Disheartened

Tuesday's word: Disheartened
Contributor: N/A
Reason: because once again my boyfriend has disappointed meI'm becoming less and less confident about this relationship.

It feels like we're retreating back to the timid days of the relationship, minus the warm fuzzy hugs and kisses. Meaning, now all there is is a lurking presence, with minimal physical contact, minimal heartfelt words, etc. I don't get ANYTHING from him, and so have gotten rather disheartened by this disappearance of all things that made this relationship work. Instead, now, there are disagreements, tears, and disappointment.
I don't know what to do anymore. More and more now I've been thinking of breaking up with him, but my love at least stops me from doing so. I love him, yet I don't believe that I can live my whole life with him. Why, why, why (not)? Why can't we just get past all these petty differences?
