Sometimes It feels like I'm the only one trying in my relationship with my boyfriend. He lacks in calling me & texting me & he often forgets about everything. He says he cares about me , that he wants to make sure I'm happy but instead of being happy I'm upset almost every day & I getting sick of bitting my tounge and prettending like everythings fine when in reality it isn't. He's in college & I understand college is diffrent from highschool but it feels like I'm his sidechick . I know he loves me and I'm certain he's not cheating on me he's just really busy. I've had these conversations with him & have often tried telling him how I feel. But sometimes he makes me feel like he seriously does not care..I just don't know what to do anymore I really don't want to look at leaving him as an option I care a lot for him and I really want to see us work out..how can I express myself more to him in a way that will get him to listen?

and keeping everything your feeling to yourself he'll probably understand that's your best option
seeing as you don't want to leave him if for some reason things don't work out you still know that you tried trying is better then not doing anything
at all and regretting it later since your in a relationship with him you should be able to tell one another anything and be able to trust him it's worth a shot to try and talk to him again you maybe surprised at how things turned out unlike the other times you tried
