My relationship isn't what I want it to be. What do I do?

So I've been with my boyfriend for 11 months as of today. First off let me start by saying we didn't have a normal relationship and I don't want to hear any judgment on it please. We moved to fast and moved in together after only 4 months of being together. Before we moved in together we lived I'm different states and hardly saw each other. I love him very much and he says he loves me too but I feel that I am no longer a priority in his life. He isn't as sweet and dependent on me like he used to be. I've talked to him about my feelings about our relationship and he always apologizes and says he'll do better but things never change. I'm on the edge of giving up because I am no longer happy. Any advice?

    Paige,

    A relationship is never easy and it always need compromising..How about this since you have already talk to him about how you feel then show him what you want. Sit and talk..Make a list of thing that both need to work on so you both know what to expect from one another. Don't argue..Just write down in a list and then each of you will read to another what they wrote..Now discuss, like for example if either of you say like I need time for my self cause I feel you are all over me sometimes..Ok what do you exactly mean by this..Like you need a day to like be out with the guys and take out the stress? Like then he read what you write like need more time with you or I feel you don't listen to me any more or share your time with me..Then compromise by saying you will have your day with the guys and I expect for you to give me your whole attention a day with any interruption and you can then tell him like have a date night or a intimate night or even doing anything together. Compromising in responsibilities around the house is also good for the relationship this way if in the future there is a decision in engaging then it will be more easy. Make yourself clear in what you mean..Remember good moments together..Your laughs, your cries, and your happiness. Good luck and I hope it works for you.. :)

    I say, talk to him about this as much as you can. Make sure that he really understands that this is a problem for you. Communicate this too his as CLEARLY as you can. Don't let him just say he'll change. Tell him to make a plan to change. If this plan is doable and makes sense, maybe stick around and see if things improve. If not, you may have to consider couple's therapy. The worst case scenario is that you might have to end the relationship. However, you sound like you want to stay together. So, communicate this again to him. Tell him to make an actual plan to improve the relationship. In the meantime, try to improve the relationship too.
