Men view this as work. He thinks at this point in the relationship you should know he loves you. He's not controlling so don't expect him to watch over you like a lion defending his prey when you go out. You are both not seeing the other side of the argument. Try doing possitive forms of conflict resolution. Instead of getting upset. Tell him compliments and you'll be surprised that he starts putting in more work.
I do give him compliments. He just brushes them aside. Then i feel rejected. I try and initiate affection more around him, verbally and physically. But, he just rejects it a lot. So, i’ve stopped
Depression probably, try helping him send out applications for a better job. 5 a week tell he gets a pay raise. If you start a new job you don't have time to think depressive thoughts.
He got hurt really bad by another woman and is projecting how she treated him onto you.
Now if you were the other women, as in you two were together before & bad things happened & then you got back together it’d make sense for things to take time.
If you aren’t happy just move on.
Wow im in exactly the Same relationship calls her babe sexy eyes always commenting nice even had a glance at her inbox and fuk wish I didn't first message pops up hay miss your face not being the first message I've found but I do know if ur not happy get happy lifes to short to regret stupid feelings once you let go there's no turning back feel stronger and your independence shoots sky high no better payback returning there actions go out with friends surround urself around happy good vibes and positive friends
As your boyfriend he should be at least trying to listen to your issues, especially if they're about your relationship. If he gets mad whenever you bring these things up, he might just not have caught that yet. Try to convince him to talk about it, and if he still won't, he might not be the guy for you.
Well I'll give him credit he is right about being worse then the ex. As for what you should do that's leave for a week don't tell him where you're going just go to your parents or a friends and then see if he actually does care and if he does miss you an if he don't come looking you dumping his abusive arse.
I think it's a way to make you feel so insecure that you don't one day realize thayt you're better off without him. Very narcissistic thing to do
I often felt he was trying to make me feel insecure. It sucks a lot, because i just don’t feel appreciated or valued ! I did in the beginning, and then he changed.
Maybe this is one of those "love language" things and yours is just different then his. (His language is acts of service and yours is words of kindness.) But it seems more likely that he's just not the one for you and you need to find someone who's crazy about you and treats you like an angel :)
Overreacting is the first thing that comes to our mind which is most of the time wrong. People who overreact generally never feel they are overreacting. Tell me top 3 reasons to be with him or you like in him?
Learn not to need the constant reminders of affection. As that is going to only end up to continue to take a toll on you. Learn to take his words of affection more seriously and less of the actions on social media.
He sounds like the grounded in reality type and not one to get stuck in social media which is a good thing.
I would highly suggest you find a boyfriend that appreciates you. It's horrible for your self-esteem and it's not going to get any better
First of all am really sorry about your situation.
Coming to your problem it seems he doesn't cares about your presence in the relationship.
Its time you make him realise by showing him what can he feel if he sees someone else in his place.
Now there are various ways to do that. But you know him very well so pick such a move that will bring him close to you and also that would grow a fear in him about losing you which will bring him more close to you emotionally too.
I hope this works for you.
Maybe he has commitment issues or trouble expressing real emotion. Those other girls probably mean nothing to him so he says stuff. But when it comes to you, maybe he has a mental block. For instance, he doesn't want to make it awkward or feel like a "wuss" being romantic and making compliments. Is he a manly man type guy?
He doesn't love you anymore. He's with you because of sex only.
Leave him. Move on. You can get a good guy. Your self respect is most important.
Wow, that's so rude. What are his excuses for liking their pics but not yours? I mean it sounds like he can see both of yours and those girls' in his feed. It makes little sense.
Get a new boyfriend. Ur man should treat you like a queen and enjoy it at the same time. I have a girlfriend and I'm always finding new ways of telling her i love her 😊
Leave. You deserve appreciation and if he doesn't provide it. Find someone who will. You'll live much happier
You've already tried to discuss it with him and it didn't work. I would advise you to break up with him, but that's easier said than done.
If your unhappy leave him but not because friends or anyone else say you should. Guys are bad with compliments
Don’t rely on social media to fix your problems, and don’t settle for a guy who makes you feel less than you are.
Change boyfriends. Choose a man this time not a boy
