Some people really need to rethink their relationships because they don’t even sound real!

Check out how this guy got mad at his girlfriend for never being there for him.

AITA for telling my girlfriend I’m tired of chasing her after 6 years together?

My girlfriend (30F) and I (31M) have been together for 6 years. I’ve been planning to propose soon, but I’ve been struggling with issues I’ve brought up since day 1 of our relationship that haven’t changed.

He explains how things have been between them lately…

The main issue: I feel like I’m constantly chasing her for attention and affection, especially in social settings.

When we’re in groups with her family or friends, she won’t come to me – I always have to go to her. She won’t initiate conversation with me unless I speak first, and even then she just gives short answers without asking me anything back.

When I suggest things, she’ll say no, but when someone else suggests the exact same thing, she’ll do it. What makes this harder is that she’s bubbly and engaging with other people, but cold towards me.

It just gets worse!

It’s like she saves all her warmth for everyone else. I feel she always prioritize her convenience instead of our relationship.

Some examples of what I mean:

We usually meet closer to her place (2 hours commute for me). Even for my birthday celebration (we plan each other’s birthday), she still wanted me to travel to her area rather than meeting somewhere more convenient for me.

That’s INSANE!

At social gatherings with her family, she’ll leave me alone without saying anything, even though I don’t know her family well and was expecting her to include me or at least stay with me, or just check in from time to time if I’m alright.

When our relationship was struggling and was about to break up, I suggested couples therapy (which I offered to pay for). Her first concern was that the location was inconvenient for her.

I’ve raised these issues repeatedly over 6 years, but nothing has changed.

She’s been neglecting him forever!

Recently, I sent her a message saying that after 6 years together, I don’t want to feel like I’m still chasing her or courting her, and that I’m not going to pursue her all the time anymore.

Her response was just “?” and then silence.

It’s been over a day and she hasn’t messaged me. Historically, I’ve always been the one to reach out first and apologize, even when I’m the one who’s hurt.

He simply wants an answer!

I decided not to respond to the “?” because I felt like that would just be chasing her again. But now I’m second-guessing myself – was I too confrontational?

She’s never been in a relationship before, so maybe she doesn’t understand what she’s doing?

AITA?

OUCH! That’s a stingy situation!

Why would the girlfriend not show any bit of compassion?

Let’s find out how people on Reddit responded to this one.
