Affection and attention

Amanda

A little rant about my current situation

So...I’ve been dating my current boyfriend for about 10 months now. And we just graduated high school in June. So life for the both of us is officially starting considering we both want to wait for the whole college/ school thing.

Anyways

He used to be super affectionate. Always gave me hugs and kisses all over my face and compliments. Random “I love yous” throughout the day and always found ways to make me smile and blush and shit...

Lately he hasn’t been doing that... like it’s been almost 2 months and I’ve told him 2-4 times about how he’s been acting and he just stays quiet about it... it hurts and I told him everything and how I feel and to me it just seems like he hears me but he just does nothing with the information...

I don’t know if I’m over reacting but it just feels like he’s not interested or anything like that in me anymore... as if he’s bored with me and he’s just waiting for me to break off... he tells me he loves me but it’s like he doesn’t show it as much... he’s a good man, he’s helped me through so much and he’s always there for me but the lack of affection and attention is really hurting the most. As if he doesn’t want to pay me any mind or even look my way sometimes... yesterday I had a break down because of it and he said he was going to go because he said he wasn’t helping... then I yelled saying I told him everything that was wrong and he wasn’t doing anything with it. And even after that he STILL just sat there silent and fidgeting on his phone. I was trying to keep my cool but it’s very difficult for me... so after an hour of silence and a mix of tears and anger, I let him go home. I didn’t want him out in the rain.

(A little note)

The kind of affection and attention I want is the same amount I give him. I always shower him in hugs and kisses, compliments every second I can and an abundance of I “love yous”. I always tell him he looks good and smells nice because he actually does.

When we talk I always give him attention, even when we call on FaceTime and he’s playing a game and I’m doing something, I always look at him or make sure I can see him to make sure he’s okay. I always check to see if he’s okay because we are people and sometimes we get into moods.

But almost 2 months without any of that... fucking hurts and telling him, yelling and crying to him because of it isn’t doing anything idk what will...

He says he’s just processing it but I told him there’s nothing to really process because I told him exactly what I wanted and what was wrong, I told him how to fix everything and he’s still buffering of it. It’s all frustrating...
