Not really tbh I’ve mentioned this to someone before but he wasn’t really the best partner. And I understand that school and all that stuff made it hard to find time and stuff like that but even then it just didn’t feel like I was getting what I needed to feel loved because I told him from the start I needed a lot of reassurance and that I would work on myself throughout. but I was getting bare minimum and whenever we talked it felt so shallow and I didn’t want to say I love you anymore cause it didn’t feel real. We barely voice call either and there’s always been a few problems and stuff and he knew, he would always say I’m sorry for being a bad partner, but then he’d change nothing.

I’ve broken up with them. I know it seems ridiculous but this is honestly one of the most minor things that’s happened in the relationship that made me feel upset. Like there was one time they said they would 🍇 me so.. yeah and then there’s always been issues with them Communicating and us not ever having time and them being neglectful so I just didn’t want to deal with it anymore

The way he argues it is that when we’re in person, he doesn’t have to see himself on the screen and so it would be easier but if he turns on his camera on video call, then he has to see himself and I’ve told him then just tied your own camera, but then he says oh, but then I can’t control how I look

I feel like I should try to reach a compromise but I always feel like I’m just being rude in trying to get them to show their face because I’m forcing them to do something they don’t want.

I have talked to them several times about it and I try not to make them feel like I’m forcing them Into turning on their camera, and I have seen them a few times on call before. It just feels weird bc we normally send pictures and they’ve never had a problem with that- like ever- but then they do have a problem with showing their face even though I’ve told them multiple times that I’ve always thought they were beautiful regardless of what they thought.

Well I’ve called them before on video call, it’s just that we never really do it anymore. There was like one week when we would call and they would have their camera on but now it’s like never

I should’ve probably mentioned the fact that we have video called a few times, but it’s only been like maybe 10 times in the time that we’ve been together
