So confused? Love or Lust?

0

Ive been dating a 17 yr old guy whom I love very much, and it used to be obvious to me how much he loved me too. (I’m 27) Now things are different, he hardly texts me anymore (but when he does he says i love u or sends an x) He is vague and secretive sometimes, often chatting on his phone all day, then tells me hes going out drinking with mates at the last minute, never invites me anywhere and wonders why i get sad.
It doesnt help the fact that when we first got together it was a no strings attached thing, then he started seeing someone else and cheated on her to sleep with me (he did leave her a week later, but that thought is always in the back of my mind) Now things are getting uncomfortable between us, I feel like a discarded sex toy to be only picked up when he has needs. At night he rubs himself on me disrupting my sleep and pretty much annoying me. Its not a turn on at all. When he does want sex its very one sided and his needs are only tended to, never mine.
i love him so much but its hurting too much, I want to stay but want to leave for my own emotional security, I have tried discussing my fears and needs but he doesn’t seem to understand. Can anybody suggest a way for me to approach this with him again or should I just give up before everybody gets too hurt. It will honestly kill me emotionally, but these circumstances are doing the same thing, just slowly. Im so confused any advice would be great, pls

Well one, he might now be interested in your feelings anymore. I'm not saying he is, but it can be a possibility, but you can't expect someone who cheated on someone to be with you, and think he's not gonna do it to you. Or maybe he isn't aware about how you feel. So just sit him down and talk to him about your feelings, and if he doesn't care or change, leave for your own emotional safety.

boys are selfish. it sounds like you need someone as mature as you. i'm not knocking the age difference, when i was dating this girl who was 26, i was 18. aand she had way more life experience then me. i couldn't give her what she needed, but we let it go on anyway. and it ended horribly.

Not an answer but .. Imagine this.

Imagine he is with his friends

Laughing at how easy it is to sleep with stupid women
That they all just fall into his lap
And it is because he is blessed, charismatic and a good liar

That this is what women deserve
Not because they get emotionally attached, but because
They don't have any self-worth

Now .. Just imagine him doing this, with his drinking buddies

Imagine a guy you would be more attracted to.
Someone you'd find more worthy, maybe more honorable or just ..
More attractive.

That imaginary guy, has to concede that your boyfriend is right
That women don't have self respect, and the best thing to do is to just lie and cheat

He'd have to
He'd be right

You make him right ..

Because you don't think you're worth more ..
