I love my boyfriend of 1.5 yrs, I truly do. I no longer feel as cherished or appreciated, I feel like I’m the only one sacrificing. I openly communicate this and am assured of change, which never lasts. At what point do I stop trying, even if I love him?

I’d say sit him down and talk to him about it. Say what you said here and be earnest and polite. As men, we often times are very subdued and restrictive with our emotions. Especially when we feel people will use them against us. Keep that in mind. So talk to him and really reach deep and help him understand how you feel. You can do it.

There’s a lot that could go into this, and many factors at play. I would say, make sure everything is alright with him; no depression or overwhelming stressors. Make sure the changes you want from him are measurable and realistically achievable, and help/gently push him to make small changes over time. Men can suck with actually being open, because most of us have had our emotions weaponized against us at some point in time. Lastly, people don’t know what they have until they lose it
