Hi everyone, a few weeks ago I posted a thread about my bipolar boyfriend suddenly breaking up with me. Well, he apologized to me and explained that it was his illness that triggered him to act that way, and that he hates that he hurt me. He said he can't guarantee that it won't happen again but he is doing everything he can to stay on track like giving up on alcohol because they affect his meds etc. Long story short, we are back together (for now at least). The problem is we had our first night as a couple again but he just wasn't as affectionate towards me as he was before. He wanted me to shower him with affection but wouldn't even touch me and could barely look at me. I'm usually really confident in my looks but I'm starting to feel less attractive and my self esteem is dissipating as a result. Since we broke up I've lost an alarming 12-15 lbs solely based on stress and sadness from the break up. I just lost my appetite completely from heartache. He hasn't mentioned anything about my weight loss and neither have I. I wonder if he's lost his attraction towards me or if I should just relax because after all, it was just our first time together in almost a month. He is normally very considerate, in the bedroom he normally does things to please me first, he's a gentleman; but this time around it was all about him, hardly any consideration for my needs at all. I know I don't need another person to make me feel attractive but somehow I feel very empty and sad that he may not be attracted to me any longer. Do men act this way towards women they are attracted to/care about? Should I just give it time or am I being too sensitive? Is he just using me for sex even after he opened up about his emotions/feelings towards me?
