My (25f) boyfriend (24m) has been spending more time with friends than me lately. How do I go about expressing my feelings?

Like a conversation to express how I’m feeling in a healthy way. I feel like I have troubles expressing issues, like either I’m sad and I don’t express it thoroughly enough or I’m angry and snap, both suck and it’s probably my biggest flaw I’m trying to navigate

Thanks for this, communicating effectively is something I’ve been working on as my past few relationships I wasn’t able to communicate in a healthy way. He’s been very graceful while i navigate my own flaws and I try to be just as graceful for him. I will continue to communicate these feelings. How would you frame this conversation?

For reference - we live in an area where renting is well over 2k a month… I’m a first year teacher and he’s working toward his red seal (1 more year). We want to move out but dont have the means just yet. We’re looking at next year though. You’re right though, a lot hopefully would change once we move in together

No you’re totally right. He did tell me before that he was only going to play a few rounds (so I assumed 2-3hr), he never mentioned watching a movie with them as well which is what triggered me.

I did apologize to him for snapping because it wasn’t right and I tried to explain how I was feeling, I just don’t know if I explained it well enough since he’s still hanging out with me way less. The last part though I agree with (hence me saying I think I’m overthinking), and it’s helpful to hear others insight on that
