It’s something I’ve kinda struggled with in my current relationship and not sure what to do. They told me that I probably love them more than they love me. And it kind of hurt hearing that. I kind of felt like not putting in the effort. Not because love is transactional, but I haven’t felt as fulfilled, but I assumed they were trying and felt similar to how I felt. Life is hard, but it’s okay. I will try any way I can.
That comment made me feel like that isn’t true. So I do plan on talking to him about it.
To preface when he said this, it was around him starting his period and having a bad pain day, and I took care of the dishes and made I was there for him in any way I could.
When I’m feeling down or bad, I’m left to fend for myself or very minimal attention. I never want to be angry. I hide my emotions, but I’ve gotten so frustrated by him. It feels like he doesn’t love me, but says it in words only. He wants to try and has expressed it, but it doesn’t seem like he is actually putting in effort
