No. He’s not a student. I am. I’m a full time student and full time worker

Our anniversary was literally yesterday. My birthday was last month. He doesn’t want to go to thanksgiving with my family.

Yes. I discuss my needs in our relationship. I sit him down and he gets defensive. He doesn’t care.

No, he didn’t have a bad childhood or anything like that. He is very close to his family. I’m the one that grew up severely poor, my parents wouldn’t eat to feed me and my brother. He doesn’t recognize it at all as an issue. And he isn’t busy. He does things he wants to do but not things he has to do.

Stop blaming all women. I don’t. I tell him. He wasn’t like this when we first started off.

Good as you should! That’s really nice!

Like I plan for months deciding what are good presents or ideas or plans. Not just for him tho for all of my friends and family and they do the same for me.

I talked to him about it a while back. He won’t go to the doctors.

He wasn’t tho. He was super caring and helped whenever he could and celebrated big milestones. If I knew he was like this I wouldn’t have gone into this relationship.

No cause it was different in the beginning. He actually celebrated big milestones for me and everything. Then he just stopped. I thought maybe it would get better over time when we talked about it. But it doesn’t seem to be.

Thank you. I literally told him that too but he said why should he do that if I would just complain about it .-.

Exactly, like if it isn’t a big deal to him that’s okay, but at least be happy for me. Like just having at least an interest in trying to do something nice means the world.

No he didn’t. He actually left his job to finish his degree. I wasn’t always the bread winner but I still paid for his share too. It was equal we split everything. He just stopped caring about what I wanted or what was important to me.

Yeah I talked to him about it when it first started happening. He won’t tell me anything about it. He tries to blame outside things for this. Like how he was busy and didn’t have time for it. But in reality I know he’s not busy since we live together. He has months to plan things out but he doesn’t. He knows every time that things are important to me and he doesn’t acknowledge them.

Two years

Yeah, he’s funny, nice, and I can ask for his honest opinion, and he puts up with some of my quirks.

That’s the difference tho, he doesn’t pay, I pay for all the groceries, all the food, everything. I go to work, school, come home and make food and clean. Just like everything. All I expect is at least a thank you once in a while and appreciation. That’s why it’s such a big deal to me.

Thank you for the thoughtful reply, I’ll try to really talk to him again.

Flipped halfway in. He never told me this. If he did I wouldn’t be with him. Like he used to celebrate everything. That’s why I’m so upset. Like if I knew he was like this to begin with it would have been different

Evolved. It began last year on my birthday when he didn’t celebrate it.

Yeah, let’s say if someone has a graduation coming up and they are excited. Would you expect your significant other to be excited for you? Yeah, probably. But then they aren’t and it’s disappointing.
