Hello everyone!
I'm 22 years old.
I am in a relationship with a guy since 2017 and he is 26years. So my issue with this relationship is he never shows nor says anything to me. Anything as in what he feels for me. I myself create situations to let him say something..but he never takes that chances. I'm feeling very incomplete lately and i told him about how i feel about this relationship. He always says , don't you understand me?
How?? There will be only two ways to understand.. He either should show or say what he feels abt us... I'm missing being felt like he is mine and I'm his. Every girl wishes to hear her guy saying ' u r mine ' or atleast expects him to make her feel that way. Its like i am being with a rock. He just listens to what i say and reply. That's it. I tried to breakup with him but he never lets that happen. He tries to convince me saying i too feel so much for u but i dnt have a habit of express. I dnt knw hoe to express. I am like this , can't help.
But , i feel like being not treated the way i deserve.
Please advise

Take it from someone that wasted years in two different relationships like this that he won't change. One was in love with his career and the other was so damaged by an ex he couldn't/wouldn't open up and express his feelings - if he had any! I took too long to walk away. Sorry but he IS showing what you mean to him, and it isn't as much as you want it to be.
I'm now married to the most romantic and expressive loving man, what if I had settled for what I had with the two 'rocks"? I'd still be feeling empty and incomplete. It's bad for your mental health and your self esteem. I'm sorry if that's not what you want to hear, OP. Leave him and find real love. 💐

Some people really aren't very affectionate, physically and/or verbally, and it would be forced for them to behave any other way. This doesn't mean that he doesn't care for you, or want to spend his time with you, however in your situation I would feel the same frustration you do. I just need to hear and feel the other persons affections to feel happy in a relationship - it's not a bad thing, probably the majority of people are like this. Ultimately, although he does sound like he is into the relationship when questioned, you are unhappy and so I'd say it probably just comes down to you being incompatible.
There will be plenty more chances in the future for you to find a more fulfilling relationship.
