He Never Asks...

Run and run soon. This stuff cannot be fixed, he has his own world of which you are not even a minor player. So many of these refusers have the same pattern. Go while you are still young and can enjoy life. He does not care about you and this is abusive behavior. You do not deserve this life of no intimacy or contact.

This sure is one for the rubber stamp. Do be aware that when you tell him it is over, he wil promise to "try." Don't fall for it. "Trying" means throwing you some crumbs until the coast is clear then back to BAU.

I've got one of these. He has asked me twice in a year how I feel or how my day has gone. I once told him he never asks how I am. He told me "That's not true," and didn't change a thing.

They don't care.

Careful. I started to 'act like him' and now I can't seem to go back to my old bubly self... escape with your dignity intact now.

Make him go go away, you are to young. Your poetry should have a message that you yourself would like reading.

It probably is not going away if you don't take any action to change the dynamics in place. Inertia will carry on everything as it is now forever otherwise. You have to intervene and say hey I do not like what is going on. You are going to rock his world and force him to come out of his comfort zone. But, this is the way anything is going to change.
