You have the power to change someone very important in your life. I want to tell him that having me over for take out and to spend the night is not enough. SHE STILL HAD HER HARNOUS ON HER. his excuse of not having quality time? Everything is fried up. Its been an extremely rocky relationship but has the tendency to resolve itself. We get along well because we were good friends before the relationship, we have a lot in common, but spent a little time together in person before the relationship, communicating mainly online. Hes really bad at texting and sometimes we dont really talk on the phone cause he said he was tired. So I stated being more involved in his hubbies then usual and listening. In the past few months that has changed and hes gotten better. We are the prize, we have to make them earn us. Im the beginning, it was easy. We cuddled and played video games until 5 am and they took me home. It wasnt any thing bad. Thats the way to get a I dont care, because Im awesome kind of attitude. I said it would really mean the world to me if he would send me a good morning text like he used to. We all deserve to be happy. He also said that I know how he is and that he is tired from work. Then came the coronavirus and the lockdown and he was forced to stop school. He Thinks You Are Bored. Thank you for being here, and for being so honest about your relationship difficulties! Know your worth and dont settle for a man who doesnt act like hes got you pinned down, get a man who treats you like he cant get enough of you. He took care of me when they pulled my wisdom teeth and he offered his family as my family (my immediate family is in Mexico so I always had to spend the holidays alone). Could it be that he lost interest in me? Right now I want to clear things out and make this the last time we talk about this, because in the last month I told him many times that I felt like he made no time for me and was making more effort to spend time with his friends than with me, and he doesnt even answers my texts. He just doesnt make an effort to ask me to do things. But he would rather break up than try to understand what makes me happy and make an effort. Just about two weeks ago, the cycle broke. I love everything you said and its so true. I realize ,Im no cup of tea at times either but I never lied, cheated or left him in the dark .I feel incredibly cheated by the amount of time I spent culturing and cultivating a better life for him so that he may go impress someone else because of what I had endured dealing with his crumbs of affection why is it with men its all up your ass or nothing at all where is the balanced gentleman I so crave ? And boom..you would be able to leave him to be single and be open for someone whod treat you just the way you deserve. About 2 weeks or so after, I voiced my concerns again about his lack of effort in making quality time. He did have a hard time texting back or talking and thats what brought me to posting the initial question. We both have good jobs and have a beautiful life together. I just now accidentally found this article and my rather lengthy comment. Stop yourself from bombarding him with messages. I question why after knowing what he knows, he wont even try to talk to me. Im fed up of being sad all the time and just want to be happy and feel loved again. 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. I was so upset and sad to know he did that, specially after just having a baby. This leaves us hanging on in hopes they will be that guy again. There could be many reasons why your partner is not showing you the affection you desire, and according to therapist, dating and relationship coach and former matchmaker Lauren Korshak, one major reason could be that they are suffering from a crisis. I ask my boyfriend to do simple things like make me a coffee once in while, ask if i got home safe, tell me im beautiful, or just ask me on a date. But he appriciate my participation in some kind of sexul things. Its been almost two years and weve been inseparable ever since but lately it seems like something has changed. Ive mentioned the kissing thing to him a couple of times and so far, no real change. Hello Laurie, thank you for writing the article. He comes to stay here but thats it really. maybe its because im his first gf and he doesnt know exactly how to treat one, but it still makes me sad to think that he might not love me that much. He stopped initiating sex and one day i found saved Google image searches under very specific terms saved on his phone and realized why i wasnt getting laid anymore.

