He drinks constantly. We met online and in a long distance relationship and we have not met in person. He lost his dad, my nana nearly died and now needs constant care then her partner died and now this lockdown. But since last year, he stopped doing that. Actually they havnt shared any sexual pictures or that was not very sexual conversation. But he tells me that he wants to get married even im being a total b*tch. Surprising me with letters, giving me flowers and just little things like opening the door for me. We continue dating but not once did he ever bring up talking about all that he mentioned. Like hes not gonna change. WebiStock. hes always busy at work. And I get it, hes never been through the same things but I expect that. Or also he went out and was feeling confused about the relationship where he didnt come home therefore he ended things in the morning after having a long night prob thinking about it. I was told by my therapist that I could be the one to plan the date myself and ask him out and even though I completely agree with her on that, I cant help feel now that if I were to do that and ask him on a date that he will think that he doesnt ever have to put in the effort of planning something, anything, and that if he waits long enough I will plan it for us so he doesnt have to. He told me the other day if you dont like the way I am, then leave me. All he does is playing fucking video games all day and night. I would go on my off days when I wasnt in collehe classes or work. But he appriciate my participation in some kind of sexul things. My boyfriend and I both 21 have been dating for almost 3 years and for almost 2 years he has been serving the military back home with only weekends to spare and while I am in Canada studying for almost a year. Then, all of the sudden the bottom drops out and he is unresponsive. In order for your partner to communicate, share ideas, and feel close to you, you must reciprocate their attention; a healthy relationship isn't a one-way street. But I feel as though he does not see the page that I am on, is there any way I can do that without it being an argument? Anyway not sure what to do either but it helps to know Im not the only one. Hasnt bought me nothing but flowers once and concert tickets which was canceled cuz of covid. One thing I have learnt over the years is that we shouldnt let our kindness be a weakness in front of men. I am an emotional person and I tend to cry. It has still been difficult for me since we spent so much time together. he nvr plan for any dates, nvr rlly want to try anything new w me. Just know youre not the only one feelings this Im not sure what is going on because I confront him about it and he says he just hasnt been on his phone. He had had so much time to think about and plan for any of the above and a week before our anniversary had started lamenting how the holidays are too close together and it is hard to think of any good gifts, so he did nothing. He did say that we wont be able to talk as much cause theyve got people over and he did apologise before hand but I really cant stand him disappearing during our lil catch-up session to play games,without telling me. Hi. What do you think? Things have been bad for a while. Were both in high school now. If this doesnt work for you if he disrespects, ignores, or even abuses you then you need to decide what to do. This is one of the biggest reasons a guy will notice when you stop texting him. we recently got back together after a break up. He Finds Your Attention Diverted. But loves to act as if what Im saying isnt logical. Letting Go of Someone You Loveis filled with comforting, practical ways to heal your heart. So I stopped doing that and now treat him like just a friend. After a few nights of him treating me bad, he noticed that I was about to leave him so stopped drinking when we would go out because he didnt want to be aggressive with me anymore. No present. As stated above, knowing what your boyfriend is going through (ex trauma, personal grief, work load) is important and all, but also knowing how you would act if you were in a similar situation gives you answers and peace. Did your boyfriend stop making an effort because hes distracted or stressed about something else in his life? My boyfriend and I have been dating about 5 months weve known each other for quite a while in the 1st couple months was wonderful we talked a lot did stuff together laugh together he started working more and didnt have as much time is energy but I noticed that hes working obsessive until he absolute collapses he makes no time for me he keeps saying I cant wait till we have time again when I get these jobs done but nothing is an emergency hes not strapped financially he doesnt have to complete these things as fast as he does I go to his house and sleep a lot of nights with him thats kind of all were doing anymore were not even having sex but if I dont sleep over he calls me and text me I miss you so much I love you so much but he wont actually put in any effort to do anything with me Im so confused about about it Ive lowered my expectations again and again and hes just been just disconnected just not really even present Its like he knows he has me and he can just put me on a shelf until he feels like paying attention to me again and its not enough for me but I love him I know he loves me I dont know why he doesnt get it that this relationship is gonna die if he doesnt keep starving it. Im dating my bf for a year and a half and we have had many calm as well as heated conversations about our relationship on our priority list. My 30th birthday was two days ago. But theres one time where I got really mad and told him what i feel about everything and he said he was sorry and he tell me how much he loves me. But he would rather break up than try to understand what makes me happy and make an effort. Especially if you have a SON!! My boyfriend and I have been together for 3 years now.I think were quite compatible cause we dont fight much and understand each