Love: Today, my boyfriend told me he only loves me sometimes. He explained...

Today, my boyfriend told me he only loves me sometimes. He explained what days he chooses to love me and what days he doesn't want to. I told him that's not how it works. He disagreed. He's 27. He still doesn't understand why this is a problem. FML

Today, my boyfriend called and asked me why I love him. I told him because he's always there for me and continues to put up with my bipolar disorder. He promptly said "not anymore" and hung up. FML

Trauma dumping

By Anonymous - 20/06/2023 04:00 - Canada - Belleville

Today, my partner of 4 years has told me that trying to be emotionally present and initiate affection from time to time is too much of a change for them to handle. I wish they had said that the first time I brought it up, instead of stringing me along. Oh, but they "love me". Just not enough to be a better person. FML

Today, my boyfriend of 6 years told me that since I've proven my loyalty and faithfully stuck by his side, he has no reason to ever consider marrying me, because "It's not like you're going anywhere, honey." He seems not to understand why I am upset by this. FML

Today, I yet again had to explain to my boyfriend how sleeping with another person is cheating. It's been three days, and almost as many fights. He still doesn't get it. FML

This reminds me of that YouTube kid who says he only likes his mommy when she gives him cookies. I think your boyfriend may actually be a two-year-old.

He sounds like an excessively spoilt child. I doubt whether talking will help much, he seems to be stubborn too. If he wants to act like a child treat him like one. I don't mean for you to physically discipline him, but you need to show him that he can't always get what he wants.

honestly, you should leave him. If you want to be in a monogamous relationship and want someone to love you regardless, he's not the man for you. Don't waste anymore of your time.

He needs mental health evaluation. and get out while you can. My husband said basically the same thing and I shrugged it off, now I'm getting a divorce and have a restraining order against him because he attacked me, stabbing me 8 times.

well OP, I'm sorry to break it to you this way, but it sounds like what he refers to as love is a completely other feeling..being inlove isn't something you choose to do, and much less something you can control. wild guess: your boyfriend is a single child?

I'm pretty curious about how he chooses. I can't be the only one, right?

Yeah you might need to leave that relationship alone and find someone more mature because he obviously have some issues going on along with probably other underlying ones. You don't need that.
