what does it mean when a boyfrriend tells you"oh you tolerate me really well'.

[oliv]

From no where he just look at me and told me that.

I think that it means that he's aware of his faults and that you have a lot of patience with him. It's a compliment.

[KJ2008]

He thinks he has bad habits that you tolerate but to you are no big deal??

Haha that's kind of like when my boyfriend used to ask me, "How do you put up with my BS so well?"

[mad rabbits]

Depends on the context. Could mean he has low self esteem and doesn't think he has much to offer...he could be aware that he's pushing your boundaries and you aren't defending them...or it could be a joke/compliment. What's he like in general?

It could also be a way of saying that he suspects he might be annoying you, but isn't sure. So, instead of looking like an ass by saying "hey, what's the deal?" he instead opted to take the "safe" route. If this is so, he may be unsure whether it's just in his head or not, so he's making a lighthearted statement of it just in case.

 

In itself, this wouldn't necessarily be wrong, as long as communication between the two of you is open. At the same time, I can say that "retractable" efforts at putting relationship issues out, didn't work for me.
