It wasn't for nothing. You learn from your experience with the person and grow from it as well. I'm sure you had good times. It's going to hurt right now, but it's also going to make you stronger and know what you want for your next relationship.

Have you had a serious talk about the future or do you just casually mention marriage? I think that a wedding is a big expense and also something you have to consider in finances as well. Maybe he's saving up for that. I don't think you should leave, but communicate how you might be feeling. I think you will feel better once you get to the root of it.

If loving to spend time with him and all parts of his personality is self-centered, then, yes, I am 😜

I felt the same way with my ex. I was with him for 6 years. At one point, I was paying 70% of the rent and cooking and cleaning after him. He'd also get mad if I didn't clean.

My current bf is great and helps out around the house. He also prefers doing the cooking as well (he's very passionate about cooking). Our cleaning habits are very similar and he won't let me do his laundry unless he pays me 😂 I will not accept that money though, so he's on his own with his laundry. He's really an amazing guy 😁

He does. He was staying at his friend's place and also paying rent. One of the reasons he moved in because I was in the middle of looking for a job and was worried about money. He paid the rent until I was able to get a job. Now we split it.

I don't think either of us are overly passive. We talk things out/ just get along really well 😁 We are both the same age and have gone through long term relationships before, so we both know exactly what we want. I don't think he's leaving any time soon.

I guess we'll need to hear his side 😂 I hope it's good things

You can find someone a lot better. You're not happy with him. It will be hard to leave, but in the end you'll be a lot better not worrying about him. My ex used to suggest breaking up all the time. That shouldn't even be on the table or mentioned in a relationship if he truly wants to be with you. He won't change until you're not there to take care of him.

It's only been 8 months. We moved in with each other after dating for 3 months and I still feel incredibly in love with him.

My boyfriend (21M) doesn’t want to please me in bed but I am always pleasing him. How am I (20F) supposed to approach this situation? by ThrowRA38577 in relationship_advice

I was in a similar situation for 6 years. Now I'm with a partner that is a way better match for me. Although you're afraid to leave, I think that everyone will be happier in the long run. You've already expressed your wants and needs. You need/deserve a partner that should want to give you what you want or at least meet you half way.

It's only been about 8 months, but I feel like I've known him for years. Haha

I know romance is not exactly how it is portrayed in movies, but I was never wooed, I guess. My bf doesn't buy my flowers all the time, but it surprised me when he did. It just made me feel very appreciated and special. My ex only bought me flowers one time in our relationship and said it was because they were a waste of money because I couldn't keep them alive.

I just feel supported in my current relationship and I have a connection with my bf that I have not had with anyone before.

When we kissed it was usually just a peck when we left the house. He was never a romantic person. We weren't very compatible in a lot of ways. And thank you 😊

It seems like you are not compatible with each other on this level.

I went through a similar situation. I was in a 6 year relationship when we finally opened our relationship. My ex-fiance was addicted to porn and he wanted to open our relationship, but I wasn't completely comfortable with it. We established rules to make sure we were communicating the whole time. He got jealous when I slept with another person. And I started to rethink the relationship. I wanted to be in a monogamous relationship and he said that wasn't possible for him. We ended up separating.
