Been with my boyfriend for 6 months and it's just slowly dawning on me that he's really not very interested in me as a person nor able to provide me with any emotional support.
Every conversation I have with him is turned sexual one way or another. 80 percent of our chats are sexual. He becomes very animated if we're speaking sexually but very lukewarm when discussing anything else. He rarely asks me any questions other than how are you/what you doing? When he's around me, we will have sex, and he will cuddle etc after but after a while he goes very cold.
My mum is unwell and in hospital at the moment. He hasn't asked since I told him she was in hospital how she is.
I'm used to being in contact everyday and I will really miss our chats so I really don't want to end it abruptly but rather I would just like to pull away gradually. However, I feel my mood is determined by his mood. If I don't hear from him I get sad, if he's in a good mood I'm happy, if he's being distant I am upset and worried. How can I gradually pull away whilst protecting myself? I don't want to stop speaking to him yet.
