Like thank you for ruining an otherwise nice day/evening because I did not answer you the correct way when you asked if I refilled the ice tray. 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. Me and him didnt talk all day but that didnt matter at first cause he slept while i went to school but then he started to sleep at night like a normal person and so I would go to school and ft him right when school got out and we would fall asleep on ft together. Hes now working at a new job since Jan and its great! Soon realizing i wasnt going to come back to where i met him i tried to break it off. Weve been together for 5 years. I noticed he changed a bit, he does little effort in our relationship. 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. I just cant understand or relate to his lack of effort anymore. Oh n did i mention that i literally have NOWHERE ELSE TO GO? Im always the one asking him to do something, Im always planning my work schedules around his and swapping shifts etc I just feel like its so one sided sometimes. What happened now Millie? His excuse was that he had no time because of work. 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. sometimes i question if he even has time for me at all. It was coming across the needle in the haystack that you placed in a way that someone was bound to find it. He has changed massively and does not do any of those things now. He has been better now and takes time to analyze his intention before he says more. But he has never considered making me happy for once. But even after reminding him of that, nothing happen. He has no end of time for himself. So I honestly dont understand. I hope things get better. Would you be better off without him? Stopped fantasies and games and generally sexual desire towards me about 2-3 years ago now, losing track. But we continued texting and he just ghosted me. Nor the stress of my mothers battle with stage 4 cancer. My friend found someone perfect really quickly on Tinder 3 years ago, and they just got married in November. Its okay to build from scratch instead of being in an emotionally abusive relationship and constantly being destroyed in to nothing. You only care about yourself, youre lazy out of anger.. which it catches up to me and makes me awful because I know his lack of energy plays a large part of it but how am I supposed to feel or do.. to make it even better he recently told me after a large fight about laundry or something I barely remember, that hes decided to go for traveling nursing in California this spring because he will make more Money (something he is very stressed out about) and I dont know what to do because thats not part of our plan. So any advice would be helpful. (He still didnt) I asked him to please text me if he was going to be late and he got upset with me. This guy is not considerate at all and does not have your best interest at heart. Its about dealing with regret, coping with guilt, and healing shame. Don't be antagonistic towards him, but make him realize how much you It had been more than a month since I had last talked to him. But we were young and didnt need fancy dates. The thing is there seemed to be no problem in our relationship, i love him and i feel like its mutual but about two weeks ago he began to claim that i was cheating on him (which Im not) and well ik its happened to him before. He doesnt have any plans in those days and still he can not make an effort to spend that day with me, meanwhile I have 2 birthday parties and was ready to ditch them to spend time with him. This past week, I got strep throat and was miserable, so I didnt do anything, and since I got antibiotics, Ive been feeling better, but Im debating on doing anything to show him how much I do and how little he does. And I would listen but then my insecurities would come back and were back to where we started. And you need to figure out why youre not asking him to treat you better. Coming to the realization that a partner is no longer emotionally invested in your commitment isn't an easy pill to swallow, and it's definitely not something to ignore. Just about two weeks ago, the cycle broke. thats about it. But it hasnt. If, say, youre a non-stop talker, you frequently talk over your partner, tend to interrupt, and just aren't a good listener, they'll stop sharing their innermost thoughts and feelings because they don't feel "heard." WebYes bare minimum but extra behaviors from a coworker. hes never romantic, never takes me anywhere spontaneously it just goes on. Advice? I have 2 dogs who give me so much love and fulfillment. Then we signed our new real lease together and I dont know how we got where we got but he started getting lazy. He spends hours playing videogames and if I want us to go to bed together I always have to be waiting for him till 4 in the morning even when I have classes at 9, and when I wanna go to bed earlier I cant even sleep because of the noise and flashing lights of the videogame. The point is if a man cares enough about his future wife and son would he want them to be safe and help them move to become a family.. Kiki, I do not like what you said about being the one who travels back and forth. NEVER REALLY HELPS. Are you still in your relationship? I would go on my off days when I wasnt in collehe classes or work. Landis Bejar is a New York State Licensed Mental Health Counselor and the founder of AisleTalk: Consultation & Therapy. As of now, we have been back together in a relationship for about a year and a half. We went on a trip. 