Frustrated!!!!!

AHHHH.... So I have been dating this guy for 8 months now. Of course in the beginning, everything was so wonderful. "Honeymoon Stage". But recently, we have been arguing, a lot. It has gotten out of control. Since I haven't had such good relationships in the past, my first response is we need to break up. I don't even want to deal with the issues because I want to save myself from serious heartbreak. But I think that is making things worse.

One major issue is we are both very stubborn. I think I should have been a lawyer... It's my way or the highway! Our stubborness is making fights worse because neither one of us wants to be the one to say "sorry" or "I will change that". We don't seem to want to adapt to eachother.

I keep thinking about how I am his first serious relationship. How much does that play in to what we are experiencing? In relationship maturity, he is just a baby. Should I give him some leway because of this? Sometimes it feels like he is just clueless when it comes to dealing with girls!!!!

In the end, he really is such a great guy. He is smart, funny, tall-dark and handsome! However, I don't know how much more I can put up with. Though it is not all his fault (I can be difficult) I think his maturity holds us back, and he is unwilling to adapt to me.

On the bright side, all these experiences shape us into better people. Learning from each relationship is invaluable, and instead of being down about it, we should really consider what each experience has given us to move forward with.
