My boyfriend and I have been together a little over a year and things are pretty serious. He never skips a chance to tell me I can not raise a man my son is 6 btw. For Valentine's Day I wanted to buy him something sweet so I ending up buying a teddy bear and candy no harm in that right? Today he says you have a lot of boys in your family but no men and that's making him soft so we should get rid of it. My son loves that bear I expressed to him that I didn't see a issue with him having the bear. He will try to bring things up by saying it's not that big of a deal, but if I'm not on board with his thinking he gets upset. It turned into a argument bc any "logical" person would have take the bears back a week after giving the child the toy. We were obviously raised two different ways and instead of listening and understanding where im coming from it doesn't make sense and I'm setting my son up for failure he's already "soft". What upsets me is the fact that he mocks things I say and will giggle bc "what you said doesn't make sense" or "you're reaching". I fell as though he talks to me like a child speaking slowly , raising his voice and cursing at me. And when I express how uncomfortable that makes me he never adjust it's either deal with it or hang up. I understand our situation is different but I wanna be heard not let me listen today and drill you again about the same things in a week to see if you changed your mind.
