“ I had been dating a woman I met through an app, and we talked every day before and after meeting for dinner. After that meeting, she stopped replying for about a day, which is unusual for her; I am worried about her and also worried that she may have been disappointed or no longer interested. ”

How can I tell whether leaving is the right choice when I still care about her but feel that my efforts have not made the relationship feel close or mutual?
I have been trying hard to make my girlfriend happy for about a year, including spending money on gifts and activities, but I still feel lonely, shut out of parts of her life, and unsure that she really knows or wants to know me. I am now wondering whether I should leave.
How can I reconnect with Tiffany and tell her what she means to me without feeling like I am making the possibility of losing her more real?
Tiffany, my sister-in-law, feels like the other half of me, but she has cancer and we do not talk much because life is complicated. I am afraid to tell her how much she means to me because I do not want to lose her.
Does your girlfriend expect you to text her every day?
I am dating a woman who wants me to message her every day and frequently throughout the day. When work or other responsibilities keep me from replying, we sometimes fight; she has said that not receiving a message makes her feel unsafe and that she wants reassurance that I miss her or think about her.
I want to tell my partner that I feel dejected because it seems he's forgotten me, and I'm needing reassurance, intentional connection and effort to show that he also misses me. How do I say this so I am heard, seen and loved on?
I'm traveling and missing my partner, across a 14 hour time difference. He's been working at a Swing Dancing event, and during his down time, he's been dancing and connecting with the other attendees. But then afterwards is too tired or distracted to share meaningful time and details about his day with me. I want to tell him how I feel and what I need, but I worry he will hear my hurt as an accusation that he is a bad partner.
