Today, we took an AP exam for Literature. One of the passages was about keeping in feelings in a relationship so that no one is "a burden". My boyfriend read the same passage and felt like he was a burden. I can't convince him otherwise. Thank you college board for endangering my relationship. FML

Well. I have to say that it isn't quite their fault. All the while, that sucks. It does. But just tell him some good things about himself and I'm sure he'll get all proud and he'll feel fine.

So... He's burdening you about being a burden but you don't think he's a burden but because he does it has become a burden in the relationship all the while he is burdened by feeling like he is a burden. Wow

I think you mean AP Language and Composition. I took that exam and that same passage was in it.

I can see myself feeling very worried after that. I have depression and social phobia so I already have those fears a lot. The most you can do is just reassure him that you care for him and you want him to talk with you. Over time hopefully it'll help

So, his feelings weren't a burden until he started thinking he was a burden, and then he, quite obliviously, started putting his feelings of inadequacy onto his girlfriend, thus becoming exactly what he feared. It's a terrible irony that insecure people are often self-centered.

Maybe he is and maybe you should.

Hey, I hope it all works out, but look at it this way.... He has feelings and is mindful of what a relationship means - sounds like a keeper to me

No, college didn't make him feel like a burden; he did.

Except for the whole thing of that's definitely NOT how a relationship works. A healthy relationship ALLOWS you to express your feelings without feeling like a burden. Burying feelings and not communicating are foundation blocks of an unhealthy relationship.

I know it's worded a little weirdly, but that's actually exactly what it said. "Keeping in feelings" or, basically, burying them and not letting them show.

I took this test! But it was on the AP language exam. Maybe they're similar. It was talking about talking about problems so they don't seem like they're really a huge deal and by talking to people too much about it you are putting them in a position where they have to feel bad for you. I didn't completely agree with the passage either.
