    It sounds like you're doing all the work trying to keep this relationship alive and hopping. Sometimes, people grow apart and it's time to move on, it just wasn't meant to be for the long term. But that doesn't mean that you can't take away something positive from it. Or maybe you need to just start doing your own thing, don't always be there for him, make yourself busy. If he notices and misses you, he'll make an effort. Sometimes, familiarity can breed comfort and you can take people for granted, assume that they are going to be there always. Give him space while you pursue other interests. If he's not coming after you, there's lots of other guys out there.

    I am doing all of the work :( I don't want to be without him, I love him so much. I just don't know why he stopped and I know there are other guys but I don't want any other guy... I just want him to be better again, and love and care about me like he used to. It's so sad that something that was so great turns into this. I think you're right though, they say absence makes the heart grow fonder, but it might also make the heart grow farther away, but if it does then there's nothing I can do and I should just accept that I'm just not what he wants.

    I don't know what is going on in his life, or anything about your relationship. And I feel your love for him, and how this is killing you on the inside. I hope things will work out with him and you. I don't know why this is true, but some guys, the closer the relationship grows, the farther they push away.Sometimes, it's simply they get 'confused', no longer sure what they want. I just think that if you're not so available to him, it would help him realize you might not always be there. And if he truly loves you back, he won't let that happen. I'm wishing you the best.

    hey sweetie sorry for that feeling you must have felt....
    well if he starts not giving a crap it may be because he takes you for granted and it is not love that he feels anymore but he feels he possess you..
    i know its not a very nice feeling hearing that from an outsider who knows nothing of you but still i think i understand you...
    Do what you feel is best for you because if you are in a relationship its because you want someone who cares for you who loves you and make you happy...
    Is what you are experiencing love?
    are you happy?
    if not move on....love is a great feeling it only brings happiness not tears...small fights are ok but to what extent????
    think abt it

    because you're like an old married couple already?
    it's all comfortable and familiar like an old pair of bluejeans, broken in and faded.
    he takes you for granted, and you miss the excitement and butterflies.

    Ive read your replies to comments and sorry if you already answered this:

    Have you talked to him about it? What does he say?

    If you've told him how you feel and he's not willing to change then you should think seriously about your next move.

    He says he doesn't know why either. He says he loves me so much somedays, and that I'm so perfect, there couldn't be anyone better and then the next he just doesn't want anything to do with me. I just don't know why he's like that, I asked him to talk to someone about it, his dad or like a therapist to see if it's just something wrong with him emotionally or if I'm just not the right girl for him. I just think it'd be really sad to throw away the last 4 years when we could totally make it good again. I just need him to have to desire to want to try.

    He just needs to make an effort. It could be any one of a number of reasons and I know I've been like that in the past. You have to go a little outside your comfort zone sometimes to actually discover that there are things you can do that you will enjoy that isnt just the usual daily grind of going to work, coming home, playing video games/whatever you usually do and then going to bed. Is there anything he hasnt done that he really wants to do? EG something you can plan for the weekend. Just as an example - parachuting or something nutty like that? Country walks? Paintballing? Could be anything. Anything that he's interested in that will put a bit of excitement into him might help.

    It isn't a crime for someone's feelings to change. Perhaps he now bored with the relationship but is worried about hurting you by breaking up. Let him go.

    You should sit down and have an honest conversation with him. If he's not willing to compromise then walk away. Life is too short x
