Search Results: she is confusing me

I’ve had enough of this guy, I’m so fed up with the way that he’s treated me. We were more than friends then he friendzoned me because I found out he lied about his identity but then started calling me pet names and flirting but then pulling back if I engage at all. I want to say this to him:

“Hey so this has been feeling forced as fuck to me since about September when you double sent that towel selfie to me. I may act dumb, but I see you and I know this isn’t just about me knowing who you are.

It’s become obvious to me that our definitions of friendship don’t align and I’m tired of the confusing behavior. I’ll be spending my time on people who are authentic and don’t expect me to read minds or pretend I don’t know their name from now on.

Take care!”

Is this too much? Any feedback is appreciated!

So, recently talking to my bestie, she and I realized how both our boyfriends tend to lack empathy.

My boyfriend is so stubborn that he isn't wiling to yield on certain things, or, even consider that he could be in the wrong. It has resulted in fights between us, ending with him being confused. I ask him questions like "if you were in my shoes, and I said that to you, how would that make you feel?"... and he then will come to realization, and apologize, or at least meet me halfway.

Do you think its possible to make someone more empathetic?
