Question

I've been dating my boyfriend for a year now, and on paper, he's perfect - good job, nice family, very the caring lor. But sometimes when we're together, I feel like something's missing, and I don't know how to explain it, meh. We don't really talk about our feelings that much, and when we do, it's very the awkward, like we're trying to avoid something. My parents love him, and they're always asking when we're getting married, but I'm not sure if I'm ready, Can or not? I feel like I'm just going through the motions, and it's scary because I don't want to disappoint my family, but at the same time, I don't want to be in a relationship that doesn't feel right, sia. Has anyone else ever felt this way?

Sophia Martinez · Answer

I was in a similar situation a few years ago and I gotta say it's super frustrating when everything looks good on paper but doesnt feel right. Ngl my ex was perfect too but we just didnt connect on a deeper level. What helped me was having real talks with him about how I was feeling instead of just avoiding it. We started doing this thing where we'd set aside time to just talk about us and our feelings without any distractions. It was kinda awkward at first but it actually brought us closer together for a bit. Tbh it didnt work out in the end but at least I knew I tried. Maybe try doing something like that with your boyfriend and see how it goes?
