Why did my boyfriend do more for his ex than he does for me? (Page 2)

Question

He says he wants to but can’t seem to get himself to, I believe him but it’s difficult for me. I’ve brought up multiple times that I want and need him to do more romantic and thoughtful things for me, and I feel like he tries. But just recently I brought up his past very serious ex, and how he did so much for her of his own volition without her asking him. But I ask and feel like I’m begging but it feels like nothing happens. And he agrees that he did do more and if I remember correctly he said that she didn’t have to ask. I am feeling really sad and disappointed. I know he loves me and that he is over his ex but I am feeling awful and don’t know what to think or do.

Guys detest comparisons. The more you compare, the more he'll hold back. The more ask for something, the more you're undeserving in his mind.

Its really annoying you keep bringing him his past up.

Wise4myage · Answer

I think its time for you to move on, because he clearly hasn't gotten over her yet.

It’s either he’s scared to get hurt again after offering so much or he still likes his ex

Give him some time. Tbh it sounds like he is still processing a bit of depression.

Two reasons he's afraid of getting hurt again his heart broken again and second he could be possibly burned out or an age gap and not sure how your parents would feel if they knew you were dating him

DreamLife7 · Answer

He doesn't like you. What don't you get? Lol. Men are very capable of giving who they want to give to. You're not what he wants.

Break up with him. Or continue to accept less than you want to.

Staximus · Answer

Why are you bringing up the past and dragging him through the mud? Love him or leave him.

There's something she did that you're not doing... but hmmm what ever could it be?

He still loves her and it's hard for him to forget the past.

This scene in the Mask changed things for me too

Minahh · Answer

If you have to beg him to do something, he ain't for you

blackcowboystudbrady · Answer

He obviously thinks less of you than his ex, so plainly tell him that if he doesn't value you more, bye, bye, boy !!!

riverrat3 · Answer

Maybe he invested a lot and lost, and feels that he may do the same again. Pe patient if you think he is worth it. Rebound romance is tough.

krin_m · Answer

Good that you talked to him. Figure out a solution together.

After a heartbreak people seem to be more guarded and bring less in future relationships. That's actually very common.

Aiden_111 · Answer

I don't know maybe that was his first love that's why he did more for it.