other. I suppose I could explain all this to him when he asks if I am upset with him because I am not replying so quickly, but I am nervous about making things weird between us on the project. His complaint is that no matter what he does is never enough and that I dont contribution anything. Yet there it is, still on since god knows when he took her out. feels as though what they say doesn't matter (and they've stopped talking altogether), then look within. He sent a text yesterday telling me,he is still with me and will always be with me,he loves me and needs me,but he is still a bit distant! But he still makes no effort in even recognizing relationship milestones like anniversaries, but he has done romantic things for the girl he chased for 6 years. Ive tried to initiate intimacy and have been rejected because hes tired. so I do have to take that into account, and when his parents go away for the summer its wayyyy easier to spend more time with him, he becomes so laid back. And when we actually spent time together we always just went for a walk couple times a week or we met to have sex, we never did anything else. Its just hard because he watches my son while Im at work and my sons dad is working out of town for a month on and a week off. So I like to know what hes doing or who hes with for peace of mind. He sense my seriousness and took me out on a date, told me he will make more time to spend with me once a week (Im busy too so once a week is good for me.) He always used to put his friends before me, lied to me, involved in gangs and drugs. LEAVE HIM. Next day he texted me telling me I looked cute etc. I dont always have it my way though because hes dealing with personal problems that have stretched for months. There may be more social pressure on men to be the ones who go after women, but hes got feelings too. But he says that I am the person he wants to build a family with and take care of our children someday. Leaving a person you love is one of the hardest things to do. Be like, Hey, Im going to the beach or the zoo tomorrow and I was also gonna do this other thing. Now he wont go anywhere with me he wont touch me in front of anyone we dont do anything and he refuses to do anything fun the only thing we do is work he dont go to the kids is events or anything but it is X need something hell drop everything And do it. I am not happy in this relationship at all. If hes not at work, hes in his reclyner n thats where he stays n doesnt get up unless he has to pee. He told me he loved me within weeks of us meeting. The three emotions you suggested we wrote down mine were: Last on the priorities, unloved, lonely/lost. The difference in mine is that he does apologies very often but never changesand I cant keep up anymore, I am simply not happy and not sure what do to do with that, I even doubting myself If I am not the one who is the wrong person. I felt neglected and like he stopped trying in our relationship. You need to recognize that youre settling for less than you deserve. his excuse of not having quality time? I stayed in that relationship. We fight a lot almost every week because my needs are not met. and drags me with this idea too. I am actually tearing up as I type those words, he actually said that to me. Here we are stuck in the same pattern, he is hot and heavy in our relationship one month, then goes cold out of nowhere. But whatever. I understand exactly where youre coming from. He says I cant accept him for who he is because he had been this way all his life, but I tried to explain that its taking a toll on me. Ask yourself what could be causing your boyfriend to pull away from you. I met my boyfriend at work. When your message doesnt have a question mark in it, he might not realize that youre waiting for a reply. I recently just been promoted to a great job.. My fiance, my 12 year old son, and i have been living together a second time(in his house). Youre worth someone who is your equal. He never plans to visit me unless I ask him when hes coming, like he doesnt do anything unless I nag him, and I dont want to be a nagging person so I thought its best we go separate ways and see if we can work it out. LOVE IS AWESOME BUT GUESS WHAT HERE I AM 8 YEARS LATER AND HE STILL DOESNT CLEAN , STILL DRINKS. Not to mention, our second date was going to look at a puppy he was looking at after meeting my dog. I dont deserve this. Does your boyfriend still care? He ignores me for a week and then talks to me like he rlly loves me and nothing happened. He keeps doing this and now he is ignoring me again and idk whats going onhe was couch hopping but hes back at his sisters now and he wont answer my emails. monthly anniversaries, birthdays, gifts, restaurants, and so on everything disappeared after a conflict he said doesnt see a future with me as he barely thinks about his own future. We go no where, we do nothing. He has free accommodation, food, gas, sexy times, meals cooked, washing done etc. Tonight was my last straw.. The way he acted after you said you need a romantic date, even if you said it while in tears or upset, is absolutely unacceptable. Not material things, but being romantic on special occasions. Wow girl as Im reading this I cant believe I didnt write it lol. Wow I can relate so much to this. Hes too shy to talk to you directly. I know that probably sounds silly but his replies are shorter and he doesnt joke around with me like he used to do. I trust him but I just wish he would give me more time. Youll learn how to respond when your boyfriend stops texting you. Its been since then that the dating pattern of our relationship has declined significantly. Because i often say this to him when i get angry. She threatened to send my bf to jail idk how tho. time and time again i have told him why i was upset, what he could do to make the situation better and everything in between, yet he still does nothing. And then the other half of me cant help but feel like perhaps he just doesnt want to go on a date with me at all and thats why he never made an