How to make my boyfriend feel wanted?
Ever since the quarantine I’ve been going through some stress. Stress with myself & my relationship. I’ve been dealing with anxiety & focusing on how to overcome that. However, also my relationship has been suffering.
I had noticed that my bf & I have been arguing a lot more lately, over little stupid things. On top of that we haven’t been having sex at all. I’ve been thinking a lot of the issues has been coming from us being together every single day, but not too sure. So, I said we needed to have a talk. To make a long story short yesterday he told exactly how he’s been feeling, which I had no idea, he was feeling that way.
He told me that, on top of us not having sex, when we do have sex he’s the only one always initiating it (which is true, & it’s not that I don’t want to initiate, I just don’t know how). He also told me that he’s never feeling wanted, he said I’m not affectionate, or compassionate, that every time he touches me I’m always laughing & ticklish. I had no idea I was coming off that way, it almost made me cry.
He then said when we get into arguments & I get mad I just get quite, and don’t say anything to him, then he’s always the one apologizing. If he never told me these things I would have never known, I had no idea this is how I was coming off to him.
I love my boyfriend dearly, I do. I eventually want to get married & start a family. I feel like I show my love in other ways (when I buy him things, cook for him etc.), but now I know that’s not enough. How can I be more affectionate, show compassion & overall just make him know 100% that I love him & that I want him on the daily?
