Search Results: showing they care

I'm talking about things like if your child doesn't want to give you a foot massage, it doesn't mean that they don't love you. Mainly because every child have different ways to show their parents that they care. Forcing children into showing affection to their parents (or sibling) is just going to make things worse and they will end up gradually hating you (even if you're their parents)

my boyfriend has always been showing that he doesn't really care about me, by not asking stuff about my life etc. so i brought it up and i expected him to address my needs and he just said "its not natural for me to ask questions, im just weird". and it ends there. so i got angry and told him i want a boyfriend who will change for me and try to fulfil my needs. he told me that he is tired as he had to change a lot for me over the short period of time of 8 months. honestly in the past when i asked him to change they werent unreasonable stuff like "dont eat meat". it was stuff that matters in a relationship like "dont lie", "dont neglect me because of your other female friends", "dont be insensitive and point out my flaws". those are basic things i expect and need in a relationship, along with him showing that he's actually interested in my life. but now he's telling me he doesn't want to try anymore because he changed too much for me and is tired. i asked him if he wants a break for a while to replenish his energy and he said "so that u can endlessly drain my energy again?". is this all my fault for asking him to change? why am i not worth just that little effort to change. i want to be with him but at the same time, i dont want to compromise these things that matter to my happiness. what should i do?
