My (sort of)boyfriend and I are on a break right now after a huge fight. We both promised each other that we are committed to growing and working on our issues by ourselves. Our relationship lasted a little over a year and a half, and the first half felt so natural and fun but the second half was full of arguments and fights.
We fought a lot because he made a mistake that caused me to just become more and more insecure until every minute he wasn’t spending with me felt like he was avoiding me out of hatred. I couldn’t trust him to do anything without me anymore, and it caused me to get upset with him every time he wanted to spend time even with his brother, because it felt like he was excluding me.
So the thing I wand advice on though is basically even though he’s so sweet in person when we hang out and I know he cares about me, he just doesn’t text me much. He doesn’t seem interested in things like how my day was or how I’m doing during it. I know we aren’t together right now so I can’t expect it but I want him to *want* to know what I’m up to, you know? How can I make him crave my attention the way I do his?
