A female United Kingdom age 36-40, *he queen ass writes:

I have been with my boyfriend for nearly 2 years. Whilst he behaves is respectful and caring, he never tells me he loves me, in fact he tells me he doesn't. Should I accept this at face value and leave, or I should be a little patient with him? He treats me with indifference and doesn't want to tell me where is he going only small talks. How should I react?

A female reader, Candid Cally United States +, writes (30 November 2012):

You are young. Do not waste some of the best years of your life with someone who provides you with 'small talk' and treats you with 'indifference.' This is not respect. This is what he feels obligated to provide you with after almost two years together.

If someone cannot tell you that they love you after being together for almost two years in a romantic relationship, it is time for both of you to amicably and officially end the relationship. This will give you both the opportunity to pursue other people so you can find someone who does love and cherish you.

EbonyBlossom agony auntIn your case, i would keep your options open and not expect anything serious from him. If you are uncomfortable with keeping it casual then i would leave.

So_Very_Confused agony aunthe's your boyfriend for two years

and he tells you he does NOT love you...

he treats you with indifference

he does not tell you where he is going and who he is going or what he is doing with the people he is with.

you ask "how should I react?"

to what?

are you asking if you should leave him? I would end it. He does not care about you.... you are just filler till something that really catches his eye comes along and he will dump you like a hot potato.

be proactive and leave him.

Sageoldguy1465 agony auntQ.A. I have "been there" relative to what you describe...

Your best way to handle this is to ask your "boyfriend" if, in fact, he really does or doesn't love you..... AND, if he is flagrant enough to repeat what you report in this submittal - "...in fact he tells me he doesn't.." - then you can calmly and politely tell him that you and he are NOT "on the same wave length".... and walk away from him.....

I spent 4 (excruciating!) years of frustration before I did what I just suggested to you....

Good luck.....

You're dating a man exclusively for two years who tells you he doesn't love you? Sometimes you wait so long for something you no longer want it. I'd find someone who is able to love.