BUT both have to put in the work and if its not happening the work then its not happening and we are settling. It hurts, but Ive got to learn to let go. I tried talking to him and he said I was being to needy. The first date was half a year into our relationship at an Italian restaurant. For the first time in my life,i met someone who truly loves me,he gives me everything i want,he goes out of his way to do anything for me,but because i have being in so many bad relationships,i find it hard to trust him,lately we were having so many issues,cos i couldnt trust him and thought he was cheating! But hes a good guy with a good job so thought I would see if I could deal with it. Me and my boyfriend have been together for more than a year now and I feel like lately he doesnt make any effort to spend time with me. Then he asked me out for coffee later tonight if i am free, I told me I am already engaged ( which I am). In a year and a half weve gone on maybe 2 dates and I had to beg for them. 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? Be like, Hey, Im going to the beach or the zoo tomorrow and I was also gonna do this other thing. He doesnt call me much. There is no consistency. 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 Weve been together for almost 3 years and Ive stuck out the lack of attention for about a year and it really hurt. Its a painful truth. Yes, I feel as if hes pulled away from me. I really need an outlet! There is just nothing in return. I talked to him early in the day (he was out of town). 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. Then they show us who they really are and we dont want to see. Just a text. Any advice is well appreciated. It will be uncomfortable for awhile with out him, but its better on the other side. My fiance and I have been together for a year.. when we first got together he was so happy and kind to me.. but then there was all this stuff from his job getting him stressed out ..and bills, and family, and Im not sure what else..his last job he had a manager that spoke so poorly towards him and the other employees plus the customers. His plan to get a better job (he was very cocky and confident a massive promotion would just land on his lap as soon as he graduated like one day someone would email him out of the blue from Linkedin and offer him a CEO job or something) so he has become depressed. Hes lives far from me so our relationship was based off of ft. We would stay up all night on the phone and talk and then he slept during the day but he sometimes would call me. They just seems like some eords. His temper and his childish attitude and how he has to be right all the time. I sometimes wonder if my daughter was dating someone like him, if Id tell her to ditch him. Ask them, I feel like youre ignoring me. Theres a reason why the Geneva Convention bans sleep deprivation as torture What you need to do is make time to get a little bit of rest (and youll actually find that you will become more productive with a little rest too and not have to spend so much time lacking sleep). You cant change how he acts toward youyou can only change your expectations. For example, he never said that he was looking forward to seeing me when he made plans to hang out, so I stopped doing that. I help him with college work a lot, and he often expresses to me how he feels so much calmer and relaxed when were together (which is true because his mood just completely changes and hes always so happy). Then we usually get in an argument and sometimes we break off for about a week. If I dont ask him are we seeing each other today? Oh and i forgot to say that the first and second time i snuck out I paid his sister 40 dollars OUT OF MY BIRTHDAY MONEY. Ugh. Around my birthday time I started to notice that his effort was there mentally and physically. Then nothing. Maybe he will brush his teeth at lunchtime but often he just smells like armpits and looks like a scruff and then wants to come to our clean bed that way. In all reality if he is losing interest youll know in time. Let him go! Now, he doesnt put effort. It breaks my heart not talking to him and hearing about his day but I know this was for the best. I am clearly the one putting any effort into the relationship where I think I have just made it too easy for him. You need to recognize that youre settling for less than you deserve. But I needed to know if he still wanted the relationship with me because he has been so distant. My boyfriend and I have been dating for three months. I got back with my ex after months. Within the past 2 years. Especially because hes not an introverted person, he has a lot of friends he goes out with often to play board games or to bars. 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. It was about the same time he stopped replying. He doesnt reply to you, so he doesnt deserve to know youre going to find someone else. We were friends for about 2 years before I gave him a shot and when we were still just friends he would try to spend as much time with me as possible and hangout all the time. Try to change. That bothers me because on his birthday I did get him a little something and also, called his sister to get his favorite chocolate cake and chocolate icing recipe of his moms who is deceased. The last few years have been tough. I feel like Ive tried everything to get us back on track so weve just spoken on the phone & hes going to think about things tonight. Be happy with you. The effort went after a few months to me doing it all. But also in the past few months he has also started growing his own pot, which I cant handle. That also means i cant get a job either. And im as asian girl. ? Like WTF is your goal, here, exactly? I think him doing that even though you have said you arent okay with