My boyfriend and I have been together for two years. Up until about two months ago, everything was great between us. But right now, he is having a lot of family problems and money issues. I'm always trying to cheer him up and have fun with him so he isn't so stressed out, but whenever he's with me, he just sits there and pouts. Nothing I do seems to make him happy to spend time with me.
Then, yesterday, I was at his house and he and his friends were playing video games and he was having so much fun. He was laughing and talking and having a good time. It almost made me jealous because I never seem to make him happy like that anymore. I can't even remember the last time we had fun together like he was.
THEN I was playing his computer while they did that and I was looking through his pictures. Most were of us at homecoming and such and he has is art drawings, but then I found a hidden folder that had some pictures of other girls. One was naked. The date on the folder was recent too. That seriously broke my heart in two. It hurt me because it made me feel like I wasn't pretty enough for him that he had to look at those other girls. Again, another way I don't seem to make him happy. Normally, I don't give a shit if he looks at porn. Whatever, all guys do it. But right now it's different because lately I have given him a lot of opportunities for us to do intimate things, but he never wants to. So anyway, I pointed the pictures out and he said, "So you're going to be bitchy now because you saw those, huh?" That made me want to smack him. He acts like it's no big deal. If I had pictures of guys on my computer, he would be furious.
The only explanation I can come up with for this behavior is he's worried about me leaving for college in the fall. It's either that or he doesn't want to be with me anymore. This is really hard because I really do love him. He is everything to me, but I can't make him feel the same way.
What can I do to try to make things right?

If I were you I would hang out with my friends and only see him a couple days of the week to give him time. Maybe he just needs some of his guy friends to talk to and hang out ya know!? If that does not work, you two might just be growing apart. I know you do not want to hear that but it may be true. I would definitely break up with him before he has the chance to cheat on you. That is may be why he does not want to be intimate with you, maybe there is another girl. From the way it seem as far as how he talks to you maybe it is a good idea to end it. There are going to be a lot more guys out there that could better suite your needs.
