Question - (21 February 2009) 3 Answers - (Newest, 23 February 2009)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

What do I tell my boyfriend? He treats me like I'm his trophy. He ignores me all the time and would rather have me at his side when he wants to compare me with his friends girlfriends. I used to like him but I don't any more. He acts like I'm not there. I don't want to break up with him because I don't want to hurt him. I don't know why he's acting like this. I'm always there for him. It's like hes embarrassed when I hug him or tell him I love him. I need help.

You're frustrated. If this boyfriend of yours isn't reciprocating what you desire, even the most basic of things in an intimate relationship, then I would implore you to dump his ass and seek out others who would be more sensitive towards you.

Let me get this straight: You don't want to hurt him, therefore, you refuse to leave him. On the other hand, he treats you like a trophy, expected to compliment him and ignores you which in turn, hurts you.

Now, you're here on this site, asking us how we can help you.

Question: How do you expect us to help you, if you cannot even help yourself? I mean, this has a pretty obvious answer. However, to give him the benefit of the doubt and say he is actually a very sweet boy, has he always been this way?

Maybe he is shy? Maybe he is inexperienced and doesn't know what to do with you? Maybe he is getting advice from people whom have Lucky Charms for brains? Maybe he wanted a girlfriend to show others that he also has a girlfriend?

The list goes on, but take away the benefit of the doubt and you're left with the same problem.

What can you do? Do you really seriously want to do more for a fellow like him? What has he ever done for you? Has he even cared about you? Does he even talk with you? Does he even share his life's ideas with you? Does he ask you questions about your ideas, your dreams, you goals? Does he sincerely want to spend time with you? Cook with you? Put together a jigsaw puzzle and write little poems to you with really mushy words? "Baby, your eyes sparkle like the infinite ocean of stars, that shine on our love. You, the sun in my life, the lighthouse that guide my heart, forever, my yearning for you beats with every breath you make and every kiss I take from you..."

Hahaha. Sorry.

So, tell me, what has he done for you?