it is extremely disrespectful and shows he doesnt care about your feelings. The man is now in jail. On the other hand, maybe your boyfriends lack of effort means that he only calls you once a month or texts you once every two months. Anniversaries, birthdays etc. I dont want to push him away. Ive been giving some hint and already talked about how I feel and why Im acting like this. I reslect to my culture. Rather, letting go is about loosening unhealthy attachments in current and past relationships. Im so embarassed and devastated plus the sex he didnt touch me but he kiss me but I understand because I only give him minutes. No updates or goodnight/ goodmorning texts.The thing is, I get worried easily.I didnt wanna bother him cause I knew he could get pretty busy with chores at home and his fam is kinda strict on exposure to electrical gadgets so he doesnt want to be on his phone much when hes with them. I met other guys got into relationships but didnt work. The crazy thing about all this is that even tho Im the one craving attention and love and effort in the relationship, he actually relies on me a lot. Ive been dating my boyfriend for four years. (this actually backfired) and caused huge tension and we nearly broke up several times, but when i tried to give him more space to understand his situation, my worst fears came true because we started talking less and less. You cant control your feelings, but you can control what you say and do. Ive been dating Wes for about 6-7 months. I realised hes never going to change, no matter how many times Ive brought it up. My boyfriend was CEO of the company when I know him, we both were very attracted to each other, but some how we missed the chance. He asked if I wanted help learning and I said a big yes. Still didnt have my phone but my bf wanted to see me. And then proceeded to call me later like nothing was wrong to tell me about something that happened at work. And we rarly go outing..but i wanted to be spend my time with him. I leave him love notes and make him dinner all the time and he doesnt match my effort. I dont deserve this. I asked if he still has resentment but he said he doesnt. We are an older couple early 60s. Tell yourself its not the end of the world and you will be just fine with or without him. Were both going to France in September as part of college and were going to different parts of France. Ive been in same situation. I randomly always try to put efforts in the relationship but get nothing in return. 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. I try to do something positive and you piss on it.

Again, thank you Sumiah and to the other ladies in this blog who support each other. any improvement? He used to call me at night before he sleeps,now he doesnt anymore,he takes days to reply my whatsapp messages. Me and my boyfriend have been together for over a year, but we have known each other for 10 years. Imagine his game is more important than you. We have so much in common, yet not at the same time. I almost believe he is avoiding me for not been attracted to me.I am sure that he wants me and I feel frustrated with his actions but I do love other qualities he has. And he certainly isnt going to change without a real reason, e.g., losing someone he cares about. I did confront him regarding that and he said he still feels the same.But his recent actions have been bugging me and I cant help but feel like hes ignoring me on purpose,like hes tired of me. Its insane. I do far too many things for him. I would go on my off days when I wasnt in collehe classes or work. He has always been lazy and wants to spend his day relaxing on his days off. He would change his mind a lot from going to his home state to staying and ever since hes been on and off in our relationship and very careless he doesnt put effort into it after everything I HAVE DONE FOR HIM. This is exactly me, I always feel stupid for caring more, its like the bane of my existence. This isnt a man. So i get back from fall break and i zoom him.hes acting different and grumpy and meanhe told me he was moving back to his home state and never coming backI started balling my eyes out I was so confused. We never do anything spontaneous or fun, and Im the type of person who loves that stuff. Ive been with my boyfriend for 4 years. Its been six months now and so far nothing. That gives a clear instruction on how they can help meet your needs. Then, youll know what to do when your boyfriend makes no effort in your relationship. They had another baby but as the saying goes you shouldnt have a baby to fix things so they split up. There is someone else for you. I dont know if anyone has experienced this before? I feel like we should break up but as I say he is my life its really difficult and I dont want to hurt him. I spend half my time daydreaming about being actually taken care of by someone. 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 I get it, hes never been through the same things but I expect that. This guy isnt my boyfriend but we met in a way that would almost seen like fate. I recently said I needed a romantic date, and other things kept coming up. surprisely right after I unblocked him he sent me a message saying hi and hows life? And if you need help deciding what to do about a boyfriend who isnt making an effort in your relationship, you can share your story in the comments section below. He said he would change, but he said that before. I am still sad and confused as to what happened. He just plays it off as nothing serious unless Im breaking down crying. Back in June, I suggested we could likely see each other given both of us are very much on quarantine and not going out or seeing anyone else. I finally thought things were getting so much better for both of us. Because you are a happy individual yourself, he would feel lucky to share his life with you. Im sorry, and I know it can be a really hard thing to do, but you need to leave. His attitude stinks toohe laughs in my face when I get upset by this. Boy bye. A lovely text of him telling me that we can talk everyday when I wake up in the morning. 