he stopped giving me attention

surprisely right after I unblocked him he sent me a message saying hi and hows life? He is in law school, I am getting my masters, and we also partake in a long distance relationship. But since last year, he stopped doing that. I assumed I was losing my shit and being too emotional, but its the 70 hr work week and the MBA When you go without sleep for extended periods of time, you start developing symptoms that look similar to depression. Then we usually get in an argument and sometimes we break off for about a week. Im Im confused and at this point I almost miss being just friends because then he would try harder. 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. As he knows that everyone has me do everything for everyone. If you ever need a friend dont hesitate to reach out. work game sleep. I made it to the driveway before I felt so uncomfortable I ran inside to put on jeans and a tee shirt. He has always been lazy and wants to spend his day relaxing on his days off. In regards to the relationship, when you get more rest and relaxation and go back to your favorite hobby, find ways to invite the guy. He leaves his laundry pile up on the floor, towels, dirty dishes. So any advice for me would be great! Another thing that bothers me is he will ask me about my day or some other question, then when I answer, he switches the subject back to himself. For me personally, I feel like my boyfriend does not know how to go through a crisis together. 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. He has recently been stressed about getting into grad school and got denied for his first two school. I forgot the bin was being collected and it was due to arrive in a few hours, he didnt take it out. After that he chatted me that hes sorry he didnt give the money and I said im not accepting money for sex. He spoiled her before they had kids then stopped completely as the kids needed his resources. Girl please, stop wading knee deep in his shit! I couldnt take the iPad with me if i snuck out but i did tell him to meet me at my gate at midnight. I love him very much and I know that he loves me but deep down i often wonder how much i mean to him or if i mean much at all. 58 here and it was us as the major priority for 3 solid yrs.. and now in our 4th yr. it has changed. He did have a hard time texting back or talking and thats what brought me to posting the initial question. He blames his lack of functioning on his religious faith. He Never happened. He is playing you and gas lightning you! Thats the one thing that i really expect. When you get his attention, never hesitate to say your mind. Overuse of the phone, computer, social media, and video gamesalong with an unwillingness to unplug even after being askedis a big departure from the early "getting to know you" phase of your relationship when all conversations seemed interesting and all concentration was focused on your time together. He sounds lazy and you sound unhappy. I went through a period of unemployment and he was not emotionally supportive through this period. What he is doing and how he is treating you is disgusting. Hes been consistent so far. I COOK,CLEAN , KIDSAND I WORK. Hes really bad at texting and sometimes we dont really talk on the phone cause he said he was tired. Even sent follow up warnings and he still didnt do anything this Valentines Day. Then make him work for you! I discussed all these issues with him 2 days before. So what I want to know is do this guy and me still have a chance to fix things? because of this i have been resentful and he became more distant as a result of that. Adeli, I was in a long distance relationship for 1 year, so I understand. When I ask him (nearly beg him) to do something so simple such as make the bed, I come home at 3 pm from work when he has the day off and the bed, room, everything including him is a mess! Then, this guy comes up to me and asks if I was new there. I didnt really understand why he said that when I been there since day one and still been here but I wanted to also considered how he felt and change that. Im not looking for validation from him, but support. But he tells me that he wants to get married even im being a total b*tch. 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. That he put them in their box where he can find them easily when hes getting dressed in the morning and didnt remember where. His emotions are totally unregulated. Nor the stress of my mothers battle with stage 4 cancer. he is the most amazing boyfriend i have ever had or so it was a little while ago. I love my boyfriend so much, weve been together for a year now. 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. We go no where, we do nothing. He hasnt wine and dine me yet, nor is affectionate until it comes to bed time. When I ask him about it hes adamant that he still wants to be with me for the long haul and that he still loves me the way that he did when we met, which I feel so bad for doubting but its just so hard not to when things change like that. One particularly painful reason that a partner has checked out could be that they've lost interest in the relationship and don't wish to pursue it any longer. Dont tell him, because he might try to manipulate you. I think that might make him feel better. He still did not make much of an effort as far as even coming to visit me. After his birthday he left his sisters and moved in with his mom. 1. So, I hate to call him my boyfriend because he is late 50s and I am 47. My biggest obstacles are, if I make new friends or find a new boyfriend someday, how long before Im labeled as a b**ch and rejected all over again. I dont think Ill ever want to be in another relationship again. I even dressed like a naughty teacher when we had sex. There is no consistency. You should definitely read the book why men love b*tches this really goes into depth on why men do that. i just wish he would be more emotionally available. When he isnt at work he shuts himself in the bedroom and plays games whilst I deal with the kids. Thats when we actually started to spend more than a few hours together and he really started to behave like he was in love. It just seems like a cliche movie begining or something. 88 years of expert advice and inspiration, for every couple. After that night i got my phone taken because my grades were awful (bc of home issues) so me and him didnt talk much but that did not stop me.I would sneak the phone and iPad all the time and talk to him still but then my mom found out about this boyfriend of mine (my sister is a snitch) and i told her that i liked him but i wasnt dating him. Im an emotional person but I always try to talk and let him know Im upset so that he knows not to act a certain way. Because you are a happy individual yourself, he would feel lucky to share his life with you. 