I've been trying to tell my love of my life that I love him, but he doesn't believe in love. I truely care deeply about him and want to tell him how much I love him but it hard to say the words "I love you" to him when he doesn't believe in love. How can I tell him how much I care about him with out saying the words I love you?
Casper, I hate to say it but if he says he doesn't believe in love then he probably doesn't feel it. Its hard to feel the way you feel towards someone who doesn't return the emotion but to say you don't believe in love is the same thing as saying its never happened to you....not even now
Is it okay to feel afraid? because I am .... sometimes afraid of taking a chance, afraid of losing, even afraid of winning sometimes. I'm scared to love too much, scared to hold on too tight, when you may want to be free; scared of letting go when I need you to hold me. And I need to know if it's okay to feel afraid, because sometimes I am .... because I love you so much.
I had a similar problem with an ex-boyfriend. With him, "not believing in love" meant several things: ] 1. He'd been hurt badly, and he was scared. 2. He wanted to play around with every woman in sight (including me). 3. He wasn't ready to make a commitment. 4. He wassn't mature enought to admit that he'd been hurt, was scared, and wasn't ready to commit.
Is it possible that any of these things could apply to your situation?
You can show him you love him! Be patient, understanding, don't make demands on him, don't make him talk about something when he clearly isn't ready, don't issue ultimatims.
Be his friend! Go out with your friends, date other people, get invloved in hobbies or volunteer work. Let him see that you're happy with your life the way it is. Maybe that will help him come around.
kit, him and I broke up and he was controlling and accused me of doing things that I wasnt doing. he was all 4 of what you said. I lost all my friends because of him. He wouldnt let me have any friends that was guys and I had all friends that was guys. I got along better with guys then the girls around here. he's the type of guy that would get a woman to think she's in love and that he's in love with them then change by mentally and emotionly abused the woman then take just about everything that the woman have and dump her and say it isnt her then get back with her and do it all over again. it was all a mind game with him. and the worst part of it was that he would sleep with me and then act cruel to me afterward. read what (mikes2005) 4 and half yrs relationship with his ex girlfriend did to him and then you would see what mine did to me
I'm sorry you were treated like that by someone who said he loved you. I think that's horribly wrong. It's good to know that you're not with him any more. I hope that you find what you're looking for. Good luck!
