Okay it became a longer answer than I expected! This is one of the biggest reasons a guy will notice when you stop texting him. I finally thought things were getting so much better for both of us. Its been since then that the dating pattern of our relationship has declined significantly. He understood, admitted he takes me fore granted and he would try harder. Maybe if you dont hear from him send him a positive text that you are thinking of him but let him come to you. I used to be patient but recently Ive been having anger issues and he knows how to handle my mood accordingly. This is literally me. we were back in the honeymoon stage for a few months and then he slowly started resenting me. He is mechanical and can fix many things. See why its so important for you to know your boyfriend and know yourself before deciding what to do when he doesnt make an effort? I tried to get my best friend to take me (I cant drive) to his sisters baby shower so i could see him but i found out she no longer was friends with him and she hated that we were dating and regretted getting us together. The last few years have been tough. He was a nice guy, we text back and Press J to jump to the feed. Im lucky if I get a phone call from him. 1. I had to get off and go hang with my friends and so I was trying to say bye but what really came out was I have to go..I love you..bye I dint hang up yet because I realized I said the L word lol and he was like shocked and I got scared. I love him very much, he often talks about our future, kids and stuff but he isnt willing to do any sacrifices for the relationship. I cut out all those smiley-faced emoticons he avoided and texted one-word answers sometimes, just like he would. He doesnt do the things he used to do. And because Ive been depressed lately makes it that Im not much to look at, so why would he want to take me out now. He said he was my family and I took that wholeheartedly. Communication is not good. Again, thank you Sumiah and to the other ladies in this blog who support each other. If anything is like now hes got this new job hes checked out and wants a new life. I dont know, I hope someone out there can relate or help with how I feel. Its comforting knowing others face the same issues. No boyfriend in the world can fill the emptiness that only God can fill. I honestly think we have a future together, but Im not his priority right now and I wonder if the possible future is worth fighting for. Thats it. what is the project you have to work on together . And mind you the beginning of relationship we always traveled and did things together. I thought after he quit his job he would have no excuse, but now he just puts even more time into video games. I sacrifice so much for him & he doesnt even show it. She saw me with his hat and questioned me and i told her i got it from my best friend and she knew i was lying but didnt care. Especially since he cant even deliver the bare minimum in this relationship. Instead of wishing things were different, practice accepting the fact that you cant change your boyfriend or make him want to spend time with you. We dont barely talk to each other. When we first started dating I personally felt like he put so much effort into me and the relationship. we recently got back together after a break up. He dismisses your emotions. This yr it was Quarantine and so he always wanted to have his own anime character and I made it after puting so much efforts. We both have made developments and decided to let go of our bad past. Thats the one thing that i really expect. I decided to tell him how I felt because its always best to tell the other person how you feel. I discussed all these issues with him 2 days before. he straight up ignored and didnt read them.) He would become distant and i would feel left alone and hurt by it. But hes not different. All you can do is give him space to love you the way he wants. Stay fabulous sis!? He may not be the person for you. I tell him how much it hurts when he says certain things and that there is ZERO excuse for intentionally hurting someone we love. its been 10 days now and he havent ask me out, during these 10 days when he says i miss you or i say i miss, he would ask me to meet at his place for couple of hours (again at the spare of the moment). Im hoping this isnt becoming a pattern. I dont understand why he wouldnt make you diner when you took out all the ingredients.

