what u said there is true but wrong.
True : we gals do like our bfs to shower us with love, care,
tenderness, etc.
Wrong : this goes both ways. I'm sure the guys want and look for
the same love, care, tenderness, etc to be showered onto them. we
should NOT feel like we are the bf when we show our guys that we
love them. that's a wrong mentality. you cant expect to be the one
who recieves all the time.
As you said, the last time, you did not treasure him, and in turn
hurted him, you have hurted the trust HE has in YOU/Your
relationship.
how can you expect him to recover from that hurt and revert back to
normal?
You have to spend time to earn back the trust you have lost.
To him, he may be reluctant to plunge right back in again in case
he gets hurted again.
If you were in his shoes i'm sure you will be taking your time to
warm up again....
Bottomline, stop looking in the mirror! look at him! Talk to him.
Help him trust you again.
