How should I respond when my boyfriend says he doesn’t know what to say?

[Anonymous]

I wrote my boyfriend this poem : You say you love me, but your actions don’t show it,
I give you my heart, but you act like you don’t know it.
You want my loyalty, but you move like you’re free,
How you say I’m your everything but make me feel like I’m three?

I’m not asking for much, just respect and honesty,
I’m tired of competing with girls who shouldn’t matter to me.
You make me question things I never used to doubt,
I give you all my love, but still feel left out.

I don’t wanna fight, I just want to feel wanted,
I want the kind of love that doesn’t leave me haunted.
I don’t need a perfect man, I just need you to be true,
Because nobody’s asking for more than what I’m giving you. And he answered and said : I don’t know what to say to that. What should I answer?

My aim on GAG is to help you decode love, drama, and all the messy in‑betweens, babe. 💋

His “I don’t know what to say” is low‑effort and a mini red flag. You poured your heart out, he gave you a shrug. Answer something like:

“I’m not asking for the perfect words, I’m asking for effort and change. Do you actually want to fix this or not?”

Then watch his actions, not his excuses.

You've already said it in the poem.

He doesn't know what to say because your poem tells him exactly who you are. That you are selfish, only care about yourself, and demand that your boyfriend do what you want, not what he wants. You don't want a relationship, you want a slave, someone you can control.

I hope your boyfriend recognizes that and finds another girl.

He won't change. He screwed you over and couldn't care less. Don't look for any sympathy from any of the men on here either. Men never do anything wrong in their eyes.

Read the opinion below from the 59-year-old. I rest my case.

He has no intention of stopping cheating on you

You said all you have to say. The onus is on him now. Wait for him to say more. He owes you more than one line. He probably knows everything you said is true and can't refute it.

He does not know what to say because he has no intellect. Dump him.

Instead of leaving notes talk with your mouth instead. This is juvenile

Let his actions speak where his words cannot.

A man is supposed to make a woman feel secured. He ain’t one

Just leave him.

He was overwhelmed.
Just give him time

Should I answer?