effort. Why should women do all the work no they shouldnt it should be a mutual thing. Its up and down. I take it very personally and feel disrespected by this, alone, that he has such little respect for my comfort or opinion of him he just doesnt bother but he will shower and shave and brush his hair even to go get a haircut. His temper and his childish attitude and how he has to be right all the time. He has always been lazy and wants to spend his day relaxing on his days off. That should be enough. My boyfriend has told me that multiple times and yet we are in the same place months later. i know i should understand his busy schedule. We only see each other every one or two weeks at the most. He replied: about what? And acts like a concerned boyfriend if I dont immediately respond. Although I told him busy isnt excuse but he never changed his reasons, every time when I want wend the relationship, he replies straight away and tell me he dream about me, desire me etc. okay so how i try to avoid causing a scene over tht is i would comeover to his place, thts the only place he would be fine because if i ask him to meet me at my area or anywhr else he wouldnt want to. He never seems to try, you know. His self-absorbtion is engrained and chronic- and not my issue to fix. You are going to find happiness. Im the beginning, it was easy. I feel like my boyfriend of 5 years doesnt really care anymore. I randomly always try to put efforts in the relationship but get nothing in return. But all I want from him is a simple hug. You need to rest your hopes, dreams and future on a love that never fails, a river that never runs dry. He works constantly and Im a stay at home dog mom (Recently weve been wanting kids). He just doesnt understand why. I know its a tough pill to swallow, but in time you will heal. to think I was already 32 years old still got fooled by a man. we are a college couple of 2.5 years now. I envisioned a life time ahead of feeling let down by this person. Do I deserve this? Needless to say, I do not want to get married, to see if that will make a difference. The day before yesterday he texted me saying hes been feeling unwell and didnt get much sleep. Weve been through a lot. For the first year or two with him, I never had any problems with needing reassurance and words of affirmation from him because he always did it so well. He just doesnt make an effort to ask me to do things. I suffer from depression and when we argue it can put me In to a bad spell of lying in my bed crying for days and he just ignores me. Me and my boyfriend are reaching our 2 year anniversary and I dont know how I feel anymore, hes changed. Should I stay? Anyways, he has told me before that he plans to make me his girlfriend, we have great conversations, hes very flirty but the problem is he doesnt text me often or try to call or set up a date. Were both divorced. I thought that would be an isolated incident but it happened again this weekend. It shouldnt have bothered me except the fact he didnt get me one. Still didnt have my phone but my bf wanted to see me. Whats the point of working hard if you wont let yourself play hard? I feel so let down all the time when I really am not asking for much. All I think of him is selfish & inconsiderate of everyones feelings but his own. I say I never give advice, but this is one thing I want you to know: you have to build a life outside your relationship with your boyfriend. Its easy for him to say he crashed at a friends, but let him get over the guilt or offers an explanation before he comes back. I have no family and feel really lonely. I know this might sound silly compared to all of yours. Everything I say he interprets as me hating him. Easier said than done, I know, but you wont regret it. He didnt get me anything. I have brough up some of the issues and he acts clueless and doesnt know what to do. I have no idea what this is all about, but the roller coaster needs to stop, its too hard for me to deal with. I dont want a father figure, i want a man that i love to show love to me. He said he loved me but that he was not happy with me and that it has been a long time since he began feeling this way. I already had plans and I put a hold on being too available. Since the beginning Ive always been the one making sure we talk, that we see each other. We are doing thanksgiving together. So that irritates me as I scramble to get everything I need to get done before he gets there so I can spend time with him instead of homework or dishes or laundry. ! And then what we talked about was not set in stone and that things change. The life situations just put our relationship to the side. But even after reminding him of that, nothing happen. That said, he told me hes doing a lot better now and hes still acting distant. At this point we fight so much and afterwards Im always the one to try to settle things because he just cant comprehend what he said really hurts. Me and my partner have been together 5 years. We have been talking for almost a month. September came around. This might not apply to all guys. You see, now when you decide to leave him, its not because you dont love him, but its because you love yourself and respect yourself far more than you love him. I have been dealing with a lot lately. Hello Crystal, I am very interested in what you have said, do you mind to give more details please? (Probably why she fell in love with another man) now its like he is determined for me to not become selfish. Its really hard, but Im trying. But I guess it just shows how people handle stress. However his texts are friendly, never intimate or flirty. I even asked around to see if anyone knew what happened and no one did. He also spends all is money on one of purchases like 600 pound shoes and then moans to borrow money while I foot the bill for car expenses etc.I feel like the only time he cuddles me is when he wants sex and if I have an excuse he immediately pulls away. Maybe hes too heavy into the party, drugs, and alcohol scene. my bf and i are long