Is it normal that my boyfriend doesn't show me love even if he does?

I been with my boyfriend for a year and a half and he never really shows me emotions. I never know what he's thinking....yet he's always wanting to know how I feel. And if it weren't for the fact that he told me he'd love me I'd never know it. I show him all the time how much I love him but I get nothing. It's frustrating and I don't know if I should stay or leave. We've had this same problem since the beginning of our relationship it wasn't so bad but then it just stopped. And I just want him to show me some kind of emotion. I think I'm being selfish but I think I have the right to be I don't want that kind of relationship were I'm always showing him love and I get none in return.

  • No it's not normal and since you're unhappy with it you need to communicate your needs with him.

    If he doesn't reciprocate then tell him you're going to break up with him because he leaves you emotionally empty and you need more.

    Why stay with someone who doesn't really make you happy and isn't mature enough to show how they feel?

    I know he's not but I never even get a sweet jester like on Valentine's day I had to tell him what to get me....and never got a card nothing and he can't even tell me the way he feels about me all he's says is I love and care about you. I just feel unloved I guess

      Ugh I'm just like that with my bf maybe he feels the same way you do. It really sucks not being able to show your love.

    Some people are just not good with showing emotions. In my relationship I don't show emotion and that is truly our main problem. I do love my boyfriend soo much it's just that I can't show emotion. I can't show emotion with anyone or anything... Some people are just like that.
    I am in fact trying to change thought because I don't want to ruin the amazing relationship I'm in.
