Love your reply and I agree with it all Im struggling right now as Im conflicted with wht to do how long do you wait how long do you keep understanding he has issues he is dealing with but makes minimal effort with our relationship.. Im just sad angry and confused. Ill leave him alone. If you havent recognized it yet, you are in an abusive relationship. I so desperately want a date once in a while wether its once a month so we can enjoy each other and so i can feel like hes doing something special with me AND so i wont go crazy spending every moment in the HOUSE. He told me the other day if you dont like the way I am, then leave me. I do really love him even we just got together. Last week,for like 2/3 days hes been quiet and inactive. His family are complicated, we rushed into our relationship, live together almost 5 years. I got so angry and disappointed after that. Gaslighting, deflecting if I try to reasonably communicate how I feel (because I am not allowed to ever have a problem). I have since ended the relationship as I feel it is a one way system with him taking and not giving. Am so confused I dont rilly know what to do . I really i am lost and dont know what to do, love only gets old if he allows it, I have been trying to do sweet things for him aswell by making him a nice meal and texting him good morning and just checking up on him but I guess he seems rather bored. Thats why I feel like I need to leave. A lot of times my boyfriend has realised he did it on purpose to hurt and he regrets his words right after.

I love him and i plan on marrying him but i dont know how to fix the lack of effort without fighting like we always do when i ask him to put in more effort. So I dug in my heels, and he had a stressful day at work, so it ended with him yelling that I was bipolar and he needed a break before I left and he went back to work. My boyfriend & I have been together for over 10 years. He starts fights or creates conflict for no reason then blames me.

Then make him work for you! If your self-image is shattered because your boyfriend stopped making an effort, then youre expecting too much from him.

(he was asked from her what are u doing, when she replied studying, he texted shall i come to study with u, and she replied there are my friends at my room, and he replied its k.no matter i ll come) But anyway after i saw it i lost my trust on him. This person called me a name during a fight, even after I said that Im not here for that. Im 53, he is 51. Im so sorry this happened to you. 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. We may have jumped into it a little fast but we knew each other so well and things were going great. Hes shows effort but due to my insecurities I overthink when I stop seeing the efforts and assume the worst.

Im certain when he got up in the middle of the night drunk and angry because I was trying to cuddle and woke him up (he got dressed and turned all the lights on to start manically cleaning the house) that he probably threw them in the garbage.

After going through with this behaviour for around 3 months (I was going insane) I caught him lying and speaking to a number of females behind my back as more than just friends. 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. Ive changed from an angry tone to a more assertive one but even if we sort them out, hed revert back to his old habits and ill start pointing fingers and he shuts it out again and eventually we stop talking about it altogether.

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 feel it has been one sided in many ways and all he has given me is monetary odds and ends to compensate for the lack of emotional effort on his part. i felt unhappy with it.. i wanted to give up but i feel like im the only one who can understand him and love him uncondtionally. I was the one who then initiated contact and although he has apologised he isnt making effort but says he cares for me and doesnt want to hurt me, Im starting to get frustrated about his lack of action still and dont know what to do! His complaint is that no matter what he does is never enough and that I dont contribution anything. I make sure I put into the relationship as much as I get. I cannot communicate with him. he again skipped it. I dont know what to do. I do still love him, and have a lot of nice moments with him, and great memories. It makes me jealous he could spend time playing games with her not me. We live together also, in a large house he bought with his ex. He said the reason we broke up was because of different love languages, arguing, and that he was not as emotionally available as I need him to be.

We have an 18 year age gap. Then we started to fight about it a lot because I always felt like I wasnt a priority and was only worth his time when he wasnt with friends or he was horny. But its weird because he texts me good morning every day, asks how my day is throughout the day, sends me updates on everything he is doing, etc. I can sorta relate to you, my boyfriend and I have been dating for 3 months, but our relationship took off really quickly, and he seemed like the perfect boyfriend for the first month, but after that, its seemed like Ive gradually lost his respect.
