Ladies help me. I have been with my man for 3 years. I told him in the beginning I was not interested in being together for 5 years before getting married. We have known eachother for 15 years. We are best friends. But he never tells me I'm special or pretty. He only calls me "beautiful girl" and literally every few months. It's been since before Christmas. He told me a while ago he thinks there is someone better out there for us but he wants to be with me. We almost broke up over it. I told him last month that I want Valentines day to be special this year and show so effort. Not that I care really about Valentines Day but more so if he will put in effort and see if he "heard" me. He's not one for emotion or effort. That said do I just stay like this, and get over it or do I say good bye. I want to be a wife. I have kids that are getting more and more attached. We live in his house but when we almost broke up before he said we can stay. He has another property out of state he would return to. What do I do. I love him so much and he's wonderful but I dont feel loved or needed. I certainly don't feel beautiful. Am I asking to much to be told how he feels about me and that he thinks I'm pretty?
