Question - (29 November 2014) 2 Answers - (Newest, 30 November 2014)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

My boyfriend and I have been together for 2 years and its been the worst two years! At first our relationship was great, we did everything together, he did small things for me, he was caring and romantic. And its went to hell. We don't do anything together i never go around his mom because she absolutely hates me for whatever reason, I don't go around his friends period because he never invites me. The whole 2 years I've only met 3 of his friends and that's when we did everything together. He won't go Christmas shopping with me, we haven't been out together any where in over a month his excuse is because he rather do things alone. He doesn't leave the house unless its to go to work or hangout with friends.

He doesn't pay attention to me at all. He rather be on his phone or playing his game. When we have problems he doesn't want to talk about them, if he makes me cry or we fight he never says sorry he never tries to comfort me. He doesn't randomly hug me,kiss me or hold me.

Unless I ask.

If we do anything I have to plan it. He says in the relationship the man is in charge . we never do anything I want to do because he don't like nothing but sports or video games.

We live together and all we do is sit across the room from each other and he plays his games or is on his phone we don't take pictures together.

I feel like we are useless in each others life. I asked him to help decorate the Christmas tree thinking it would be fun and he didn't he played his game the whole time instead. I don't know how to make this relationship work.

I can't get him to understand that a relationship needs to be equal and we compromise and do things that make each other happy. Should I just end things?

Aunty BimBim agony auntShort answer: yes, end things.

There is nothing here for you, no love, no companionship, no caring, no sharing. And as for his statement that a man is in charge in a relationship........ oh yeah?

Give yourself the best possible Christmas present .... a life without him in it!

Good luck!

You should have ended things a long time ago. You guys are obviously not compatible, so trying to force him to be your ideal guy is just going to drive you nuts.
