I feel as though I'm in an emotionally abusive relationship, even though I am technically single. We're friends with benefits, but it feels like more than that to me. They say that actions speak louder than words, so looking at it like that, he sees me as something more too, but he won't take it to the next level. However, in the last couple weeks, he hasn't been as affectionate as usual. I'm not looking for theories or advice, I'm just here to vent. I know this is just a "rough patch" cuz we've had a few of those in the last few years. It's just been a bit much to deal with lately. I feel like his emotional punching bag or whipping girl. I just think that at this point, he takes me for granted and can sometimes see me as less of a friend and a bit more of an annoyance. Maybe it's cuz we spend so much time together. He's not trying to "control" me or belittle me verbally, but he practically never compliments me and can sometimes be quick to dissmiss things I say or comments I make cuz he hasn't seen the whole picture or isn't as open to my point of view. Anyway, that's all I have to say for now. I'll see if I make any changes based on recent events...
