LDR + Anger

Hi All,

I have been in a LDR for about 2 months. We have met each other & plan to see each other again soon.

I have always been very vocal about things that may annoy me in a relationship with previous partners, for instance if their behaviour is disrespectful.

However, with my new partner, it's hard to do that. We used to be able to talk for hours and laugh and joke, now I don't feel like that.

I feel like I have to hold back, I can't open my mouth & say what I want. For instance, sometimes he will ignore me when I know he's online. He's also been acting distant. I'm not ok with this behaviour. But if he calls again I want to raise this, but I know he will say "all you do is argue. I don't want to talk". It's about HIS behaviour not mine! He is also criticising and just his attitude sucks sometimes. I don't want to push him away or him think everytime I talk she only has something negative to say, but I have to say what I need to say.

I do love him & I know he loves me.

How do I approach this situation?

He sounds like a criminal.

Of course you don't 'love him', OP.

You are, however, desperate to love someone, that is totally obvious. You want someone to love so badly that you attach these 'love' feelings to anyone who talks to you nicely.

He doesn't love you either - he is after what he can get; money, sex, attention...

Come on OP. Freedom Programme. Asap.

Back off and protect yourself.

Cancel the flights
Delete and block his number/email/etc.
Give your head a wobble and ask yourself why you are remotely attracted to a penpal on the other side of the world who can't even pretend to be nice to you for the couple of days you are in the same city.
Go join dating sites and look for a local guy who actually likes you.

It seems to crave attention OP - attention from strangers on the internet.
Spend some time exploring why that is.

I do love him & I know he loves me. Love is not enough.

And if you think you are in love after a 2 month LDR then you must never have experienced true love, which is awfully sad. I wonder what you think love is?

How do I approach this situation?
Dump. Block. Move on. Hopefully find actual love one day.

I did ask on your previous thread what your childhood was like, OP. I'm interested as to why you confuse 'Love' with other emotions (including Hate/dislike/disinterest) - what were your Role models?

But of course you never came back to that thread, either.
