Codependency Support Group
Codependency is defined as someone who exhibits too much, and often inappropriate, caring for another person's struggles. A codependent person may try to change, or feel shame about their most private thoughts and feelings if they conflict with the other person's struggles. If you are on a journey towards self-love, this support group is for you. Join us and find others...
Sorry, that sounds like quite an unpleasant evening. What your instinct tells you at the gut level is usually the truth. Your instinct is telling you that this is not normal behavior, and I would go with that.
Hugs,

You simply have to understand the "fraternity of brothers". A brotherhood bond is different than a boyfriend-girlfriend bond.
He didn't have to disrespect you, though, by making the condescending, belittling comment "the MEN are talking", as though men are superior. Tell him THAT's what he said that bothered you. He came off like an ass.
Well, then the "aura" needs to be addressed, I suppose.
Takes us back to that "man love", that "brotherhood", that "dude code", that "fraternity of brothers" thing I was talking about. It's sometimes a stronger bond than male-female love.
his family knows him better than u do. They tell you to leave him. golly gee, what do they half to do, conk you on top of head to get light to come on. Bar people, bar raised familys are in thier own class. color red comes to mind.
every state, every communiy has state funded mental health center.
go get healthy.lift your ego & self respect.
he is a boy in man body that hasn't had men training. he's a bar baby.
get healthy, raise your level - what you will & won't accept.
there are men who are worthy.
Been in a similar situation You know instinctively what to do, just listen to your heart. One thing I can back up is that you deserve way much more respect than that outburst from your boyfriend. Remember only you can make a change in yourself and apply it to your life. Ask yourself in private and with quiet contemplation, what will our relationship be like if we both decide to settle down together? Am I happy with the current way hes treating me?...
Take care of yourself
