Advice, Anniversary

Veronica

So today, me and my boyfriend have been dating for a year. Usually we would be hanging out by now. We usually hangout when we wake up. But there hasn’t been anything said about seeing each other today. I feel like I’m always the one having to bring up coming over or making plans with him. I don’t know why I have realized the little details today, but today is supposed to be special and I feel like this day is only serving a meaning to one person -me. We have been texting but nothing that has to do with seeing each other or about the anniversary. A couple of other things I realized today is that he doesn’t use emoji’s. In the morning when I wake up I text him good morning with an emoji. He responds without one back. Now I know this is kind of something that shouldn’t serve much meaning but it still bothers me. Another thing, when he says I love you, I always find myself having to say it first. I asked him to start calling me baby/babygirl/my love/princess, he even agreed and said he doesn’t do it enough and will do it more often but doesn’t. This was months ago when it was brought up to him and I still bring it up from time to time but no change or effort. Sometimes I also feel like when it comes to intimacy, most of the time I have to be the first to kiss him, touch him, hold his hand. I know some of these things might be stupid to be hurting me but they do and I think I deserve some effort and love. There are days when he is clingy and doesn’t want to let go but those days are rare ;(. Can you guys give me advice on what to do? I want to talk to him and tell him how I feel but today isn’t the day for it. I also want to see him but I don’t always want to be the first to attempt or make it clear that I’m trying to spend my time with him. Also do you think I’m overreacting? Or should I be feeling this way? I appreciate everyone who responds with their opinion. Thank you 😊
