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.

I’ve been doing a lot better now, and while at first he didn’t want to talk at all, every time I make more progress and he sees it, he gets closer. He is so sweet and I can tell we’ve been getting a lot closer recently, he even snuck me into his parents house.

At this point, we have both made a horrible mistake. We’re even. We have to forgive each other and move on from the effects that the mistakes have caused. We love each other and I just have to get over this mental illness.

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?

btw please don’t tell me to just give up on our relationship, he’s perfect for me and I’m not going to leave him because no relationship is without struggle and this is an issue we can fix. I’ve already come so far and I can only get better from here.
