It’s simple. He’s lazy and thinks so highly of himself that he feels simply being ‘your boyfriend’ is enough to be pulling his weight in the relationship. He loves you and everything you do for him, absolutely, but the issue is he thinks YOU need to do all of that for him to love you but HE doesn’t need to do any of that for you to love him. He himself should be enough. But he isn’t. He’ll figure that out once you leave him.
Yeah I can understand not everyone is okay with this. I’ve been single for a long time before, so frankly been a little insecure of how to be in a relationship. Since I’m not jealous I don’t have problems with exes. An ex bf had several ex/hook ups which he hung out with and it didn’t bother me. So just having contact with this old coworker hadn’t crossed my mind that it could be a problem. That’s why i asked my bf early on in the relationship if he was a jealous person because usually i haven’t been able to date them.
Yeah there really are complex emotions involved. For the people I know who have been upset in similar situations as the gf it was about feeling not good enough to get married to, not them still being in love with the ex. They really had to process the hit to their self-esteem, etc. I can see how it hurts when a long term partner says “I am just not into marriage” and then gets married. For some I know it was the very next partner they married.
(Generally) Women expect proposals within a 3 or 4 year relationship. You’ve left her hanging for much much much longer than this. Sometimes when women are sick of their partner’s shÃte they can no longer stand anything. Perhaps this necklace was the last straw. I think it might be time for you two to uncouple and break up.
Thank you. I’m already Googling to see what I can find!!
Without communication there is no relationship. Without respect there is no love. Without trust there is no reason to continue .

Thanks! ?
Things like bragging, making mildly insensitive comments, general childishness. Nothing major but enough to make me doubt our compatibility.
Platonic or not. Do you have boundaries? Emphasise on your limit and consequences of her actions
