Love help: I really need to talk to someone about this–My boyfriend - Help.com

I really need to talk to someone about this–My boyfriend

and i are apart reassessing our feelings, but while i’ve been doing work on myself, examining if i really want him, going through a range of feelings for him (never excluding love) I dont see any evidence that he’s doing the same. This ‘break thing’ was his idea, but whereas im trying to be as constructive as possible, he’s just ignoring us. There are things i need to talk to him about - things that need to be said face to face- but its very tricky getting to talk to him at all. He doesnt communicate with me and when i call him, i have to be very careful to stay within the limits of the casual. He has an incredibly tight and heavy schedule so he doesnt have the time to meet face to face. meanwhile i have to bottle up everything i need so desperately to say to him. This is tearing me to shreds, im not looking after myself im listless all day and cant seem to concentrate on anything but how i feel towards Him. Im dreading the day when i open up facebook and see th word ’single’ enforced upon me. He said ‘go on a break’ through a facebook chatbox and i dont want to believe that he could be so cruel as to dump me publicly so that everyone else knew before me, but what he’s putting me through right now is cruel if he could only know it. He seemed to fall in love with me very quickly and although my feelings at the beginning of the relationship weren’t as strong as his, they blossomed over time. I dont know if he’s one of these shallow people whos feelings simply fizzle out given enough time - as far as i know im his longest relationship - i really dont know if he feels anything for me anymore. If i get into feelings over the phone, he’ll refuse to see me again. It hurts so much when he shows such disregard for me, because im in love with him, he’s made me so unhappy but he’s a really nice person who’s so genuine with his regular friends, if he would just give it a chance we could be great together.

From what you’ve said, he really doesn’t seem to be putting in the effort, therefore he doesn’t seem worth it. If you think that he’s not doing as much as you are, then he obviously doesn’t care enough.

but this is fairly typical for him, he’s not been gret at staying in touch with me since the end of the ‘honeymoon’ period. in the past, when iv pulled him up about it he’s put it down to his general lack of organisation, saying ‘i dont know why you equate my lack of organisation with your worth’. He can be a very deep thinker when he wants to be, if he would only put some of that thought towards us. He’s made me feel worthless for a long time and iv put up with him, tried and failed to get through to him becasue i love him.

that is not fear. You need atleast some timeframe…. how old are you both if I may ask?
What got me thinking. You say he made you feel worthless. was this before or after the break?
