My ex[31M] and I [27F]broke up 2 weeks ago and it was because I wanted reassurance and clarity that he was taking me serious. I felt like he was treating me as friends with benefits even though I have met his mom, cousins, and friends. I talked to him about how he wasn’t affectionate. It was making me feel like he doesn’t like me. Only time he was affectionate was when we’re in bed. Was I too much? Am I hard to like? He was my 2nd bf and I didn’t date for 3 years because my 1st relationship lasted for 8 years & it was super toxic. I wanted time to build myself again.
I’m just baffled that he left after I told him how I felt because he can’t give me what I want which is affection & reassurance? He was affectionate in the beginning of our relationship, he was very shy about it but he tried.
