How do I bring up feeling under appreciated without sounding needy!?

Just looking for some advice. I've been feeling a little under appreciated in my relationship of late and I wanna mention it to my partner but at the same time I don't wanna sound super needy.

Basically it's just little things like, whereas before we'd discuss our week plans and try and arrange seeing our own set of friends on the same day so we could spend the other days together now he seems to just tell me he's going out and not even consider me.

Or he'll tell me he will call and won't, or when he does call just talk about himself and his day and not ask about mine.

Everything else in the relationship is perfect, we never argue and do spent a lot of time together (which is why I don't wanna cause too much of a stink) but at the same time I just wish he was a little more thoughtful towards me.

How long have you been together and how old are you?.

I would also think that the relationship is not otherwise perfect. You may not argue because he's either not around or you merely fall into line with what he wants to do.

I think that personally you deserve someone who treats you better than he. Such men too do not change. All this man seems to care about is his own self and getting his needs met. You are not to him his equal here.

Don't waste your time with this chump. He'll make you very unhappy. You're not needy and by even thinking you're needy for expecting respect and being made a priority means this is doomed.
