What would you do?
You’ve been with a guy you love for 6+ years, have a daughter and live together. Y’all have both made mistakes in the past so there’s a bit of broken trust. You work ideally well together as parents and with home duties etc. He has some good qualities that are rare to find in a man but he has a habit that you don’t really agree with but accept. He doesn’t ever really do anything out of the box or extra special to wow you. Sex life is at the minimum if at all. He does things with his own benefit in mind and not the effect it has on me, rather big or small. Not romantic and that’s what you want. You want to feel special and loved and have sex. You want to feel like he thinks about you. In some cases he does but in others he doesn’t in the areas where you would like most. I’m so confused because this man does good things for me, anything I ask he’d do or get. But if it’s romantic it’s a nahh, like he just doesn’t know how. It’s hard because I don’t wanna mistreat him or make myself look unappreciative or like he does ntn for me but it’s like he just isn’t the loving affectionate man I would like to have. Ex. Before the Christmas we talked about how I wanted a new phone and how he’d take mines and I get an more recent model, anyways I now find out he ordered a new phone for him last week and didn’t even mention it to me knowing I wanted one too. Kinda feels like a really selfish move and he does things like this when I always even just say oh I’m ordering or I’ll get things with him in kind.