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. His self-absorbtion is engrained and chronic- and not my issue to fix. Men go through depression, hurt and sorrow just like us women do. You want him to want you. August came around I went back to school. Could you be the one who's not listening? He then told me it was the appropriate setting to tell me I was super cute. But he makes time for his boys and gaming everyday. What do I talk about with my girlfriend? Ive been with my bf for a year & half but we have past history. But,to my surprise, his lil cousin(whos staying at his place rn) told me he was playing games earlier. This is good advice thanks, Ive been dating my boyfriend for six months now and its been a really hard couple of months for us. Yet around the holidays, he has completely dropped off the radar and is barely giving me more than a one word text response back. Ugh. I decided I deserve to be treated with love and respect. I got to see him in person for the first time and we were in love. I dont think what Im asking for is difficult to do that it would take months to see any results. And cant make money, i have no car! When ALL grocery stores near us are closed saying I dont feel like cooking tonight, we dont have all the ingredients so I say ok why is it that you didnt notice this when you got home from work when stores were open? This makes me feel like he just needs me to help him with work. He compromised but I guess his old self is back .Ive not heard from him today as well.I would understand if he was unwell,Id appreciate it if he could atleast send me even a short message so I wouldnt get so worried. I didnt even realise I was expecting the bare minimum until it hit me while I was laying in bed after he hadnt messaged me all day because he was busy playing his game. I have told him that I will be losing a lot when I move career wise. But yeah, we talk more and sometimes I struggle to text back too since I work full time now! Every weekend is now him doing chores, cleaning, going to the dry cleaners and food store at 8am and by the early afternoon the incessant yawning starts. I asked him where he skated since his bio mentioned he skated and then he said he knew me!! I try to help him to make it easier for him since I know he has a lot on his plate but he doesnt seem to notice that. Clearly I am not a priority and I deserve better so I think it is time to move on. I really think this will be a good thing for us because Ill be able to have my own independence and maybe make him see that I can be happy without him (even tho as of right now we are planning on staying together and commuting to each other when we can). Everything now has become a tit-for-tat pissing match competition for control and autonomy. He went out and bought 48 roses he surprised me with though out the day for Valentines day and took me out for a really nice dinner- he even planned having sexy time (which got postponed finishing). Im Im confused and at this point I almost miss being just friends because then he would try harder. Then I get a text at 10 pm! Go out more often, meet new people, make friends, get involved with charity organisations or simply start a class for something you always wanted to do; try a new hairstyle, go shopping, take yourself on dates, go to a beach or a lake and enjoy the sunset (yes alone! I have met and gone out with his friends. He also always texts me daily, and he is generally the one to text first, and always responds to my texts immediately. He always gives excuses such as I just ate and no matter what I still put my pride aside and do it for him. Hi Beyza! hi so ive been with my bf for 4 years and at first ofc it was all great but after 2 years he jst stopped putting in effort and when i ask him to, he makes it seems like its such a chore. I decided to pull back and just sit and watch. 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. If every word out of your mouth is an insult, a critique, or disparaging remark, The main problem in our relationship is one: I go out of my way for him all the time and apparently that is ok. I have told him many times that he doesnt care about me, and he always says that he loves me. Im still dissatisfied I guess. It has created a balance to where I dont feel exhausted with trying to keep things going. Im in school full time until July 2023 and though I have a flex pt job at Amazon, the hours and job itself is so crappy. We havent been fighting everyday. Which I know I do and Ive thought about sooooo much, but my problem is is that I actually cant imagine my life without him, hes been in it so deeply since we were 13/14 and I love him so much. I had to call him! He may not be the person for you. If you always cook dinner, take a night off. Its been six months now and so far nothing. Things had been going really well during the time we decided to get back together and I thought things were really different. That gives a clear instruction on how they can help meet your needs. Never happened. We recently broke up with him due to the fact that, despite my efforts to express how I didnt feel like a