hard to move on?

Question

my boyfriend hurt me. we used to be really happy, but for a while (like months) he didn't think about me at all, like no card on my birthday even though he knew it was that day. lots and lots of things. he used to make me cry, sometimes i think on purpose and he wasn't really supportive.

now he is starting to be sweet again, but i feel like i want more. he assumes i know he loves me, but i want him to show it a bit more. to be honest sometimes when he says something like 'your my baby' or 'i love you more than anything in the world' it actually hurts. cos i wanted to hear it before. i still love him, but then that means he can still hurt me, i am a bit more wary i do still love him though.

Answer 1

We all have love hunnie, dogs love, cats love, and I think rats do to a degree. The point isn't the love, we can find love, again, and again, and again, but the point still remains that love means NOTHING!!! If we don't use it right, which is what you've ran into, a boy who loves you, but has no clue how to hold that fire. So its up to you to keep beating yourself up with someone who doesn't deserve you or become someone he deserves, its up to you. Just realize loving ourselves is the SINGLE hardest thing to do, so we like to find someone else to do it for us....
