I am 18F with a 18M boyfriend, we have been dating for 2years , and we still get into a lot of fights which we end up solving. But since the last few months i have been feeling really unloved , like there is a lack of love .
My boyfriend doesn’t really calls me anymore, or give me flowers or anything for that matter , never once planned a date or gave a surprise just because he loved me , and before it didn’t bother me as i had different thoughts about relationship and he was 15 so i didn’t expect a 15year old to take me on dates (he is 5months younger than me) , but as i am growing up , i want to feel pampered and maybe a few roses or compliments out of nowhere sounds nice . But he doesn’t get it , i have tried multiple times explaining him about my wants and needs , but he just nods along and never work on it and we have had 2-3 massive arguments over it , and he says i have anger issues, instead of working on things he promised he would.
But last week i have a really bad breakdown , i cried like crazy on the call with him , telling him this isn’t going to work and “i can’t play these dumb relationship tactics, i love deeply and you aren’t mature enough for that” and i think that did something to him , or idk because he started calling more , but last night i slept early and didn’t pick his calls and today i had puja (ekadasi it’s a hindu fast where you don’t eat or drink ). But he still called me angrily and said pretty mean stuff , like “how selfish i am and how i only take revenge because this is exactly how he used to treat me ” and here i am confused about few things first “i literally didn’t do anything, was just simply occupied, second i can’t fight or argue today as i literally cant drink water or eat and i don’t have the energy or mood to do so , third if this is how you treated me in the past , then maybe held your accountable first ??
But instead of creating a scene , i simply told him “you can think whatever you want , i don’t wish to argue more” and he somehow got more pissed at that and said some more stuff and left , tbh i don’t feel sab anymore or bad , there is this loneliness lingering but it’s alright ig .
Should I call him? And sort it out?
And thank-you for reading this long ass passage ðŸ˜

I’ve been with my 18M boyfriend for 2 years. Lately, i feel unloved and emotionally neglected. Despite telling him your needs, he doesn’t change and instead blames you. After a big breakdown, he started trying a bit, but got mad when you missed his call during a religious fast. Now i feel emotionally drained and unsure if i should call him to fix things.

It’s immature but you’re eighteen. If you’d like to be an adult about it, leave him. You’re clearly unhappy and nothing’s improving.
Honestly what your asking is bare minimum in a relationship and maybe he doesnt know or have the capacity to give you that. Youve communicated what you want, you even laid down a boundary by saying you dont want argue anymore. Has he communicated what he expects or needs from the relationship? Sorry not an answer but an observation
