Mama Ren,
My boyfriend, whom I love very dearly, is making it hard to be romantic. Now- I know the general belief is that men aren't supposed to be super romantic- but now it's getting frustrating.
Today I made extra effort to get up early to go get a new computer chair with him, he's got a bad back and he needs one... He's having some car issues, so I was fine with driving him! Even IN week-before-yule traffic.
... But we get to the shop he wanted to go to and they don't have the kinds of chairs he wants. Moreover, he doesn't even have an inkling of what particulars he wants for his chair. Sucks, right? Well- we get into my car and while I turn on the music to brave traffic again he liSTENS TO CHAIR REVIEW VIDEOS ON HIS SPEAKER PHONES AREYOUKIDDINGME. It's not like he couldn't have done that EARLIER that day, either. We work night shifts, and while I had yesterday off- he did work- but he didn't go to sleep because he didn't want to.
We spend so much time in the car that by the time we get back over to his neck of the woods- I ask him if he wants to go to a novelty store. I try to ask him about the sort of stuff he wants to maybe... Try... And he just gives me a big old shrug. I buy something for myself and we leave... And the week before, when I asked him if he had a preference of clothing he'd want me to wear/what colors I'd look good in for a date (via text), he responded with "no not really". ((I was trying so hard to make it exciting))
I love this man, I swear. I really do. He's done some of the most romantic things for me anyone has ever done... BUT OH MY GOD today has been mounting frustration out of frustration. How can I ask him to put in a little more effort or meet me half-way without it coming off as an attack?
Maybe I just needed to vent?... Or someone to laugh with me? Idk. Today was a cavalcade of disasters.
Ok,
So I wanted to stir this a bit before answering and make sure I said what I meant to say. To me what it sounds like is an issue with communication.
For whatever reason he is being vague and then you are getting upset (understandably) and since neither one has told the other the issue the problem is being created...if left alone will only continue to get worse.
My advice is this. Be honest, but with compassion... here's what I mean. Talk to him about how you feel, something like:
"Hey love I noticed lately you seem disinterested or distracted when I ask you a question. Is something going on? I only ask because I value your opinion and really care about you, and it seems like you may be holding back."
Basically asking gently without using any inflammatory language so no, "Everytime I ask you something you ignore me by giving me a vague answer, what's up?" that will immediately make him defensive for sure.
Now, I am not a relationship expert by any means. Papa and I have certainly had our ups and downs, but we also have been together almost 15 years... I believe we are in it for the long haul and honestly the thing I know that has made us last is communication with a compassionate approach.
I hope this helps and sending you so much love sibling.
Go in sin

I just want someone to love me and be their special person but everyone makes me feel like I’m hard to love and It gets hard constantly fighting off the loneliness
hmm the best thing i can say is once you stop fighting being lonely and being ok with it and even enjoying it people will come to you easier
