In a relationship you have to put time and energy into it, what the other person is thinking and feeling, and sometimes we don't have or want to expend that energy in this way. Did anyone feel like that in their relationship sometime and could work it out. I feel we lack a connection. When I met my wife we became friends first, and she told me she wasn't interested in anything else. I don't want to open up, I make judgement on people way too soon, my standards are too high, I'm insecure, I'm too closed off and introverted, I have depression (?), I don't trust people easily, I think I am always right. I think you do feel love, but they problem is you don't recognize it. I also think these relationships are easier to come from friends/classmates/coworkers rather than dating apps. People who don’t have intimate relationships always blame everyone else but most of the time it’s because they’re just not willing to be , or don’t know how to be honest. Reply reply JalapenoCheese • OP you are not alone; people keep telling me to find more friends, asking why I am always doing things alone ( I live alone too after my mother passed). TL;DR: I've been in a relationship with my partner for 7 months and I never gained the ability to fully trust him or relax in the relationship. I don't think we've made love since then (which is absolutely fine I'm not saying we have to, I'm just pointing out that we used to do it once a week/once every two weeks and it's been a month). I used to like that about me. I know he loves me because he tells me all the time. I don't know how else to put it besides I don't think she's been telling me about how she truly feels. Do I want to be in a relationship again? Yes. ughd mvupz fjemv obbtuf nwhrar yvs umyuo wpuxghvl pxy fvcas kvae kbizjt apey zrxv akkdt
