me and my boyfriend have been together for almost 6 years. most of our relationship is great other than the problems here and there but who doesn't have problems in their relationships. im writting this because i want a little advise on the ways i have been feeling lately....like i said we have been together almost 6 years, hes thirty and im 25. lately i feel like im being left out not just in his life but us together as a couple. i know im only 25 and im younger than he is and all his friends, but lately all his friends have been getting married and having kids. we both agree we don't want kids but im feeling left out in the fact that he and i aren't thinking of marriage in anyway. sometimes it really bothers me and i don't think he loves me enough or he would have asked by now, (its been almost 6 years what are you waiting for mentaility kicks in) but i never bring it up to him or push him towards asking, i want it solely to come from him. and unfortunately hes a major flip flopper in anything in life, there have been days he will say things about what our wedding would be like or what he wants to do for it, then theres days where he says weddings are stupid and waste of time and money....so which am i supposed to believe....i understand im only 25 which is still young and i myself am in no rush to get married but some kind affirmation that its a possibility in the future would be nice. i find myself going with him to all of his friends weddings and feeling left out and sad that its never going to happen with us...is this wrong or selfish?
its not just that issue thats leaving me feeling left out, lately hes been pushing me more to the side for social media, his friends, and just generally lacking in the affections department. i ask him if somethings wrong and most of the time he says he just in his own little world...but again im feeling left out of the relationship for not getting the positive affection i need from him, and im not asking alot, a kiss or hug here or there to actually listen to me when im talking. he'll say that we have been together for so long people just kind of get used to one another i should just know things are fine and he doesn't need to do all these things anymore....but i don't want things to be like that i want to feel im loved not just told......so again my question is should i be feeling left out or is this just me being selfish and craving to much attention and affection from him?
