My partner of three years and I live together. We have a great relationship in almost every way BUT he is useless at talking about feelings or the future.
If I ask him about a future visit to his parents (who live abroad) I say 'if you want me to come with you' and he will reply 'obviously' (We've been twice), but he never gushes or over-enthuses like I do, about anything. I'm very expressive about almost everything, he says I'm 'impulsive' which he says can be a positive but not always, and he is the opposite.
He is very dependable and solid, but the times when he used to send me messages whilst I was at work (and vice-versa) saying I was amazing and how much he loves me have completely dried up.
Yes he gets me flowers and we cuddle and have sex but he just seems a bit vacant now (that said we stayed up chatting and laughing far too late last night). Sorry this is coming across as a bit self-indulgent but I feel the weight of the world on my shoulders at the moment. He also never compliments me, something I find weird.
This is making me feel insecure and a bit clingy, qualities I don't admire in myself but am prone to , especially if I feel scared he doesn't love me as much. How can I calm down a bit and stop thinking the worst?
I want to be completely loved and adored as I feel I deserve this but am I expecting too much?
