I was once stuck where you are. First boyfriend ever, 5 years in couldn't bear the thought of "starting over" so I stayed. Guess what he said when I complained I wasn't getting enough affection, loves, hugs, kisses, sweet nothings? Well you should know I love you. Well to his dismay I left and found someone who didn't have a problem SHOWING me he loved me in the way I want to be loved not the way HE thinks love goes. Tough for him he's been single for 5 years and I'm engaged. I don't think he ever learned how to love a woman- maybe in the next 5 years.
