Question - (17 January 2011) 1 Answers - (Newest, 17 January 2011)
A female United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

my situation is so complicated. Idk what to do. I recently moved in with my bf. Things went really fast. we only knew each other a few months before moving in together. things were great for the first month or so but lately he has been working Alot and im alway alone. I really love him but my emotional needs are not being met. i understand he is busy trying to make money and has Alot going on but even when he is home he seems different. very distant. I made a very bad mistake and started talking to an ex and he is fulfilling all my emotional needs. the intimate details my boyfriend no longer gives. my bf used to lay in bed with me and put his arms around me kiss my forehead and play with my hair. he doesn't do any of this anymore. but my ex does. i need those little things to show me he cares and that's missing. im so confused. i feel like unless my bf starts doing these things again, starts showing me he cares again that im going to keep turning to my ex for the emotional needs. should i pick the man that only physically can please me (my bf) or pick the one that emotionally satisfies me but not physically(my ex) i have tried telling my bf what's missing but he continues being distant and constantly blames work. saying he is tired. i really love him but until things go back to how they were in the beginning when i knew he cared i don't know how to stay away from my ex

Illithid agony auntYou're cuddling your ex? You're meeting up with him and letting him tenderly stroke your hair and kiss your forehead? I know that I would NOT be comfortable with my girlfriend doing that with an ex. That's not just emotional support! It sounds like you're dating the ex but sleeping with the bf. You don't even sound like you love you bf, just what he did for you. Whether or not you go back to you ex, this relationship with your bf isn't going anywhere and you should probably look into a new place to live.
