boyfriend is emotionless so what do I do?
My boyfriend is emotionally unavailable. he never tells me when he has a problem or when he’s upset about something which bothers me because I want to be the person he comes to. He never tells me how he feels about me which doesn’t really give me the reassurance about our relationship. Dates are never initiated by him. He rarely surprises me. He never initiated sex and when he does, it’s mostly about him. I mean sure he will tell me “I never want to lose you” but... why? He goes with anything so how do I know what’s real. He tells me he never wants me to change so it makes me feel bad when I want something to change. yet i seem like the only one with needs in the relationship and that’s not okay. I feel like i’m dating myself sometimes. The solution seems like to break up with him, I know but he’s never done anything to actually hurt me, the pros: he never talks to girls (which is a big plus!) always wants to talk (i’m the one starting the convos, if it was him, it would go like “wyd” 393929 times” would never insult me, I want to be okay with him so bad and love him, but this feeling is reoccurring. I feel like I won’t find someone else like him, but that one trait of being emotionless and closed off is just something I can’t let go. (btw we’ve been dating for a year and we’re 20)
yes I’ve tried talking to him about it, he just blames me for “starting fights” and only changes for temporary time to shut me up.

You already know what you need to do. He isn't meeting your needs and he made it clear that he won't change. You two are incompatible. All the positive things you have to say about him are bare minimum expectations. There is literally nothing he has to offer you that can't be found in someone who can show affection and will actually treat you like you matter. Raise your standards. Fear of change isn't a good enough reason to stay in an unhappy relationship.
