My boyfriend grew up in the ghetto (no he's not black). He has a habit of shaming me over the media I enjoy, since I like cartoons and anime and stuff. He's told me that he winces over the shows I like and that he holds back "immense embarrassment" for me because back in the ghetto, everyone enjoyed mature content and cool stuff like Snoop Dog (I don't know if I'm spelling that right) by the time they were 5 or 6.

He also looks at me with disgust if I ever get upset over anything that isn't deathly serious since he saw so many dead bodies and deaths during his childhood. He's admitted to looking down on me due to my much easier childhood. "While you and other 'normal' kids were wanting Superman to save you from the monster under the bed or whatever, some of us were out there in the real world having real problems."

He makes me sad...

Break up with him

>>40161152 (OP)
Maybe it’s time to grow up a little, because he’s right. You’re infantilized and sheltered and your choice in media obviously reflects that.

ptsd boyfriend wont end well id just break up

hes too burdened by the world to live as freely as you do and if he wants to be judgmental for having a shittier childhood then hes a fool, he needs to date someone whos also been conditioned to be miserable. genuinely pathetic to be peer pressured into this line of thinking when you no longer live in such a "cold exterior or be a target" situation

Timmy tough knuckles over here

>>40161163
Why...?

It feels like he judges me over a lot of things. We started dating in 2018 when I was 19 and he was 20. I asked him to teach me how to tie my shoes because I didn't know how, and he never let go of that. "When I was five years old I was fighting for my life in the ghetto, and you're almost 20 and can't tie your shoelaces?" He randomly dug it up again a few weeks ago. I was vulnerable with him and he's still criticizing me seven years later...

You couldnt tie your shoes at 20 years old???

>>40161252
Nope...

>>40161152 (OP)
It's hard growing up in places like that (as a north philly nigga i would know), I'd try to empathize with him

hoodrats recreate the conditions of their childhood because it's all dey known
doesn't mean it's mature or good thing

>>40161152 (OP)
Your boyfriend is not as mature as he thinks

>>40161992
What do you mean...?

That's kinda lame and weak, I saw some dude get literally backstabbed with a huge knife, gangs destroying property and had a terrible childhood full of fights with other kids and overall shitty qol.

And I'm the sweetest girl ever now, even in highschool everyone thought I was rich.

>>40161152 (OP)
That is sad! This is a larp though because especially in those communities being any sorta fag is worse than worse.

>>40163628
It's not a larp...

>>40161152 (OP)
does he have a gun? does he point the gun at your head while fucking you?

>>40161152 (OP)
Someone who was actually mature would be happy you were able to have the childhood he didn't instead of trying to hold it over you for something you couldn't even control.

U not forum that life cuh

Anyways, just put some boundaries on him as ask him to cut off that shit. Don't let he be a fucking asshole for free

>>40161152 (OP)
I grew up in a similar enviroment, your boyfriend's just a cunt

try dating a white guy who isn't from the ghetto

>>40161152 (OP)
i'd say break up but he sounds dangerous
trauma =/= maturity

>>40161244
honey, he sounds like a real asshole. why are you still with this guy?

>>40162019
Same I grew up in a shit hole part of a huge city. Death violence homophobia etc. But now people see me as confident and rich somehow it's funny. I don't get pressed by minor things I guess

But the problem is I've only dated dealers and idk how to express my emotions properly

men trying to rewrite how men should act the thread hahahahahahahaha

>>40163933
>hahahahahahahaha
are you ok? you're seem kinda crazy right now

>>40161152 (OP)
>mature content and cool stuff like Snoop Dog
>mature and cool
>Snoop Dogg
how old is this guy and how old are you? nothing against snoop dogg but he's just about the last person I'd think of if I had to cite something that mature and cool people like

>>40162019
>>40163908
He told me that, due to growing up so fast, he became interested in politics at 4 and was world-weary by 5... is that how ghetto kids mature?

>>40161152 (OP)
Being mean is not tough, it's the sign of a weak man.

>>40164138
I can't tell if you're larping lmao. But politics is not something anyone I know is interested in or cares about. People lean conservative esp in terms of gender roles and masculinity etc but I don't think anyone cares to e.g. vote. Idk what world weary means but everyone is skeptical of outsiders and rich people, everything is seen as a scam someway or another.

>>40161152 (OP)
BS, those type of people love anime like DBZ

>>40161152 (OP)
