You are a proactive and caring person by being such a caring partner to your boyfriend and good on you</P> <P>Loving your boyfriend with all your heart is wonderful. You mentioned that you have put a lot on the line for him and thats fine.....as long as you have the same feelings in return from your boyfriend</P> <P>Relationships work well on a 50/50 basis. I hope your boyfriend respects and appreciates the love you have for him <EM>and</EM>...<EM>can treat you just as well</EM> in your relationship. Can I ask if your boyfriend has explained why he sometimes pushes you away?</P> <P>Great to have you as part of the forum family Abbey </P> <P>you are an amazing person by having the courage to post</P> <P>Paul</P> Sun, 05 Jan 2020 12:31:33 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/young-people/my-story/m-p/457605#M19921 blondguy 2020-01-05T12:31:33Z
