My boyfriend & I finally talked things over last night. He's been going through some hard stuff emotionally. I kinda knew that, but he made me feel like I'd done something wrong by the way he was ignoring me, etc. I told him he just needs to open up to me so I know what's going on. Then I won't think it's me, when it really has nothing to do with me. His daughter moved away with her mom a year ago & he hasn't seen her since. She was supposed to come for a visit this week, but it was postponed. He recently (about 6 weeks ago) got a DUI, spent 2 days in jail, got big fines, lost his license, had to give up his leased car & started a new position at his job. He seemed to be doing ok a couple weeks ago & he said he was dealing with it. But, obviously he's still carrying a heavy load & he kept it bottled up. Even so, I think if we stop showing love to our partner & don't nurture the relationship, things will fall apart. Then, doesn't that just create more problems? Anyway...I do understand why he hasn't been himself, and I can live with less sex for awhile as long as we talk & there is still some love & affection happening. The more he keeps to himself, the more I feel frustrated & want sex even more because I feel desperate to connect with him. And, not to put it ALL on him...my emotions are like a yoyo. I guess I am a little needy sometimes. Sshhh....no one heard me admit that!!
