Boundaries
Hello everyone. Hope you guys are having a wonderful weekend.
The past few days havent been great for me. With that said, I had an argument with my boyfriend because I was having a tough time and would really appreciate him coming over to rub my back and console me. But he said he couldn’t because he’s setting boundaries like he can’t always be there whenever I want him to because that’s just life.
Then he said he’s doing the best, but if I want better I could find someone << it is implied like that. I was hurt and I said, so its okay for u to set boundaries but not me telling you about my relationship needs? I was truly hurt by this, extremely. I don’t know what to do. I just said sorry and just stopped talking to him for a bit because of how I feel and I’m already having a lot of other things on my plate.
Never be sorry for expressing how you feel. Expressing yourself is apart of communication which is needed in every relationship. I hope your days get better and you get what's on your plate worked out.
Thank you. I needed this. You have a great day as well.
@optimisticZebra4676 I understand that this must be very hard for you at the moment. You desire to be loved in your relationship but it seems you are not getting your feelings reciprocated.
I know it will not be easy but finding the courage to look past the hurt and embrace the happy moments is always a good first step in ensuring we start healing from the pain.
Your boyfriend may not actually feel the same way that you feel about him but your happiness should not always depend on how he validates your feelings, so ensure you do not let this hurt you but turn this weakness into a strength and just be certain that things will get better with or without your boyfriend in your life.
It is indeed quite hard for me to even think about. Also, what do you mean about my boyfriend may not actually feel the same way I feel about him? Does it mean he does not like me the way I like him?
