I posted this on a throwaway and it got deleted ;__; so ill try to remember what i wrote as much as possible. 

I love my boyfriend but he’s not the greatest at comforting me. He usually kind of dismisses what I say or barely responds and it makes me feel like im not worth listening to. it hurts a lot too because he wasnt this way at first? he used to voice his concern for me and apologize whenever he made me feel bad but now its the exact opposite.

I have my own support system (my longtime group of friends) but idk, I just would prefer comfort from my partner sometimes. It makes me depressed for days when I bring something up and he either diminishes it or ignores it. We have an age gap of 6 years so I wonder if that’s a factor in our different mindsets when it comes to mental health. 

I’m really tired of loving him one day and being mad at him the next just cause he didn’t respond to me the way I wanted him to. It just hurts so much. I feel lonely when I try to talk to him about my problems so I end up not doing so at all most of the time.