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. He never seems to try, you know. His mom, so sweet and caring, once scolded me because I refused to go on a trip with him. 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). He said hes always lacked that proactiveness even with his friends (which Ive seen firsthand) and admitted he let that be my responsibility,not because he didnt want to see me but because it doesnt occur to him to organise. He said that Ive been making effort so can he. He snaps at me more now that we live together and anytime I try to bring up my sensitive feelings they are dismissed as drama he cant handle. Get away from him immediately! Especially if you have a SON!! So if it really werent for zoey (our dog) I wouldnt have gone on that second date with him (because I just cant say no to seeing puppies). I hope you work things out- either way. dont know if you guys familliar with Myasthenia gravis.. its an auto immune decease which makes your muscle gets weak. I would appreciate any advice! HI CHRIS, MY BOYFRIEND ALSO DRINKS A LOT. Anyway not sure what to do either but it helps to know Im not the only one. Thats the one thing that i really expect. He never wants to go anywhere or do anything. 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 dont think he would see it this way at all. But even after reminding him of that, nothing happen. And i couldnt forget it. I realize sooner or later if things dont get better (which it seems hes going out of the way to prevent from happening) Ill have to face the unimaginable possibilty of having really lost the man of my dreams and move on. 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. My friends have been pulling their hair out trying to get him to help them plan my party and he ignores their texts. You didnt like THAT answer, did you? Im about to turn 20 in a few months and hes 25, Im afraid i might be a little too naive or wayyy too vulnerable for someone like him. We have a 12 year old daughter. I just want to have a nice time, an interesting conversation. We were really happy and things happended so good. Our communication is pretty bad now. to tell you honestly, im the one who makes effort for us to be together because he lives far away from me and i understand his conditon that he cant travel far.. im not a demanding partner all i want is for him to make little efforts to make me feel special and loved. the hard part is we have a very deep connection, we understand eachother, and have the best friendship any partner could have I have recently told him on a few occasions how unhappy I have become. Or stay here and break up. I am the first gf my bf ever had and theres only so much I can pin on that reason. Maybe you feel grateful when your boyfriend finally decides to stop by at 10 pm, without calling first. 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. Do I move the goal post so he can succeed? So, my boyfriend and i have known each other our entire lives. Also, when we have problems hell shut me out and not talk about it anymore. ANGRY ALL THE TIME. 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. Dont know full dets but I know you deserve to be happy. He has made me grow in ways Ive never imagined. Thats something you need to know. Nor was him working full time and on his masters degree for 18 months. I hate that normal people go out and do fun things. Youre not alone my girl xxx, My boyfriend and I have been dating for 2yrs now, everything was all good until the beginning of 2019,he started to distance himself from me, one day I received a text message from a strange number asking me if I know my boyfriend and if we are dating, I was calm and honest when I answered the text, I went to whatsapp and checked the number out and I saw the photo, it was a lady texting me, I asked her who she was and she said she was just a friend to my guy and she noticed that lately my guy has been stressed and she thought it was a lady stressing her, thats why she snooped on his phone and got my number, all this time I remained calm, thee following day I decided to go to my boyfriend house without informing him, it was around 10pm, I met with the same lady their, my guy was not around, I got inside the house and the lady went straight to sit at the bed while I was sitting at the chair, I couldnt wait any longer I went home, I couldnt get in touch with the guy on phone, his phone was off, the following day this same lady called me at around 7pm telling me that my boyfriend is sick, I went to his house and I found the lady with my guy sitting on the bed very close, I was still calm I said hi and I sat on the chair, this lady excused herself and left me with my guy, I asked him who was the lady and he told me that his best friend was dating Herr so they are just good friends, we spoke and everything was good, the following day in the morning this lady text me and tells me why I came to break that guys heart, the guy told the lady that I had come to break up with him, that I told him I found another man, I never said anything like that, why was my guy lying? Around the 5th month, he asked me to be his girlfriend but then he quickly retracted it after realizing how serious we were about to be. Over the past 2 months something changed. He got a divorce just over two years ago and lately he has been having some family issues. when i make plans to go out tgt w him he will in the end cancel it and i feel so fked up.
