My boyfriend never brings me anywhere with him. He won't come to things with my family and also won't invite me to family events. Is this normal?

My boyfriend goes on lots of trips with his friends and runs lots of errands during the week. He'll visit relatives, do projects, have family dinners, and go on vacations with other friends to the beach.

However, I'm never invited. He will say "how was your day?" when he returns and during the week. But I feel like he almost excludes me from his life? Or keeps me separate or at arms length. He likes to have me over only about once a week & more than that it seems he's bothered or he postpones.

A second thing is that he says he's an introvert, therefore, he likes the rest of the week to have his space and work on projects. However, he's also on social media a lot, so it really confuses me that he keeps me on a bit of a longer leash.

I'm a really bubbly girl, love to laugh, and am extroverted, but I feel like he doesn't recognize this? He never laughs at my jokes or really replies to them, even over text. It's almost like he never wants to spend "special" time with me. But he claims he does by just hanging out with me. When I say I feel alone, he says that we do plenty and that i'm being over-sensitive. He also won't really come to events with my family or always comes up with excuses.

Every time I say I don't feel loved I feel a bit unheard. What should I do? Does he not like me? thanks!
