Girl ur so amazing and u don’t deserve to be anxious and sad this way and if I were a guy and a bf I would be so sad if I made my girlfriend feel like this. It’s a struggle but a relationship is work and it can’t just be you suffering while he puts in no work to fix himself. Women everyday do things they don’t want/like to do and he shouldn’t be doing this to you. U deserve the best and do something you like to take ur mind off!

I dated someone who was avoidant and I’ve been both avoidant and anxious myself. if the two of you have mutually exclusive needs, then the unfortunate but mature solution is to be honest about how you feel and how you think he feels.

Ask him what is going on and if he doesn’t stop resenting you then just leave that is it

you don’t sound happy and that’s reason enough to end it. if your family asks just tell them you’re not open to talk about it and try and change the subject

we’ve talked about it. he’s a typical avoidant and he said doesn’t like talking about his feelings which i already knew. but it’d be nice to hear from him more than once a day, you feel me? i’m not sure it’s enough to break up over i guess?

In my opinion if it’s making you depressed it is a Vaild reason to leave Your mental health is more important than a relationship

I don’t think your perceiving it wrong if you could come to the conclusion that things are not going well
