Should i break up with him?

[Confused in Canada]

Me and my bf have been together for about 9 months now. Ive been debating weather or not to break up with him. These are the reasons why:

-he tends to embarrass me in public
-he voices his opinion too much(loudly)
-he thinks he has to prove how intelligent he is, he tries to act smart when he's not and assume he is right. (tries to prove others wrong)
-i debate weather or not to invite him to group get togethers
-he's loud sometimes
-i get embarassed and people look at us
There are a couple others.

but when its just me and him alone its fine. PLEASE HELP ME!! WHAT DO I DO??

The sad thing about what you've pointed out is the fact that i fall under a few of those categories. It's making me think about my own actions now when I'm out in public.

Anyways, getting back to your problem. You've already listed the cons about your relationship. What are the pros? Think about how it is for you when you're with him. Do the benefits outweigh the cost or is it vice versa? Once you discover the outcome I think you'll have a better idea of what kind of decision you'd want to make.

In addition you need to ask your self "Can I deal with this issue for ever?"

Xero nailed it. His basic personality isn't likely to change at this point.
