I Promised to Give Him a Chance

Ok… anybody out there with some helpful advice? My boyfriend and I are reaching our 3 year anniversary next month. We’ve been having a rough couple of months because a few months back he lost his job. I had to take this relationship by the reigns—I paid our bills, dinners, etc. Basically I wore the pants in the relationship. When he lost his job, it all fell apart. His grandmother passed away and he was different. Distant, sad, and he felt like a failure. No matter how much I encouraged him it still didn’t work. Then, he finally landed a job. He realized how he was treating so cold and distant and apologized.

I'm not sure I understand what the problem is.

Welcome to the board arnsiren,


Ok, I'm a little confused as well, but I'm going to make some comments on what you wrote and hope you will give us all some more information.


::He realized how he was treating so cold and distant and apologized.


My guess is you are still holding on to some resentment over the way he treated you and it's caused you to lose some feeling for him.
