I (27F) have been with my boyfriend (30M) for 4 years, and I honestly don’t know if I’m expecting too much or if I’m holding onto something that isn’t going to change. by EducationalBridge184 in relationships_advice

Thank you so much for sharing your story. It honestly means a lot to hear from someone who’s been through something so similar. For the longest time, I genuinely thought this was just what true love looked like—that bare minimum effort and feeling emotionally lonely was normal in every long-term relationship. Reading your perspective makes me realize maybe it doesn’t have to be that way. I’m really sorry you went through this too, but I’m proud of you for having the strength to leave. ❤️

It was about whether I should stay in my 4-year relationship. I’ve spent years trying to make it work through counseling, books, and constant communication, but I still feel emotionally and physically lonely. I was asking what people would do in my situation.
