[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This question is too hard to answer.

In some ways you're just describing an incredibly common male - female dynamic.

I turn to my female friends when I need deep emotional support and that's fine with me. He will listen to me cry if I need to but doesn't say the right things so friends are better.  But you might need more.  It's too hard to say- personal decision. [/quote]

Maybe I am just asking for too much. I do go to other loved ones mostly. But sometimes I was a hug or some other form of support from him.[/quote]

If what he's offering isn't enough, he's not the right person for you. I rely on my female friends alot, but when I had a miscarriage I needed my husband to be supportive when I had a D&C, and to stay with me afterward. I love and lean on my female friends and close friends alot, but there are times when I need my husband. If there are times you need your boyfriend, and he doesn't offer any support during those times (and you've said the words "I could really use your support right now"), theres a possibility he's not the right guy.[/quote]
