Remember, the same is true for you! Put yourself out there to meet new people and you may just find someone you click with and forget all about the guy you walked away from.
Try saying something like, “Sometimes I feel taken for granted in this relationship. I’d really love it if you could make it a point to show your appreciation for all I do for us. Just saying “thank you” would mean a lot to me. ” Alternatively, you might say, “I don’t always feel like a priority to you. Could we set aside a few nights a week where we spend quality time together without being on our phones?” Give him a chance to respond to what you said and let you know what he needs out of the relationship as well. If you’re both willing to make some changes to meet each other’s needs, you can make things work.
It’s best to make a clean break and go no-contact so you can heal. Don’t get discouraged if things didn’t work out. Staying in a bad relationship, you can miss the chance to build a good one. Moving on allows you to find someone that is a better match for you.
