Frustration.
I am fully invested in this relationship- every fiber of my being is-but it’s like you don’t feel the same way, even though you say you do. I understand how you’re feeling right now: you say you’re numb and that every part of your life seems duller, but I need you to try to see past that. Where your head is right now spells trouble for us because I feel like I’m trying to hard to help you and figure out what needs to change, and you’re just sitting there watching me.
These problems with our relationship are not because of our relationship, they’re because of how you feel and how you’re perceiving the situation. Of course our relationship doesn’t feel the same, you don’t feel the same. Last semester was horrifically stressful, and we shut down; both of us went emotionally numb and stopped growing and trying to nurture this, but I’m done with that and I need you to be too because otherwise this relationship won’t grow anymore.
