Should I break-up with boyfriend??

Should I break-up with my boyfriend? I've been with my current boyfriend for 8 months. Usually the first 2-3months its blissful and happy but I DIDNT FEEL THIS WAY AT ALL. We went on holidays together after 1 month of being together. I discovered that he's not an AFFECTIONATE PERSON. He's very cold and no warmth. Maybe he's just born that way! I once try holding his hands in public and he moved away. The other nite, I kissed him goodbye and he 'MOVED' AWAY so I kissed his cheek instead. I know he has a very stressful job and I believe its the cause of how he treats me sometimes. When a guy is in a foul mood, stay away from him.
He went away to Australia for 3 days and he never even sms or called me to say hi. I had a talk with him about his LACK OF AFFECTION and he admits he's not AN AFFECTIONATE PERSON. I told him I cant continue a relationship with a guy who has no affection. we spoke about this in January. There's no perfect guy but all I want is guy who shows some love & care towards me. Imagine if we had kids.. he would SHOW NO AFFECTION TOWARDS his own kids-that would be terrible!

He has some good qualites I guess. But whenever I'm with him.. I dont feel loved or feel special. His best friend told me that my boyfriend does care for me BUT SHOWS IT IN VERY FUNNY WAYS! Not the traditional way that's for sure!

I've had soo much mixed feelings with him and sometimes I just WANT TO END THE RELATIONSHIP. He treats me more like a friend than a girlfriend. He's a bad kisser and not so good in bed either. He makes no effort in our relationship. Would NEVER BREAK HIS BACK FOR ME.

pLS ADVICE..

That's a really tough call Haley. There are a couple ways you can approach this... it's really good that you are discussing it with him though, that is half the battle already won in your favour. You should again discuss it with him when he gets back from Australia though. Have a sit down, face-to-face talk about it. Tell him really how much it hurts you. This isn't just a silly little pet-peeve that will go away over time. If he cannot even kiss you goodbye, what the hell kind of person is he? You can be intimate, and have sex, but you cannot even kiss your girlfriend goodbye at night?!?! It sounds to me like he was probably given a lack of affection as a child. I bet his parents rarely said 'I love you' to him, or kissed him either. You cannot change how he is now, because of how damaged he could've been as a child... all you can do is talk about it. If it is a problem that you constantly think about, maybe a breakup could be a positive thing. If he comes back to you, he is yours... if not, then just move on girl. You sound like a very loving person who deserves to be loved back... set him free, if he comes back, he's yours.

Sorry I don't have advice ,but my boyfriend sounded a lot like yours no affection, kissing touching, and to tired to make love !

Get OUT. What are you in the relationship for if there's not enough affection? That's the whole purpose of a relationship as opposed to friendship.

It might be difficult but you have to stay away from him for some time - take a break. Sit down and ask yourself if You can bear his lack of affection. This is a very serious issue. Talk to him about it, tell him how you feel about his cold attitude towards you. If you don't notice any change then call it quits. Probably, if he loves you he might come back ready to make an effort to change but if not, he aint for you!

I agree in taking a step back. I made the mistake of moving in with someone who is not compatable in the affection and sex space. I would walk out of the bedroom in a sexy outfit, and he would just sit glued to the computer. We would have sex 1-2 times a month if that. If I initiated, he would say that he couldnt just get in the mood. I felt like it was me for a whle. Then I realized, al;thopugh everything else is good,... do you want to spend your time with someone who doesnt bring out the beautiful sexy side in you??? hell no! I am about to end a 3 yr relationship with someone who made me feel like had to beg for sex. Take the time out for you... love yourself. Its amazing how much better you feel about yourself when you are independent... you look at yourself in the mirror and say- Im freaking hot Forget the idiots that are too busy thinking about other men, their hair... or their own insecurities. You dont need it in your life.
