Ive been feeling down for a couple of days now...and my bf isnt the man i used to love...he changed alot...all he thinks is about money ( which i felt guilty coz he is the one spending all)He is not sweet anymore,cant even say i love you unless i said it first...we used to say i love you before we sleep and kisses,same in the morning...it was just 4 months since we live together in the same house but he change...saw some pictures of his ex's (and all the girls he used to chat and flirt with too) on his laptop and computer and he said its his privacy and i shouldnt look at it.I told him if privacy he wants then why are we living together,i even told him that i only have privacy when i go to toilet coz since i decided that we live together privacy wont be an issue.Long story and all i did is cry coz i dont know what to do anymore... Feel Free to ask questions if you dont understand anything.Thanks in advance :)

O.OH I am very sorry that your relationship went that way. How about try to make some things that is not connected to him like you go out with your friends enjoy yourself. If he wanted privacy have yours too. Don't let him feel and think that you are always up to him then let's see who will come to you... sometimes situation turns upside down we will not know that soon he will be the one who will feel the same thing. Just don't stress yourself instead do all the best to be very beautiful...^_^ go girl!

There could be lots of reasons why he is acting like this. Perhaps he is stressed about the money situation? If he isnt saying I love you, it may be because he is feeling down and wants to hear it from you first. You say he isnt as loving? Perhaps you could surprise him with a unexpected sexy dance or something, get his blood flowing and get him thinking of YOU. Im not saying it is up to you to sort this problem, but the thing is - you need to speak to HIM. Not mylot users. He is the only one who can really tell you what is going on, he might be afraid to broach the subject if its a difficult one, or he is feeling sad too and doesnt want to upset you or hurt you. He might be afraid of causing an argument. The privacy thing im a bit wary of, the pictures shouldnt really be a big deal as maybe he doesnt want to destroy his past, but if hes really defensive about it, maybe thats a warning sign. The thing is, its between the two of you. The only thing you can do is discuss it - and change really starts within - you cant nag him to be more loving as it will probably do the opposite. Im sure there are good times left, perhaps just that "spark" is going now you live together, there isnt much surprises, so have a word with him and go out and have some fun. Take action, sitting and moping wont do anyone any good and you'll just sprial down. He is your boyfriend, im sure you can broach the subject, he may not see it that way if it has become routine. I really wish you all the best, but the best person you can talk to about it is him. Try it, you never know, just make sure you can both keep your head and not let emotions get in the way (Easier said than done, I know) He might just feel the same. Good luck.

I tried many times to talk to him but its always the same.Cried coz i cant express myself and when i do its like he will say im just like his mother.I never nag him to be more loving,i missed the way he was.And oh its not just pictures of his past GIRLS,he saved all the conversation and gave me reason to wonder why he does it,we already argue about it but its still there.He even changed or close the window when im going close to him so im like if its the past then i dont care anymore but if hes asking like hes hiding something then its different.Theres no time he said i love you first...its always me but i didnt care but this past few days no reply anymore when i say it,sometimes just a "me too" or a "hmmm". On his mum burial almost the people there said he has a good gf coz im always there with him,respecting and not leaving his side,but i never heard any appreciation from him,his brother said thank you for not leaving them in times like this.but you know what he said?im just a statue siting or standing there.

Sounds like neither of you is ready for a relationship that needs commitment. There's no room for insecurity and jealousy and your bf needs to learn about loyalty and trust. I'm betting you decided to move in together without any proper planning or discussion. Did you move in with him or did you get a new place together? If that's the case I can understand that he is feeling like you have invaded his space...very natural but not fair to you. Many people change after taking this step because they are just not ready. It would be good if you can take several steps backwards but I know that's not possible. I think your guy has changed his feelings for you too. I think you are not the girl he thought you were. Sad really.

Hi zsarhea: I have participated on a similar discussion by your and it makes me think that things are not going right in your relationship. It's sad when a person has changed so radically and that it seems that he is not caring for you at all. In some similar situations I have felt destroyed but you just need to love yourself first, try to talk to friends and to your family. Remember how valuable and important you are. He needs to know how wrong he is doing and that he can lose you. I know things could be hard without the person you have chosen but is it worth it without communication and understanding? ALVARO

What do you think he is feeling about your relationship right now? I just don't know why he's acting that way. I have also experienced what you have posted and indeed, the presence of the one I love is not enough to cover the emptiness and loneliness I am feeling. However, I do not experience what you have exactly. I think things change gradually. I think you must talk to him. Ask him everything you want to know about him and your relationship.

Leave him. He will not make you so sad if he really loves you. The more you are with him, the sadder you will be. Such man is not worh being loved by you.

dear this guy is not in love with you.Kindly get out of this relationship.Remember one thing action speak louder than words.If he is saying ilu to you and then fliting with other woman then he is not in love with you.He like you little bit may be o just want someone to accompany.

If someone loves each other and both realise the depth of love, then there is no need to tell for all times. It is understood and realised. But I think if people says that I love you for many times, may not have such a hard love and they need to express it by words. But all depend on person to person and many times we may not be in a position to express our feeling due to day-to-day life problems. But if both are together and in a good mood, open up the mind and exchange what they feel, there comes all solutions and real love and sincere love always get appreciated.

well, sit down and talk for a while. Ask is the problem then settle it. A good communication can fix everything. Don't let anyone's pride go on your way, because that will cause greater problem in the end.
