honey, you're in a tough spot and i understand it's difficult and painful when you're in a relationship where it feels like you're doing all the giving and he's doing all the taking, but you love him and don't want to be without him. you sound like such a sweet, caring person...and you deserve to be treasured and loved and to feel like you're cared for and the center of his world sometimes. there's no reason if he's not contributing financially that he can't contribute to the housework and he DEFINATELY should be there for you emotionally. i'm kinda concerned that he's acting like he can't be bothered to do the things that should come naturally when you love someone. cuddling, holding each other, kissing, talking, etc. it sounds like you may have some self esteem issues but honey, you DESERVE love and you should feel special to him. don't sell yourself short babe.
