Should I Take A Break With My Boyfriend?

Question

I need some advice. My boyfriend and I have been dating for almost 2 and a half years, and recently I've been wondering if he's really the one for me. He is unemployed (for about 6mo.) , and hasn't had much initiative to go out and apply to places, nor does he really want to go to college to improve his field of study.

Also, whenever we're around, he treats me like I'm one of his guy friends, like showing me snapchat stories of other guys and their parties, and showing me inappropriate things on Instagram. He never comments on how beautiful I am when I send him pictures of myself, and he never posts WCWs of me on Instagram. He used to be the sweetest man in the world and would do anything for me and do anything I wanted to do, like roller skating and going to the mall.

But now all we do anymore is eat fast food, and watch TV at his place and it's taking a toll on our bodies, and we have both equally gained weight. I love him even though I'm disappointed with him, so I'm iust wondering if I should take a break from him and see what happens or just ride it out?

Answer

I think you've reached the point where you want to grow as a couple and he seems satisfied where he is. I'd express what you told us to him. Hold him accountable for changing and if he doesn't and you're not okay with it---there's your answer. He seems like he takes you for granted and its normal for you to want more from him.

Best of luck lady ❤️

Answer

First of all, you should communicate these things with him. Let him know how you feel about your relationship, it's not wrong to feel down or confused about what you want.

Answer

I would like to first start off by saying, don't let social media destroy your relationship. Just because he doesn't post photos of you on social media doesn't mean he doesn't love you. My boyfriend hasn't posted one of me since month 3 of our almost one year relationship. You have to talk to him, because the lack of communication in itself will ruin your relationship. Many boys lack the knowing of when to call their girlfriends beautiful. My boyfriend I know thinks I'm beautiful, but just isn't sure how to say it. The only thing I can really say to you is talk to him. If he doesn't change or shuts out your opinion, then he may not be  For you.

Also, I'm a firm believer in no breaks. Breaks do not help, it just teaches you how to be away from your S/O

Answer

Please exit your Eve app, go to your boyfriend, and repeat everything you just told us. Men are odd creatures, he won't know you feel this way until you actually say it out loud. And who knows, maybe he is feeling a similar way? Try and fix things. ☺️

Answer

Have you talked to him about this? It sounds like you both need a change of pace.
