Hi! I don't know if relationship trouble falls under this category, but as I live abroad and my boyfriend is my only family around, I felt it made sense. 

I am at a point where I cry way too often and I want to scream into a pillow every time an argument pops out which is pretty often. My boyfriend is lately very rude to me, and will reply irritated even if I am just asking how he is. I do my best to be independent and to spend time away from him as much as possible, but he is still irritated every time I ask him for the minimum in the house. Yesterday it turned out, that he doesn't like that I don't have a good relationship with his brother (who doesn't like me ), so it is my fault that he doesn't like me and that makes him angry..... I am not saying I am perfect but I have done my best to change the things he dislikes about me, but I am not magical, so I can't really make his brother like me... It makes me unbelievably frustrated, and I don't know what else to do at this point...