priority, and him apologizing, him not making an effort to see me during the week (Works been crazy) and saying he would call me at night, but not, he did not change and I gave it 2 1/2 weeks. I hate that normal people go out and do fun things. He doesnt do laundry, dishes, cook or clean. Like by shouting Im gonna get scared or intimated. Im in the same exact boat. It can make you feel insecure like theres something wrong with you. I dont want to much. I was 15 when we got together and he is like my best friend I love him very much the problem is, I just feel like I do everything I can to make him feel comfortable and cared for and he does very little at all. I dont know what to do. Let him go! Someone needs to get off if it cant be discussed and decisions made together to improve what doesnt work for one or the other. We dont barely talk to each other. When I try to talk to him about my feelings he never ever knows how to react and just completely closes off from me. First I asked him if we could level up our relationship through meeting his and my family. Also, and Im not materialistic by any means, hes offered to buy me lots of things or even just give me money to help with bills. He never, ever in our relationship posted pictures of us on social media. Anyway not sure what to do either but it helps to know Im not the only one. All I think of him is selfish & inconsiderate of everyones feelings but his own. He still lives with his mum at almost 30. Each weekend he has been helping his DJ friend ( his BFF), or going out with best buddies. I feel like it would be easier being single which I dont want cuz hes a great guy other wise. He doesnt know WHY he cant put in the effort that he wants to put in. God bless! I am always will to do anything however since I love notice it was only me doing it Ive been reluctant. Dont end up like me. He has lost interest in everything. I hope this helps! He doesnt check up on me to see if Im okay or if I get home okay, and it just hurts me that he never wants to spend time with me when were out drinking with our friends? And silly me, I was waiting for his reply all night.I know hes got alot to deal with rn and all Im asking for is a time-to-time update so I can be at peace.Is that too much to ask for? I found the place, set up the lease. We only see each other every one or two weeks at the most. Give him some space to work on his stuff and go easy on him for a bit. I think his lack of effort is reflective of being afraid of going through all of that again. ive already told him my feelings about this often. Ive mentioned his lack of effort and he did take it on bored but recently Im seeing a slip into his old ways. He Thinks You Are Bored. Girl, you need to get out of that relationship now! WORKS BUT DOES NOTHING ELSE. Im really worried because from October were doing it long distance and Im dreading that if Im not the one to go see him, were not gonna see each other for half a year. Surprising me with letters, giving me flowers and just little things like opening the door for me. But we got OUR place, he expects me to clean, cook, everything. I forgot the bin was being collected and it was due to arrive in a few hours, he didnt take it out. And youll likely receive the same treatment. The first 5 he was boyfriend of the year. i want to try to talk to him about it since we never argued or anything but ive been feeling this way for quite a while and i dont want to just break up with him like that. Youll feel encouraged and strengthened, comforted and supported. I feel angry and resentful that going to school took him away from me while he was basically unavailable and busy. I really love him and he is my first. Did your boyfriend stop making an effort because hes distracted or stressed about something else in his life? I think the common thread here is, we are attaching ourselves to emotionally unavailable men. This past year has been a struggle, and I dont know what it means. I dont know what to do. Im a very physical touch/ Quality time person. My boyfriend and I have been together for nearly 5 years. About 3 weeks after, right after a fight we had after my bday, he told him he cant find them. He loves me and I love him. My boyfriend and I started with a lot of stress in our relationship. We talked about it seriously the 2nd year. As his tummy is upset, but theres been more times idk I just think in this lockdown Ill message him say Im not far from where he is and Im like I could drive past wave from my car and hes like no dont do that. Its less taxing on my emotional self to stay lonely. WebHe gets upset when he sees me giving attention to other guys but goes back to ignoring me when I give him attention. Even when you are depressed you can do little things, especially if its for someone you love. Rather than jumping to conclusions, have a conversation with your partner and ask them what's been on their mind and the reasons for their apparent loss of interest. Hi Ella. You cant change your boyfriend. Im the beginning, it was easy. His temper and his childish attitude and how he has to be right all the time. A week after that, I was at a summer camp and me and him were on ft. Then rock bottom hits, I ended up having to go to urgent care bc of an allergic reaction to a flu shot I had gotten. I just want to have a nice time, an interesting