Is it normal to love someone who seems to hurt you always?

Hey there, I just wanna know what I should do.
So here goes the situation : I am in love with this person and I know he loves me too. We aren't in an official relationship but its understandable as he has been hurt too many times so he is just being careful. I know he loves me, and I love him so much. But his actions and attitude seems to hurt me emotionally. This thing seems to happen very often. It has been almost 4 months that we are unofficially together. I am happy when I am with him and he really seems to make me happy and i can tell him everything. BUT the main thing is, what should I do? I am crying most nights and feeling hurt with the way he acts and answers me. But I know deep down he loves me a lot. Or am just hoping for the best? Please give some advice. I wanna know what to do. Thanks.

    What is it he's doing that hurts you so much? There's a lot of difference between him punching you in the mouth and not saying "thank you" when he doesn't even realize you're expecting it.

    So you caught him out on a lie and were still reasonable.

    Men like to chase. Don't be too available! He wants what he can't have - not a doormat who's understanding.

    Men are a different breed altogether - treat him mean to keep him keen!!

    Its his turn to make an effort. I would stop trying to hang out with him and just give him some space. I know it hurts but if you keep trying so hard he's just going to hurt you more. It's him its not you. He doesn't deserve you at this point. He's probably going through a phase or something. I'd say lose contact with him and see how it goes for a while. Try to move on.

    The way u explain it sounds like its just u, not him, If he makes u happy then y r u crying? U might be just suffering from depression

    I have the same problem with my guy.to him we are just friends but his actions show different.i feel like I don't want him to b with n e one but me.i want to give him the world. I am obsessing n need to stop cuz its only hurting me. I invest a lot of time n effort into him, sometimes too much.I'm 21 an hes 29 .he gets an attitude a lot. I think its in his personality.but I look past his comments.i luv him, or maybe its his sex game!i am only w him, no one else, but I think I fell way too hard for him! Its been 2years

    But it seems so difficult to stop seeing him or wanting to contact him. I just wanna know what i did wrong or something like that. But he says he loves me so much and even he doesnt reply my text or answer my phone calls, he still thinks about me. He just contacted me today. The thing is he didnt really talked about us. He was talking on how he has so much problems. Should I just leave him already? Its just that, I am the only person he's got. Or should I be there for him till his problems are gone and leave? It is just such a hard decision to make because I love him too much though it hurts me tremendously how he answers me and treats me. But I seem to wanna forgive him and just be with him. Am i being stupid?

    I think that he's not the one for you. You should stop seeing him before you get anymore attached. If he loved you he would care about your feelings. I got into a relationship like this once and I wish I just listened to my common sense and got out of it sooner. You'll find someone that makes u happy :)

    Thanks for the advices and comments.
    The thing is, the way he hurts me is emotionally.
    We made plans to see each other, and he blew me off because he tells me he is tired with his soccer training and such. I understand, so I told him it is alright and then he should rest.But then he goes out with his friends, going for karaoke, gambling, playing billiard. And this isnt the first time he is doing that. When i call and ask him whats going on if i did anything wrong, =he told me that nothing is wrong and i didnt do anything wrong. so i asked him why is he acting in such a way. He went to like an angry tone and said if i wanna have fight with him.so i told him, no of course not. then he just hung up. so what am i doing wrong? he made plans to see but he just didnt show up again. and now he isnt contacting me. what do I do? because it hurts so bad. I never loved someone this way before.

      Fuck him. He is short temper rude and using you. Two kids, stretch marks and three blood pressure pills later ,"Love " wears off as bills roll in. #FactsFuckEm

    it all depends on HOW he hurts you.

    i mean... my bf and i hurt each other sometimes. not because we are trying to but because even the best couples fight once in a while.

    it all depends on if your man is hurting you constantly
    or if you just fight once in a while

    I feel this way with a certain someone. I know this may be hard to do but I promise you the only thing you can do to stop the pain is lose ALL contact with him. It'll hurt ALOT at first I'm not gonna lie but you're better off without him! I'm still trying to get over my ex who was just like that. Though I miss them like crazy, I know they're not worth all the damn pain they cause.

    Time heals. Keep your head up and stay strong!!!
