I really dont know where to begin, I think, well I'm almost positive my live in boyfriend doesnt love me. Why am I still here? He has never said "I love you" without me pulling it out of him. He doesnt kiss me he doesnt hug, cuddle hold hands none of it unless I beg him to. I am always making excuses for it cuz I know him and his family for 27yrs. They are the most emotionless pps I have ever met, course now that I'm living with him i see way more. they have brought him up to be affaird to show love cuz if he ever did they laughed at him made a fool of him for acting as they call it cacky. He was that affaird of it he stayed with them till he was 36 now he's with me and I am so depressed with the lack of love from him, I'm here with him all the time and I'm so very lonely and broken hearted and confused. I don`t want to hurt him but I need to feel loved and good about myself. He doesnt even know how to say something uplifting to me. He doesnt say anything bad but nothing good either. I am so frustrated with talking to him about it nothing ever changes. I know I cant stay like this forever but how do I move on without hurting more and without causing him more emotional stress? I feel sorry for him but I know you cant base a relationship on that. I do love him with all the years between us its hard but its killing me.
