My boyfriend is a good guy, but something is missing. I want to be loved deeply just how I love deeply. We’ve been together for over a year now. I thought the relationship would be different by now. I love with my all. I just want more effort and love.

I'm in the same boat. How do we escape?

I feel that. I was in the same situation. Things start to change, especially when you move in together. That’s when you see their true colors. I ended my past relationship because of that, and in a way, “woke up” if you will. Just learn more about yourself and what YOU want in life, and like #2 said, communicate those things. It’ll take time, many conversations, but whatever happens is meant to be:

LOVE YOURSELF MORE THAN YOU LOVE THEM. Take it from someone who just got out of a marriage. I held on with the same thoughts for years, hoping one day things would change and they never did. I know he loves me, but not in the depth that I need. Nobody is ever gonna love exactly the way you love that’s why you have to love yourself more than anyone else.

Talk to him about it. Never be scared to communicate your feelings

Instead of trying to escape why don’t you try to explain this to them that way they understand your perspective. Instead of you trying to escape, try to fix what you have

There is nothing to fix, she is not my person. I have not been dating her as long as OP has. However I doubt something like this can just change for her either if they've only been dating a year and it's always been like this.

I have talked to him about it. We always have conversations and arguments about it. Every time though he either says that’s just how he is since he’s an only child or that he’s trying. He did improve a little bit, but then he just stopped trying.

This is the best advice I’ve heard! I know that your “perfect person” might not exist, but sometimes you just want to be loved deeply. I do have love for myself, but I wish others loved the way that I do.