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. We are doing thanksgiving together. This time, it doesnt feel like it will. My mom knew smthn was up so she said no to taking me. No texting. But for about two of those months, weve been in a long distance relationship due to him being relocated for work and weve only really seen each other about two or three times irl. I love drinking with him and having a laugh but he doesnt seem to feel the same. This sounds like a mentally and abusive situation. 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. 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. All I think of him is selfish & inconsiderate of everyones feelings but his own. Disappointment is a strong emotion to deal with. Im an essential worker so I work fulltime while he sits at home playing video games all day long. She told him to break up with me so he emailed me and said we needed to take a break until the situation gets better. We were together 8 months. Antidepressents can be a good way to start on the road back to normal just to give you some emotional stability. I am always will to do anything however since I love notice it was only me doing it Ive been reluctant. But what?! Hi im kushi, 25yrs old.. My boyfriend and I have been in our relationship for 3yrs now.. Get away from him immediately! He sounds willing to work on your relationship, be thankful for that. I gave him the benefit of the doubt too many times. He also said that I know how he is and that he is tired from work. One of the best things to do when youre confused about your relationship is to pull back and try to see yourself and your boyfriend more objectively. However, he has never been one to put in huge amounts of effort. Paula an emotional rollercoaster is an emotional roller coaster. I do want to believe its because of all his family issues that all this is happening but I am well known for making excuses for boyfriends when things arent right. And its so confusing because we do get along on every other front like we laugh and have so much fun when we hangout and talk a couple times everyday, but I tell him I like small silly gifts every now and then, and just anything thats like hey this made me think of you but he still doesnt seem to get it. He just had to show up with his stuff. There is just nothing in return. We do have a son together and me and him both work and I get home cook and clean and take care of our son while he just gets home everyday and relaxes he has embarrassed me many times in front of his family and friends When we barely got together I asked him what he would rate me 1-10 and he said a 6 and that really broke me. Hes never really posted pictures of us on social media and hes been very non intimate. When your partner no longer cares about what you say, doesn't value your presence, and doesn't seem to be invested in whats going on in your life, its can feel as though they're taking steps toward living a life without you. Then nothing. What can i do to walk out of this toxic relationship? But we got OUR place, he expects me to clean, cook, everything. I think the common thread here is, we are attaching ourselves to emotionally unavailable men. If youre not walking out the door, you are telling him that his behavior is acceptable. We started with skyping during weekends, to calling sometimes to texting only and recently weve stopped texting as often. I worked until 11 pm and he worked until 7 and this morning I even brought everything out ingredients wise for him to FOR ONCE make me dinner because I was getting home SO late and SO exhausted. Of all the relationships you have, I was the best one, I did everything for you and this is how you pay me back. 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. He really hurt me in the past (when we werent together) regarding other girls but hes never actually done anything when weve been going out. Seriously, he was amazing. 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. m tired n dont know what to do anymore! All I want is for us to share things I love together and not just his hobbies and interests. Girl, you need to get out of that relationship now! MY BOYFRIEND AN I HAVE 2 KIDS TOGETHER AND WE BOTH WORK. And are you willing to invest more years/months than to call it off now? Which was Im looking so bad I dont want neighbours to see me like this. Always honest. We had the break up talk several times a day, and at the end of it, it was one of the other begging to stay together because they believed we could fix it. A couple passing times of the day, well meet just for a couple minutes. I didnt see him so I thought maybe he didnt want to show up. But he appriciate my participation in some kind of sexul things. My boyfriend of 7 years had lost interest over the past year, not wanting to see or spend time with me, 3 months now I havent seen him once. 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. As well as this, I makes me question if he is speaking to other females behind my back again. I am doing all the work for us. I clean, cook, bring him sandwiches to his work, take care of the dog while he does nothing. Then we start texting, he seems fine again and things are good and a month or so later it happens again. We are an older couple early 60s. I learned that my in my boyfriends past relationships he always go and pick up her girldfriend at work and wait for her without asking anything And i feel that he puts more effort to her past relationship, but to me he will ask first should I pick you up? Or would you want to go out? , I feel like there is no initiative or he doesnt want to see me at all. I would NEVER drop my whole life for a Man! I would break up and then we would make up. When i pull back abit, i notice it is when he makes an effort. Unlike me, hes understanding and loyal (my family loves him) but his situation is really difficult but im getting tired of being the only one that tries to make this work by always initiating stuff. He makes money but spends his money on the wrong thing. Dont EXPECT him to show up for it, but try to share it with him a little bit. I met other guys got into relationships but didnt work. 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? Or maybe your boyfriend is dealing with an ex-wife and custody issues, and just doesnt have the time or energy to make an effort in your relationship. Now if I even suggest or hint at sex it is another argument. Its a painful truth. He also gave me his hat. I want to give myself time to breath but when I do, again I feel lazy and like Im doing nothing with my life. Same thing happened another day and another. 