Search Results: what girls want in bed

Hello, my relationship is about 2 years long with my boyfriend. At the beginning, he was lying to me a lot about important things along with doing suspicious stuff like giving another girl his jacket (he didn’t find that action in itself wrong, he viewed it as being a helpful friend), and romantic history. I didn’t know that he was lying then, and thought our relationship was going great even though I was a little more emotional during that time. He came clean because one of his friends told me 10 months in, and he apologized for his actions.

Not to sound narcissistic, but I have done a lot for him that he doesn’t appreciate. I have given him gifts and food, not expecting anything in return. I gave him oral and was waiting patiently until he was ready to do the same for me. I had a confrontation with him about not feeling appreciated enough in bed since I do what he wants and even got on birth control he wanted for him. He said he expresses his gratitude in other ways, but all I can respond to that is “how” since he doesn’t do anything outside of the bedroom as well besides hanging out and maybe food here or there.

I also haven’t been the best partner myself recently because I had to contact a male friend he hates to do some heavy lifting at my mom’s house. He was upset that I took that opportunity “away from him” whereas I’ve been asking him everyday on when he’d come but didn’t give me any response to that. He hates every male friend I have, and always makes me feel bad for wanting to hang out with them especially if I haven’t seen them in a while. Is it normal to feel like I haven’t been appreciated enough? He tells me he’s not good enough as well when I try to discuss things of this nature, and I’m tired of it. I’m not sure on what to do because every time I just want reassurance, he makes me feel bad for asking by playing the victim card and turn the tables so it can be about him.

I recently reconnected with an old acquaintance through tinder (we had met a few times before because we had mutual friends). We matched about a week ago and have been talking since. At first, I thought we were just going to have a short conversation, and then let things die out, but things actually progressed and we went from talking on tinder to talking on Instagram and went from texting to sending voice messages, which I thought was a good sign because if he didn't want to talk to me I don't think he would do that (he even went as far as sending me a picture of his face saying good morning a few days ago). I'm just saying this so you understand that this isn't a situation where he's being dry and I'm just not taking the hint. Here's the thing, he usually takes a few hours to text back, but today he hasn't texted back at all (last I sent him was a voice message this morning responding to something he had told me last night after I had gone to bed). I didn't really think much of it, just thought he might be busy, until an hour ago, that I got on Instagram and realized he had posed a story on his profile, but still hasn’t texted me back so I don’t know how I should take that.
