We’ve been together 6 yrs, sometimes I get depressed really bad in the winter and I feel like I need a little extra love sometimes to get me through. I go in phases of feeling super lonely because we’re not affectionate a lot, & I feel like I have to ask to be loved. Why is this such an issue? Why is it so irritating to him? I love him but i feel like I shouldn’t have to explain how to be loved. Our whole relationship, I’ve struggled with not feeling loved enough, feeling empty/ just being lonely in general. Yet I have a bf who I live with. Is this me and my depression? Or am I dating someone who doesn’t care about me
TL;DR: Not feeling loved in my relationship and it’s a problem when I bring it up.