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. But again, ask if he wants to just get anything off of his chest about his father, and just let him talk. When i and my parents call him to come home(as our culture) he dont bother about him.. That was another thing to disappoint me more. These are no games. I signed up for therapy and told him that if my behavior was hurting him, that I was willing to change. But If they are not- I think you have to consider moving on. My boyfriend had a terrible marriage and an even worse divorce. Could you be the one who's not listening? What do you do when your boyfriend hate you so much when he is drunk? It took him 2 days to notice something. Weve been together for 5 years. I dont know if he is afraid of fall in love, but he repeatedly went to silent non responsive, when I ask why, he always says he just been busy. Its less taxing on my emotional self to stay lonely. What do I talk about with my girlfriend? It breaks my heart not talking to him and hearing about his day but I know this was for the best. If youre not happy then leave him, its that simple. Has done things for me, in my own home. I think this self reflection is important to ensure I dont repeat this again. it sounds like you two need to have a serious conversation about where you both stand. I miss my best friend and I hate that it feels like maybe hes not missing me as much as I do. Wow I can relate so much to this. When I first met him I didnt think I needed a relationship but now especially in this lockdown I feel a little empty and alone. Is he back with me to punish me or hes still holding back because of the break up and I just need to wait? Right now hes not even talking to me. 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. Dont settle for this. I feel weirdly trapped because I cant really break up with him given there isnt an actual relationship there, but Im in this loop where if I dont respond to HIM like an attentive girlfriend, he expresses this anxiety that gets my attachment system triggered. Do I move the goal post so he can succeed? Needless to say, I do not want to get married, to see if that will make a difference. Its more about him being a hero. He was fine with it so we just started to say it to each other. It is just hurtful to know that he could not even think of doing this one thing for me. He has been better now and takes time to analyze his intention before he says more. I assumed he was dozing off cause he usually do. I would get so frustrated with him because I really was not asking for much, just a phone call to check on your girlfriend surely is not asking for much. Am I a horrible girlfriend for feeling this way? He always makes his schedules according to his friends schedules and if I wanna spend any time with him I have to change my schedules. September came around. I decided to swipe right to see who he was. ? This all happended 1 1/2yrs back.. From that day on, several times we discussed this. I simply did it because I knew I wasnt perfect and I wanted to become the women I needed to be for him. 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. I always let him initiate texting. I have been dating my boyfriend for 6 months also and at the beginning he put in so much effort above and beyond and now its like he is a different person. Let him go! I tried to explain this to him. So I like to know what hes doing or who hes with for peace of mind. Our honeymoon ended way sooner than for others. I really love him and care for him. We have had problems in the past about him flirting with girls on social media but never that Ive known for him to actually meet someone and get their number and asking her out. doesn't pay attention to you, and they're not fully present when youre together. They never turned up. I have met and gone out with his friends. We dont even hug or kiss anymore because people have always yelled PDA! (Stupid high schoolers) so now he wont do any of it. I was so upset and sad to know he did that, specially after just having a baby. The last 3 sentences are what I just told myself & did! I decided I deserve to be treated with love and respect. I have tried so many times to let the relationship go and have broken up with him, but he does not want to let me go. He started texting her about how a great time they had and flirting with her. 8 Signs Youre Falling Out of Love With Your Partner, How People Who Commit Adultery Justify Cheating, According to an Expert, What to Do If Someone Is Flirting With Your Partner, What Is Breadcrumbing?

But there were also a couple of red flags like he wouldnt make concrete plans with me ahead of time, he would just tell me Saturday afternoon that he was ready for me to come over if I wanted. 1. Since Ive moved in with him Ive noticed a big change in things. Even on weekends hes working and most days he cant even have dinner at home with me bc his other entrepreneur jobs are calling. I start to think that maybe he is cheap and he doesnt want to spend money having a meal in a nice restaurant because we didnt go out for a proper dinning experience. Ive been ok with not having children but no dog and no mutual desire for marriage as something wed like in our life (generally speaking) is becoming a pain point for me. Its been since then that the dating pattern of our relationship has declined significantly. After that I had to go home cause it was starting to get dark. Thats it. I dont know what to do. But hes continued to ignore my texts/ doesnt make effort to see me. dont waste your time on a man that is using you. I realised hes never going to change, no matter how many times Ive brought it up. Get emotionally and spiritually healthy. 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 had a past and opened up to me about it and we were just a rlly good couple. 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 I cant help but hang onto hope, desperately wanting something inside him to change. My BF is of course devastated and angry. So hes stopped making an effort because it doesnt matter. Its completely up to me to provide the conversation and topics, which is rather stressful for me 2 years in. Its just making me feel awful but its so difficult because he is my life Ive been with him that long and he is a sensitive person I dont want to hurt his feelings as he isnt bad at all hes just lazy, but I really feel like Im wasting my time now. Its hard to deal with, but Im trying to just tolerate it until the coronavirus is over, in hopes that things will go back to normal. Perhaps he thinks guys dont need to make an effort in relationships, and girlfriends should do all the work. Over the past 2 months something changed. she tells him SHE is sorry. Im so interested in him so Im conflicted. That also means i cant get a job either. They are both in their 40s and are so happy to find each other. Maybe hes too heavy into the party, drugs, and alcohol scene. I just lack security in myself that I need to fill. 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."
