sounds like his blank, emotional stares is him being just done with the relationship. sorry if this sounds harsh, but you sound very demanding. I know because I can be the same way and once I get to that point where I get the blank responses I know it's over. I'm not an easy person to be with I've found out. I'm working on that, alone. I think you need to find a job, get a small place to live by yourself and work on yourself. I know it's not that easy, but it would be a goal to work towards.
I also think moving in together out of necessity doesn't usually work out even if it seems to work at first. something to think about in the future.
you could try couples therapy. I'm never sure if that really works--I've never been. once you hit a certain point in a relationship (for me, at least) it's hard to go back to the beginning and erase all that's been said and done. luckily you haven't invested ten years (just random number) or something, you're not married, you're both very young and I think it's time for both of you to move on. you've both learned a lot.
thank you for your post. I really appreciate it. take what you want from my post, leave what you don't like. just know I'm trying to help and not trying to make you feel any worse. hugs!
