I (have been with him for a little under three years when one day over the summer, whilst we were living together, he simply decided he did not want the dating title or responsibilities anymore. So I moved out, did my own thing. Since then, probably for the past four months we have done everything as normal, see each other on the weekends, see his family, all of the normal girlfriend duties, just last week we went on a road trip out of the country for a few days and had a lot of fun. We laugh, we joke, we cuddle, we have sex…He has told me we are exclusive in that department. And he tells me that he loves me pretty much on the daily now, he didn’t at first after the breakup. The problem is I’m really starting to feel emotionally unfulfilled with this pseudo relationship. I don’t feel I’m getting the support or commitment I need and my friends tell me he’s just getting his cake and eating it too. He tells me he wants to take things slow but I truly don’t anticipate him wanting to get back together, if he doesn’t have to.

Last night he was asking me why I was starting to be a bit distant and this morning I told him just that, I’m starting to feel emotionally unfulfilled with this ‘situationship’, at first it was enough because I could still see him, but lately not so much. Essentially he told me he can’t give me more right now and if I feel the need for ‘more, whatever that is’, I need to find it somewhere else. I know what this should mean for me, he is unwilling to make any changes to accommodate me but I hate to just walk away. I’m not sure why he sees it as we can stop talking to each other or get back together only, I just want him to listen to my needs and try to make an effort to accommodate them, god knows he has asked me to change many things over the years and I have always done my best. I also wish I could be content with what there is currently. Any advice?
