i'm sorry for posting about him a lot, i'll probably refrain from it after this. he usually feels empty even though he also feels excited and happy to see me and all that. he always says he doesn't know when i ask him anything. i give him gifts and he promises to and he doesn't. he always is busy and when he's not, he plays video games and claims he wants me to join but then he says he doesn't have time because he's too busy with his own interests to wanna talk to me or even play with me, and he loves video games. he says he's a horrible bf, and while i doubt that, he just switches up so much and it makes me sad. first off, he said he still liked his ex issac, then he told me i made it up and that he never said that. second, he says he doesn't know if he loves me and we should probably break up, but then he wants me to stay!! i don't wanna have to break up with him but i can't deal with someone who puts their interests over their partner and who says stuff and switches up, nor someone who says "that's the way i am".

every time i ask if he can do something for me, he can't because he puts his interests first. i have to ask him to treat me with as much importance but he says it's the way he is and that he can't. he's starting to make me really sad and i think i'm losing feelings for him after all that happened. he can't love me as much as he once could love someone, he said. i don't know what to believe, he switches up so much. he can't show affection either because it's how he is.
