Problems I can see:
1. Never does anything romantic besides buying me flowers.
2. Holding hands with him is more of a play than something meaningful, like for example he just makes faces and pretends to bite my hand rather than show affection.
3. Complains all the time so I feel like I’m walking on eggshells and dancing around his every need. He doesn’t like “wet food” like mashed potatoes that I made, soup that I made him when he was sick, etc. has very annoying eating habits in general so it feels like making a toddler eat his vegetables. He “can’t sleep” and requires no touching, a mask, nose magnets, and so on. Every morning complaining about how little he slept while I just keep quiet (I always give him the best pillow even though my neck hurts and my tmj acts up). Sometimes I feel like he wants to be the centre of attention all the time and keeps coming up with ways to make it about him.
4. And most important – he likes martial arts. It would be fine but he keeps playfighting with me. At first it was fun, then it got annoying quick. Like taking my hand into a hold and applying pressure to joints, hitting me with legs like in karate or some shit (which is not painful but I hate it). I told him to stop and after awhile he keeps doing it anyway. Again, like a toddler who won’t listen.
5. Spends so much time talking about himself I barely talk about my own interests and hobbies. He doesn’t like tennis “because unlike martial arts it’s useless and just hitting a ball with racquet”.
Things I like: at least keeps his house clean and looks attractive.
TL;DR: I suspect that he doesn’t respect me and I don’t know if he doesn’t know how to show it or actually doesn’t like me.
