if you're getting none of that in return then it's time to figure out what u want and if u still want him in ur life or not

You just described a child bestie; sounds like it’s best to leave

i’m a person who loves having alone time. he just thinks we need to call 24/7 and that i need to stop doing what i’m doing to tend to him because he doesn’t have any friends to talk to and I do feel guilty. it’s just draining to have to give in to his expectations because he always wants more and he reposts all these sad tiktoks about how he hates life and i just feel trapped asf 🥲

Communicate your feelings first and explicitly state your needs—if he’s not willing to meet those needs and/or disregards your feelings then drop him bc you shouldn’t have to beg to be an equal partner

you’re right. i just feel like he has injected himself into my life so much, hes getting an apartment with my gay bestfriend (they grew up together), and months into dating he decided he was going to go to my college instead of his previous choice. it makes me feel trapped and idk what to do

u r not trapped, u r not on their lease, and if u don't like him in ur life then he doesn't have to be there

imo he’s not in the right mental state to be in a relationship. at the very least i say communicate with him first, but at the same time i would just say break up. you can’t walk on eggshells around him and you shouldn’t sacrifice your time just to be there for him. it’s not healthy for him or you and he needs to work on himself before he gets in a relationship
