I have told him I miss him, and I’d like to do things with him, but most of the time he declines.
My boyfriend and I have been together for eight years. We live separately, and I live with my son. The problem is my boyfriend says he loves me but doesn’t seem to like spending time with me. He would rather mow my lawn than spend that same amount of time just hanging out with me.
What hurts my feelings is that he tells me about all the projects he wants to do without me. He even tells me about trying to find things to do with his time. If I try to explain how I feel about this, he exaggerates and says that if I had my way, I’d have all of his free time. I feel lonely and undesired. I think I should end the relationship, but I am afraid I will never find someone else and that what little I have is better than being completely alone. I don’t know how to have a real conversation with him without him getting angry with me. Please help me figure this out.Has it occurred to you that being so dependent on him may be what has caused him to distance from you? My first suggestion is to find a friend to walk with you.
