To just ask him how he feels about me?

[Dreadingggit]

I’ve been with my boyfriend for a while. We’ve been through a lot together. He is quite in touch with his emotions in other situations. At the start of our relationship he was quite vocal about how he felt about me. Lately I’ve just had this feeling, that he doesn’t feel the same way I do.

We spend time together, we have sex regularly, he’s affectionate but something just feels off. I don’t need great big declarations of love all the time but I need to know how he truly feels about me. He watches me sleep I’ve caught him, he seems to care about me but we seem more like friends? I’m scared to ask him because I’m scared of the answer. I suppose if I have to ask then I already know…

Yes asking directly is the best way forward in my opinion. Always trust your intuition. We can often sense other people’s energies.

He might be going through something personal he hasn’t told you about, it might not be you? But you are both adults and you should be able to have an upfront confrontation about whatever is going on. I hope it all works out OP

Maybe he's worried the same as you, start by telling him that he's special to you or you have feelings for him just to test the waters rather than the saying you love him.

Have you just settled in to your relationship now?
The initial stages are all about lust and oxytocin flying around your body but the longer you are together the calmer it all gets and maybe he doesn't see the need for telling you how he feels on a regular basis.

Definitely speak to him.

I would speak to him but I'm of the school of thinking that centres on if you have to ASK for something, it doesnt really count. So if you ask for more affection and he does it, theres a chance it will feel forced. I always question, if I hadn't mentioned it, would he be doing this for me? Its got to come naturally for it to mean anything to me personally. You've been together a while though so on that basis, worth a chat at least x