Hello, Thank you for creating this platform. Because of the pandemic he doesnt have work and hes enjoying being with his family so hes not in any self chaos mode. my ex best friend told him everything and ever since then its been a nightmare. I trust him but I just wish he would give me more time. Im still not brave enough to leave him though he was my first long term and Ive had the best time of my life with him. The only thing I get from him are words. We have amazing communication, we text all day everyday, see each other at least 1-2 days a week, we dont argue much, our sex life is greatMaybe its just because this is my only problem that it feels like a big deal? I thinking breaking up with him is definitely a stretch, but Im tired of begging my boyfriend for some reasonable attention. I used to blame myself but I took DBT and have actually tried employing the skills I learned. I feel like Im the only one putting any effort for us to spend time together. I saw him once more and he taught me my first trick. im going through the same thing my boyfriend will not text me nor will he call me when i text him again he reply and said his mother getting on his nerve he goes to her house to take care of her he said he been going through alot with his mom very upset but my thing is what about me where do i fit into your life i dont even know if were still in a relationship my daughter say dont text or call him we been together over a year hes 52 im 55 what should i do im lost, Ive been dating my boyfriend for about a year and a half now. Ive been with my bf for almost two years and my biggest issue is the alcoholIve been told its not a problem and that he does love me.any suggestions. to think I was already 32 years old still got fooled by a man. My issue lately is, he will tell me he will come to my house on Saturday after work, then later he will call and say he has to go get his dogs and pick them up. Thats the way to get a I dont care, because Im awesome kind of attitude. The day before yesterday he texted me saying hes been feeling unwell and didnt get much sleep. I was so happy I found him. Ive been in same situation. Take matters into your own hands.be who you need for yourself, Love you and your son enough to care for your own needs. I think I should do alot of listening when we get back to talk again. Sometimes I felt that he was mad at me, he would say that I was a show off or that I always took things too seriously. I feel its all one sided. I set the bar really, really low. Lately he seem a bit distant,he will pick my calls and reply my messages when he is in a meeting,now he complains that it upsets him a bit when i text him when he is in a meeting.. Hey babe! If his texts arent super time-sensitive, then its okay to He should be making an effort to see u, call u , and text you throughout the day. But it hasnt. But he feels that I would have a better chance getting a job were he lives then him getting a Job where I live but thats not the point. I hate to say it maybe he did something he wasnt so suppose to and felt guilty leading him to end things. Last week he finally invited me over to his house after not seeing him for almost two weeks when he had his daughter. However, if my boyfriend was gaming with another girl I would have broken up with him. I have been noticing that he is lacking some qualities that I need in a mate. Its so hard due to his work ,he still trying his best to see me at least thats what he told me. 1 Assess the situation. I double-majored in physics and mathematics and was sooooo constantly busy and very emotionally abused at the time in my relationship. thats about it. When he isnt at work he shuts himself in the bedroom and plays games whilst I deal with the kids. We havent had sex on a Saturday in about a year. He has never been one to open up about problems he has with himself or our relationship. And then when they do not respect those boundaries, I have a decision to make. It is just hurtful to know that he could not even think of doing this one thing for me. But theres other strange things he does, when we go on dates that require conversation like coffee or dinner, or drives, he doesnt start any conversations. I stayed because I felt that I deserved to hear those things, I was being enlightened about what others saw in me but were just too polite to say to me. This all happended 1 1/2yrs back.. From that day on, several times we discussed this. We dont stay up on call anymore, and last night we were on call for forty minutes and thats only because I begged him; however, the whole time, not a single conversation came out of it. He was very affectionate and gentle towards me and would make it a point to call me every day, the first maybe 2-3 months of our relationship. Living togeter or having sex before marriage is not accepted in my family and i also iddnt want to do that. But things went roughed to both of us.. How can he be so sure of that and not even care to nurture our relationship? You are worth it. I COOK,CLEAN , KIDSAND I WORK. He said I did agree to go to the park this weekend. Just stop allowing that guy to keep thrusting a dagger in your heart. When he just cuts me off or just blindly follows what his mum says which is most of the time unreasonable it just makes me feel like he doesnt care too much about me, like he isnt willing to fight for me. We have complete separate paths in store and we have absolutely nothing in common and we also live together but we barely see each other so you would think that when we do have time for one another he would enjoy the time he has with me but it doesnt feel like that. He just had to show up with his stuff. I decided I deserve to be treated with love and respect. Its always laying on the couch watching TV. hes never romantic, never takes me anywhere spontaneously it just goes on.

I stay with him but he doesnt make any effort in helping in the house financially and his not willing to look for a job. SHE STILL HAD HER HARNOUS ON HER. We have been talking for almost a month. He has not made me do any of this. I really love him and he is my first. No, I was this woman a few times in my life and it isnt seeing a place i sakd id never go to again. He cant see his daughter now because his crazy ex wife wont let him. These are no games. So I honestly dont understand. Well today came and guess who backed out of the park?? but he refuses to communicate, refuses to try and he does this thing where he grasps for straws so that he can point the finger of blame on me. I have huge expectations but Ive accepted that hes not the guy that throw big surprises and continue to fear that the more I lower my expectations, the more he thinks im willing to settle for less even after his military is over. COMPROMISE but just be sure its not all on your side. He has recently been stressed about getting into grad school and got denied for his first two school.
