Feeling low lately.
I’ve been feeling really low for the past few days, and I have no one to confess this to. I stay with my boyfriend.. we’ve been in a relationship for the past five years now. But he just doesn’t seem to notice my sadness anymore. Even when I look sad or tired, he casually asks me why I’m sad and then goes back to playing games with his friends. I genuinely feel like I need constant reassurance, but he gets irritated when I ask for it. I just feel stuck with him. His family knows about me, so I feel like I’m trapped and can’t do much about it.

It is exhausting being an emotional sponge all the time for a partner, you should understand this. Everyone has their life and struggles to deal with.
You need therapy, not reassurance from your bf. Constant reassurance is exhausting and will only strain your relationship with him. You need to deal with your insecurities and sadness yourself, no one else can do it for you.
I get what you’re saying, and I agree that I need to work on myself too. But sometimes, when you’re with someone, you just expect a bit of emotional support. It’s not about constant reassurance, just wanting to feel cared for when things get heavy.
You need think whether he was same mindset initially or anything changed like this recently .from the initial stage he was not understanding your feelings or lonely time then there May be some communication misunderstanding .
Yeah, I get your point. If he wasn’t understanding my feelings from the beginning, it could be a communication gap.
Hey I am in a similar situation and can relate. Please be brave. Do get the vitamins tested. Don’t rush to fix everything at once.
