My (22f) boyfriend (25m) told me he doesn't see a future for our relationship. How do I move forward in the relationship knowing this.
We've been dating for 8 months and I fell in love. I told him I love him multiple times but he says he has a hard time saying it, so I try to give him space but l asked him on Sunday if he loves me and he said a hesitant yes which felt like a lie. I asked if he sees a future for our relationship and he said that he doesn't see a future when I go to college (that’s only 3 hours away mind you) and with someone who "isn't active" like me. I don't know what to do l'm heartbroken. I really do love him and knowing he doesn't feel the same way hurts so much.l've been crying for days and I called him last night to tell him how I felt and he doubled down on his views though he said sorry that he upset me.
Now I just feel like l'm overreacting and emotional because he's sending me texts and TikTok's like nothing happened. It's like he doesn't care anymore or maybe he never did. I don't know I'm just hurt.
How do I communicate better that I want to be with someone that wants me and wants a future with me?
TLDR: he doesn’t see a future once I go to college and he thinks I don’t have an active enough lifestyle for him. I want to try to make it work but how do I keep moving forward knowing this?
