Just that really. I've been with my DP for over four years. It hasn't been the fairytale romance you dream about but we've both been faithful.
He has never told me he loves me in the time we've been together but has always jokingly avoided the question. I outright asked him if he loved me last night. His response: I'm not sure. Love is a very strong word and I use it sparingly.
I feel like I deserve a partner who loves me wholeheartedly and thinks I'm the best thing ever. When I told him I thought I deserved more in a relationship he told me to ask him again in a few weeks (WTF).
I have told him that I won't be asking him again in a few weeks and I'm not going to pressure him to feel something for me just because I want him to.
The thing is, now I know he doesn't love me where do I go? We have no DC together and aren't financially enmeshed. The weird thing is, I can't imagine sleeping with him again knowing he feels how he feels.
Has anyone been in this situation and what did you do? Any other advice is also welcome.