distance. I hate to say it maybe he did something he wasnt so suppose to and felt guilty leading him to end things. I had to call him! Lately, it feels like we fight all the time. Nothing cleaned up, ingredients still on the counter, and not one thing made for me to eat.. and even better, after letting me in the door, not a how was work. He begged and begged for me to forgive him, that it was mistake. Since Ive moved in with him Ive noticed a big change in things. I mean, the love we have for them would still be there. I am very fortunate to be free from that. It sucks not feeling secure but really if its meant to be it will be. For the past few months I noticed he stopped making effort. Normally he kept our video call within 15 minutes, and he will keep quiet for a week after the call, but last one was lasted over half an hour and he went into silent for a few weeks after that. The same month, I started my PhD program but I still made the time to see him. For the past few weeks we only have time in night to chat since hes busy for work but he always talk about sex and video chat with me to see my pussy and whenever I rejected him I dont get a reply or he would say hed go to sleep. Then quarantine hit. Of all the relationships you have, I was the best one, I did everything for you and this is how you pay me back. When we girls become super loyal and keep pouring all the love in the world into our boyfriends life, they often take us for granted and makes barely any effort in the relationship to make us happy let alone pursue. That same night, he stopped replying and was offline cause they had some family time and it seems his granny got ahold of all the electrical gadgets to make them sleep early.He told me the next day and we did catch up.I thought we were going back on track until he,again,stopped replying at some point. We talk on the phone usually three times a day. Am so confused I dont rilly know what to do . I am always will to do anything however since I love notice it was only me doing it Ive been reluctant. But I feel like its a symptom of that reoccuring issue of ours where he just doesnt put effort in to connect. yes, I did reply. He told me about his situation and how his mother is a single mom and he has to take care of his younger siblings. He Is Bored. This is the only problem in our relationship, the lack of effort. The first year was good, with what I call sparks! He is very sporadic with hugs and holding hands. Personally, I feel rejected when he doesnt make an effort.. I have started noticing lots of cracks in our relationship which have eventually led to me feeling unloved, invisible, not a priority and lonely. He was telling me about his plan for tomorrow and I asked about when we are supposed to go out, he acted annoyed and commented I knew you would be worried about that really? You wouldnt be HERE if you thought your gut was wrong. Heres what to do: write down the three strongest emotions you feel about your boyfriends lack of effort in your relationship. He starts fights or creates conflict for no reason then blames me. He wont think through things for different perspective. He never posts about me. I love him but Im not fully happy with all this lazy effort ?. Im 22 & hes 25 , why arent we fucking like rabbits? Of course you want him to make an effort to wine and dine you; his time, effort, and energy shows he cares about you. Hes now working at a new job since Jan and its great! Although he did not tell me this beforehand, we have been trying to work on these issues and improve our relationship. Once I asked him for a selfie and he said no because he thought I only did it to prove something to people. I buy him presents, I shower him with so much love. Hi I have been in relation with my boyfriend for 3 months now. And now he hasnt talked to me in almost three weeks. This guy never learned to be a good partner, and it sounds like he doesnt know how to try now, either. I bought him a journal for prompting thoughts of positivity and gratitude, He acted appreciative and was OK to do the morning and evening prompts. I read this article today because today he laughed at me when I put on a dress that wasnt low cut or revels my chest. Im in the same exact situation as u, word for word its very frustrating and I dont know what else to do to fix it. But anyway recently it just feels like hes not trying to be romantic or even putting much in, Ik our situation is very complicated and he is probably dealing with his dad still but I have to help my nana everyday and I still make time for him, send him cute messages like I made some welsh cakes I was thinking I could drop some off and give you a little peck as kind of a joke and he just replied with no dont do that. but in the reality im not. But he has never considered making me happy for once. Open your heart to Jesus; listen to His call on your life. Im going to be a junior in a few months and hell be a freshman in college. The problem is, everyone around me has boyfriends that are going the extra mile to make sure their girlfriends feel loved at this time. I just feel like that is so little reassurance for what would be 7 years together, that we would have the possibility to then just maybe live together. However he has an interview for one. Because I love him, i did. I have been dating my boyfriend for 3 years and will be 4 years this August. I just feel hurt and we just had a big fight yesterday and I feel kinda empty. He needs help but isnt able to take responsibility or accountability or doesnt care enough about maintaining the relationship I guess to do anything to make it work. I realized that despite all Ive shared with him about how his lack of effort makes me feel, he wasnt really listening or caring about it. So my boyfriend and I will have been together for a year this november. He is a nice guy as a whole but its the fact he went out of his way for me a handful of times that gave me a little hope in this sudden realization of my feelings but recently he has completely shut me out.
