feeling down once more
why am i doing this to myself? To him? I treat my boyfriend so so poorly. I still can't seem to figure out if I truly love my boyfriend or not. I'm so tired, so weak, to tired of trying to be happy. I get so easily offended by anything he says, I can't stand him pointing out my flaws, eventhough he always tries to say them in a way that he wants to help me, to be sweet and sometimes he just jokes a bit. He keeps telling me he loves me with them but i can't stand him seeing them. I'm so dramatic... I go from lovey dovey feelings to 'maybe i don't even like him anymore'... I don't want to leave him. It wouldn't make me feel any better. It's a problem I have but i'm having so so much trouble to find that loving place in my heart for him. I keep feeling fear and anger towards him for nothing... I just want to be accepted completely but i can't seem to accept him being different from me. What is wrong with me... he keeps trying and i keep relapsing. I had the most wonderful holidays with him, feeling truly in love. But now.. I feel fear and anxious... I don't want to feel like this anymore... It feels like i've lost all love for him and I hate it. I want to love him so badly... but i'm dissapointed that some expectations aren't fulfilled... Like him not really trying to get to know me anymore (but that's probably because i talk about myself 24/7 to him) he doesn't need to ask. I tell him everything anyway. And i try to analyze him. I just don't know what's wrong with me. My image of him is so distorted :s I don't see him for who he is anymore and I hate myself for it... My therapist says i have a longing to be completely accepted in every way and that him highly sensitive (this together with adhd and intrusive thoughts...) I'm not the person i wanted to be... Is it the relationship? or my self-esteem? or just me being weak and pathetic? Why am i not strong enough to fight this, why do i have such a need for drama... I hate it when he tells me i'm dramatic (but that's only when i talk about how i feel about the relationship) He loves me... but i don't feel loved, I don't feel wanted, I feel like a burden... although he's always superpositive and happy to see me and never even mentioned it... What should I do? I'm so tired... I can't reach my loving feelings for him anymore and it scareds me
I bet its hard on you, but i dont think you are pathetic or anything, you can try spending a little more time with him or maybe even talk to him about that fold out all ur cards on the table, hoensty is important in relationships.

Polly1994, in my opinion, if someone loves you, they dont point out your flaws. They should love you for you.
Thank you for your reply :) Well, it's not like he literally say thingslike: Hey, this and this is wrong with you...Change it. He never ever says it like that... He does say things like: Maybe you could try harder to not let the drama get to you, or jokingly he says: you're a bit lazy aren't you (when I indeed act lazy). In my head though, allI can hear is: 'WOW you are a complete drama queen, stop it now!' or 'You are so lazy, deal with it because it bothers me'
