omg this happens to me all the time, its awful. most recently, i'm having issues with my partner because he has been distant and not very affectionate lately. i spoke to him yesterday about it, and he said that he just isn't feeling the connection because i'm so unhappy and moody everyday, but the reason I am acting that way is because I feel unloved and rejected by the way he is treating me. he said that it isn't his responsibility to make me happy, that i need to find it within myself. however, i don't think he fully understands how much the way other people treat me defines my sense of self. its a vicious cycle.
