QuirkLady agony auntI'm so sorry that you ended up in this situation but I will be brutally honest with you:

You're in love with an image, not your boyfriend. You're dating a man who doesn't want to touch you, who makes you cry, who is rude, who starts fights with you for no reason. You accept all this because you're insecure and you don't want to admit that you were wrong for having that six-year crush.

Misery will keep you constant company until you decide for yourself that you want a change. You can do better. You can find someone who makes you happy.

Go see a professional counselor and work on your insecurities. Once you learn to love yourself you will see him for the man he really is and you will find the strength you need to let go and start living your life.

Good luck.

shania agony auntSweetheart, i know your hurting here and its obvious that you truely love him but he doesn't really love you, because he is treating you very shabbily.You said you only had sex twice within 6 months with him and when you try to touch him or show any intimacy, your boyfriend pulls away and gets aggressive. This man has serious issues here and you cant be his psychiatrist....You are worth more then that...if he had any feelings or love for you then he wouldn't treat you like this.This man is basically using you, why he doesn't call it a day, i dont know....But you need to walk away now, he is seriously making you depressed, you will have no self confidence or self esteem left if you stay with this guy....he's bad news. There will be a man out there for you who will treat you with the love and respect that you deserve, dont settle for 2nd best because while your hanging around him he will continue to emotionally abuse you. Get out now....you will get over him....Trust me.
