No, I Definitely Love You More.

What do you do when you've been in a relationship for years and live together and it has become blatantly obvious that you love them SO much more, in SO many more ways than they "love" you. Do they even love you, or are you convenient and comfortable and a door mat for their emotions. Their words are just words. They done so many bad things to you.

Someone help me out. My head knows. I don't want to waste more years, but I feel so trapped and in the thick of it.

Give me your BEST advice or stories that relate. I could use anything at all. Thank you. Lots of love.

    Some people take longer to open up. Others express love in different ways. Or sometimes, things just aren't meant to be. I think you should have a long talk with this person.

    Hi there. If it's been years that you've been living together and this is the way things are, I think it's safe to assume that things aren't going to change. The initial flexible settling-in part of the relationship is over and this is what you get. If it's really bad, the abuse continues, and there's no sign of remorse or apology, I would say it's time to move on.

    I have only 1 experience to relate, and it only lasted a year so it's not quite the same. But if my story helps... I was the "I love you more" person. She wouldn't even say it, and when I said it she would change the subject. It eventually came to a head on our anniversary when I was feeling really down, and she again tried to change the subject. I walked. It hurt for about 6 months, but now I'm like Wow, I'm glad I didn't waste a lifetime before finding out.
