Search Results: scared of cheating

Is there ever a time where it's too LATE to say "I love you"? It's been going on almost a year and a half--and he keeps claiming he only sees me "as a toy" (but his actions speak louder than words)! He also asked if I had feelings for him; which I SAID I liked him a lot. Since then, he's acted a lot "nicer" and more worried about it ending etc. I'm scared that my friends with benefits/casual boyfriend can't truly love someone because he witnessed a divorce... and each parent remarrying, as well as his brother getting married (who now avoids him).

His past girlfriends have been short-lived, cheated on him OR acted like they really didn't want sex with him anymore! He's also kinda has a BAD reputation; so it's really hard for him to hold on to a girl for more than a few months... but with me--it's standing the test of time. He only seems to know how to use people. Now, if anything we're "using each other" or so it looks like that from HIS point of view. To my family, it looks like he's my actual boyfriend etc.

In reality, I'm in love with him. I feel like telling him I loved him will scare him off. That being said--I feel like he needs to know someone cares about him. It's kinda like a service in which we have sex with each other and it makes us happy... BUT I have similar interests with him... I don't know what to do. I'm NOT going to end this because it's still pretty fulfilling for me :) ! Neither of us really want marriage--EITHER. So, has it gone on too long to tell him how much I really love him?

Sometimes I feel like my boyfriend just doesn't get me, and honestly, it makes me feel really insecure and doubtful about us sometimes. We've only been together a couple months so I thought it'd be different once he got to know me, but nothing's really changed.

Today on the phone he said sometimes my puns are "a little too much." When I told him almost all my close friends and I laugh over my puns and I laugh over theirs, he responded with "are you sure they're not one sided?" And even though we were kinda joking around, it hurt my feelings. I literally had to ask my friends weather or not they thought my humor was dry and annoying (like my boyfriend seems to think) and they all replied no! I even went back to texts with my guy friends, one of them frequently complimented me on my analogies and humor.

Maybe I'm too sensitive but it seems like my boyfriend and I just aren't compatible sometimes. And tbh I'm kind of scared he'll cheat on/leave me, especially with a certain girl, because I foind out he used to like her, he hangs out with her all the time, and I see that their connection is better than ours. He laughs at her jokes like he never laughs at mine and I don't know what to do besides get over it. Is it wrong for me to consider this a dealbreaker?
