Away From Home, Feeling Alone and Have Relationship Problems
by Richard B. Patterson, Ph.D.
It is a serious matter if one person expresses his/her needs and the other person refuses to discuss the issue. Perhaps your boyfriend fears that he cannot meet your needs. If so, however, he needs to be more upfront with you about that fear.
If he really is uninterested in meeting your needs, then perhaps it's time to move on. What you might want to try first, though, is to see if your boyfriend would be willing to see a therapist with you.
It might be worth trying to see if improved communication can make the relationship more satisfying. A good therapist will help you work through your relationship problems. If he is not right for you, you can work out your next step.
