I've been trying to please him

He constantly criticizes me for things like my lack of friends, being careless, and not pursuing my master's degree

What I wish I knew
"I wish he understood that his constant criticism is affecting my self-esteem"
If I could tell you one thing
"Communicate openly with your partner about how their words are impacting you"
