Feeling weird. I’ve never put in so much effort in a relationship but no matter what I do, its ever enough for my boyfriend. He just thinks I’m not investing ‘enough’. After he pestered me, I agreed that okay, yes probably we are on a different page, but as long as we are on the same chapter, IT IS OK. But clearly not, I don’t know or understand, what I should do or not do to make it work. I really love him and do everything in my power to make him happy. I am not trying to victimize myself. He does a lot too, and really values this.
As per him, he thinks from a long term perspective and I, from a short term, day-to-day basis. This, according to him, reflects in our differing standards, decisions, responses, etc. Thus, although I told him “Im getting there”, he is skeptical that he may not be there by the time I get there. But why should we ruin what we have today and the present in anticipation of what may or may NOT happen in the future.
I know this can turn into something beautiful and magnificent. But this rough patch, hopefully, is just a phase. At the end of the day, HOPE is all that we can live with. We love each other, undoubtedly, but I don’t know what is it that I did that has poked holes in this.
