your friends are right. Well he probably won't ever act the exact same way around his friends that he does when the two of you are alone, but he should still respect you. Calling you names like that is wrong and he shouldn't do it, ever, no matter who else you both are around. I think you should tell him to smarten up, you deserve to be treated a lot better then that. Everyone does, and I'm sure if he won't there is a guy that will treat you better then that.

Thanks Heather, I'm just really scared that he won't want to change. I've never been able to stand up for myself and now I actually can. Lately I've been telling him that he should treat me better, and he kind of says that he's treating me fine. Sometimes I think that it's all in my head, but others I think that what's happening isn't good. I'm going to have another talk with him and try and not let my guard down.

Tell him to buck up his ideas or you'll leave him. That is really cruel calling you those names infront of his friends and very degrading. Don't let him do it! Guys do act different around their friends but there is no way he should be treating you like that.

You have to tell him that it's hurting your feelings and you loose your love for him when he does that. Tell him that he doesnt have to kiss your cheek when hes with his friends but tell him it'd be nice if he could hold your hand while he's with his friends.

To be honest, I think hes immature and a jerk. Sorry.

Don't be sorry, I respect everything you guys are saying. I should have a talk with him and tell him what I'm feeling. Thanks guys. I wasn't sure if I should keep it in or let it all out. Now I know what to do
