Q: helloo :]]
bear with me, i know everyone's
question on here is like this but eh.
well, me and my boyfriend have been
going out for about 10 months but our
relationship slowly started going
downhill about 2 months ago. we rarely
see eachother or talk to eachother. i
always have to txt him or call him. he
never calls me or txts me anymore and it
just doesnt seem like he's putting effort
into this relationship. i wanna start over
with him but he's put me through so confusion and hurt. im just wondering what your
opinion is on all of thiss. thanks :]
Hi!

Let me ask you this: What kind of relationship do you two have if you're the only one who is doing the work? That's not fair to you. You're the only one who is calling, and texting. The more you do this, the more he expects it. He knows that you're going to call, so why should he? You've got to be the bigger person and make the decision.

Here's what I would do:

Call him and set him straight right away. You want to find out what he's thinking about this relationship, yes? Ask him what's going on and why your relationship isn't strong anymore. Tell him that you're doing everything you can to make this work, and if he wants to continue being in a relationship with you, he has to commit to you and call every now and then. You're not asking that he calls you every day and sees you every weekend, but you want him to spend time with you once in awhile. By doing this, you're making sure you get the point across and let him know that he needs to get on track because you're not going to put up with that shit anymore. And why should you?

One word that stood out to me in your post what HURT. How did he hurt you? It hurts you that he doesn't put forth any effort anymore? Tell him that. It's important for him to understand where you're coming from. It's things that he needs to know.

If he still seems like he doesn't care, you'll know what to do. It's up to you to decide if you want to be with him or not. My opionion? I'd leave him because it's not worth it.

Good luck.

ahh thanks soo much :]]]
