hi

ive been with my partner for 10 months now and he is the most unromantic man i have ever met. he is rarely intimate with me, no kisses, no cuddles, no cute texts etc. he has issues with commitment and emotions i think.

anyway my friends are going on about what thier partners/husbands are doing for them for valentines day and how happy they are and its actually getting to me a bit. i know i will get nothing at all. its no the receiving gifts part im bothered about its just the whole point of valentines day is to spend it showing the person you love that you love them. i wont even get a card. i got nothing for xmas, nothing for my birthday and i dont think he has ever bought me a drink on a night out he is that stingy.

i love him but to be honest ive actually forgotten why i fell in love with him in the first place.

i suppose im just a bit jealous of the way my friends partners treat them. they are treated like queens and i just feel worthless. its to the point now where im wondering if i mean anything to him at all or if he would even notice if i just walked away from him.

any ideas on how i can get him to open up to me a bit more or at least show me some attention? or at least have sex with me lol.

im 22 btw and he is 35

Love. You have been with him for only ten months.

I have stuff in my fridge that's been lurking there for longer than that.

And he isn't intimate with you or affectionate or romantic and you are already not having sex?

No. Don't accept this is how it is.

ffs, walk away. Before you have children, before you are tied.

Why would you settle for this?

Look on the bright side, Hecate; if they aren't having sex at least the OP won't get pregnant!