conversation. The only thing I get from him are words. I dont want a father figure, i want a man that i love to show love to me. It helped me calm down. Not material things, but being romantic on special occasions. He barely showers and Im afraid he barely feeds my son when Im away at work. Were both in college and when we started dating we were together all the time, we went out together with friends, we watched movies, etc. I am slowly trying to make new friendships and to enjoy myself with people who love me. Im pretty sure hell tell me I cant really go because its just an alumni weekend. But the communication thing has really slowed down. I have been noticing that he is lacking some qualities that I need in a mate. He loves the gym and usually chooses that over me, hanging out with his friends etc but then when we do actually spend time together hes all over me and appreciates me so much and makes me feel amazing. i feel lonely in my relationship because it is very one sided. Now if I even suggest or hint at sex it is another argument. I decided to swipe right to see who he was. sometimes comes to my place to have sex. Maybe hes too heavy into the party, drugs, and alcohol scene. So currently on the couch drinking a beer, eating leftovers from a 3 days ago (which is humorous because he could have at LEAST heated that up for me) and then all the sudden the dog jumps up at me. My boyfriend and I have known each other since I was 18 years old. Thank you for taking the time to type the words in your comment. ? I felt confident with my decision to part. Over the past 2 months something changed. I just dont know what to do. He just doesnt care. Please give me some advice pleaaaase.

You can change how you respond to your boyfriend and everything else in your life. This helps me to decide that I cant wear rose colored glasses with my current relationship .thanks for helping me see what I have to remove from my life . Maybe he no longer loves you the way he used to. he has a 9-5 job and all he ever wanna do is go home and game after and its not that i mind but is it rlly hard to jst have dinner w me for once? We girls if determined, are so much more stronger than guys Angela. Were both divorced. Everything has started crumbling over the last few months. It was two day before his birthday so this was like a birthday present. He said he did. He continues to text me daily, several times a day generally, and gets worried if I dont respond right away. My friends have been pulling their hair out trying to get him to help them plan my party and he ignores their texts. It makes me jealous he could spend time playing games with her not me. So I dropped them and only expected him to make an effort on anniversaries but still nothing. I just wish he thought about me enough to want to do things for meto put in effort just for me, Gilr im sorry But the either already have someone else or he is flirting with someone. He says he works so hard for me or us so we can have the things we want in life and Im so grateful but money isnt everything. His complaint is that no matter what he does is never enough and that I dont contribution anything. I stayed in that relationship. It may be time to reassess your relationship. he only paid for me once and he never surprises me with dates or buy gifts. Within the past 2 years. I dont want to talk about marriage or kids or the future. I dont know what to do and need some advice. Were both going to France in September as part of college and were going to different parts of France. Thats Progress! Need. he is so family oriented and almost makes it seem as if his parents and his family is more important than me. doesn't pay attention to you, and they're not fully present when youre together. Hes shows effort but due to my insecurities I overthink when I stop seeing the efforts and assume the worst. Its almost like when he couldnt have me he would try hard and now he has me and he doesnt have to put in anymore effort. But I needed to know if he still wanted the relationship with me because he has been so distant. I dont want to give this up if there is an underlying issue that we can resolve, but I cant put my finger on it. he is a loyal person i know that but hes too self centered and he makes me feel like im not important. If the boyfriend didnt do that and kept saying he did nothing wrong, maybe it is time you find someone who can truly respect the beautiful soul you are. My gut instinct had been telling me since February of this year that his feelings had changed. 1. I said fine. That being said, on Christmas or birthdays or Valentines day, I expect something. I need suggestions on how to deal with this. I want to make things work. I am sad, let down, depressed, jealous of every woman out there, sexually frustrated beyond comprehension. When I ask, he gives me some reasons. I am secretary saving money to leave. Ive been with my mate for 8 years prior to dating we were band mates .I knew him to be extremely introverted and not the happy go lucky type but I honestly had no idea it would be like pulling a tooth without novocaine to get any emotional response, support or growth,out of him!I feel stunted and see my life ever changing and evolving yet his ,the same .He has taken on many of my attributes oddly ,yet I feel, Ive gained nothing in return.
