Why can't anyone stay in love with me?

I have only been in 3 slightly serious relationships before the one I am in now. The first was high school, and didn't seem to make much of an impact on how I view relationships or men. The second, I was 19 and believed I was in love. We only dated for 9 months, and he dumped me. Being honest and telling me he could never see himself married to me. I had alot of maturing to do, and now see what we had would not have worked. The third, wasn't even a real relationship, in the fact that we started out as roomates, and it became much more. He never considered us to be dating, but we slept together and I came to all family functions. Although this did not stop him from being with others. After about a year, this came to an end as well and I moved out. I have had some serious psychological issues because of intimate relationships in my life and I am scared I am ruining something good I have now with my current boyfriend. We have been together now just over a year. He knows all the good, bad and ugly about my entire life. We live together. But now it seems like there is starting to be some distance between us. I know that clawing on to him will only push him to be more distant, but what can I do to help me make this work. He is amazing, and I do love him. Why can't I keep someone around? Why can't someone stay in love with me?

Love is the battery of life....

Hi Farmergal,
I have the feeling your boyfriend gets bored.  If that is the case try to spice it up.  I would strongly recommend on a different route: Open heart-2-heart Discussion.  Tell him exactly how you feel about him and that you want this relation to develope.  Tell him that you are ready to go several miles to make this relation work.  What you need for that his cooporation starting by telling you how he sees it and waht you can do together to make it sucessful.   In addition you must find a way to increase your low self confidence / esteem.   My impression is that you are a nice smart lady no reason to feel the way you do.
Best regards,

OronD gave you some excellent advice . ( Thumb up ) 

Honest COMMUNICATION is vital in all relationships .  It is a life line to the growth and closeness in the relationship .  If you feel you have some issues from past relationships , perhaps some counseling is in order .  On the other hand these past relationship ended because  " He "  was not the one , therefore allowing you to find Mr Right .  Talk to your current BF find out if the two of you want the same things in life and in this relationship .  Does he feel the two of you have a future together .  Does he have true love and passion for you .  This is not clawing it is honest communication and if he's uncomfortable about it perhaps he's not the one for you .  Choose wisely and communicate your love and undying devotion .  I wish you the best and the love of a good Man .

"Life is what you make it!  It takes a lot of hard work and perseverance. If we all threw our problems into a pile and saw everyone elses', we'd grab ours back!  However good or bad your situation is, it will change!  God does not promise us another day, so no matter how you feel, GET UP! DRESS UP! AND SHOW UP!

My dear lady, don't you know that when you move in with a guy (or let him move in with you), the man rarely wants to "buy the cow when he is getting the milk for FREE!"  That was your first mistake in your current relationship.  If you were dating instead of "shacking up", he would be happier to see you, be more attentive and romantic, and you would know that he wanted to be with you.  You each would have space to be yourselves and live your own lives, and then be together at selected times for fun, dining out, movies, dancing, etc.  All this falls by the wayside when you live together, because it no longer is a challenge, and MEN DO LIKE A CHALLENGE AND THE CHASE!  When they know they "have you", they lose interest!  You say he is "Amazing"!  What is so amazing about him? I really would like to know.  How did you meet him? Where?  When did you decide to live with him?  Is he educated? Good job? Goes to work Mon-Fri. and pays the bills? Does he help with household chores or expect you to do EVERYTHING? Is he Attractive?  Clean and well-groomed? Does he drink or do drugs?  All these things are important to answer.  Do you keep yourself attractive, well-groomed; clean?  Are you overweight or have you gained weight since you began dating?  Do you dress nicely and put on make-up even when you're not going anywhere?  Do you sometimes light candles and put on something sexy to create a romantic mood?

I suggest finding a good Therapist (your insurance may pay for weekly visits) if you have problems from your childhood that may be affecting your relationships. Some communities have free counseling at the Mental Health Clinic, so don't be afraid to ask or seek help. It's always good to have someone to talk to, who will help you work thru issues.  Good luck, and try to show more pride and confidence in yourself and appearance, and that will help you to feel more self-assured.

 

All relationships need work; and a really good relationship takes work on both parts.
