All he does is bring me down... No matter what, I always bring him up and he can't do the same. My love language is words of affirmation. That's all I need sometimes, especially when I need it most

Prayers! Entirely up to you to keep the relationship going or to find someone who lifts you up too. I’d talk to God and sit down and have a serious conversation with him. You got this! 💕

I was in this situation too because I felt I had no where else to go. He eventually left me because I gained weight. I moved across the country. I hope your situation improves

I struggle with that too with my boyfriend it I learned we were raised very differently. But over time he has learned I need the words of encouragement and praise. He has become more patient and easy going but it wasn’t always like that. Been 5 going on 6 years and at first it was rough but it has gotten better the more we have come to understand the others point of view. He would say thing that were hurtful but when he explained where he was coming from I started not to take some of his words so personally because I know he’s trying to be helpful but is a guy and doesn’t know sometimes how it sounds
My fiance and I had this problem last year we didn't understand each other's love languages. We broke up 8 times bc of this lol. But last October we got back together and we just had to sit down and talk and really communicate and talk about our pasts and our future plans and how we feel about everything. It really takes being completely open on both sides to understand what each other needs. Also idk if it's the same case for your man but mine said he felt like I never tried so he never did in return and it was just a vicious cycle. I wish the best for you!
I think if you are honest about this you see it's all one sided and not a good situation. Protect your self and treat and love yourself the way you want him to. Put you first this time.
@Willowdawn you definitely want to tell him about how you feel. But if he doesn't comply with you or puts you down any more after you've opened up to him, don't let him be a part of your life. Toxic people are people who bring you down and only take what you give them without giving you back anything in return. It'll b mivh easier if you look for other friends. It can b very hard though, being that we really want a connection with some peoole and it can b hard making that connection. But you'll b a lot better if you let toxic people go out of your life and take time to find people who do support you.
Does he know your love language? Mine is acts of service and it took a long time until I realized he didn't understand me.
