Love Sux...

...Or maybe it's just my boyfriend that sux!
Here's the situation. My BF & I started out under REALLY weird circumstances. (He was a new hire at my Dad's firm, where I also worked) I had not long been broken up with a guy that I dated for 7 years, when we met. So, it took me a REALLY long time to come around and get serious about this relationship. I'm not one of those people that falls in love at the drop of a dime - it's hard for me, what can I say???
Ok, so we've made it through all of that... everything has been goin' really well. I even received a ring for my last birthday! It wasn't THE big time engagement ring, but a symbol of where we've been and where we're headed. <- His words, not mine. Well, now, he's completely different. I'm mean like a totally different person. He doesn't take time to call like he used to. He's not the sensitive, intelligent, communicating man that I fell in love with. The problem is that I KNOW the type of man that he can be and HAS been for the past fews years, so it's hard to just let him go. What's a girl to do?? We have talked more times than I care to mention. It's so frustrating!! I wanna just scream!!!
Now, to his defense... he has a ton of stuff going on in his life. He hates his job, he has deadbeat BM, and his family is a mess. All of that... plus me. This is the problem: How can he be expected to handle all of that and me??? But that's exactly what I expect. We we so happy, for so long!! Now we're just barely making it.... What the hell??
