Is this a mismatch and can it be fixed
I have a boyfriend and he’s genuinely a good man. He’s loyal, tries his best, and I can tell he cares about me. The problem is I don’t feel emotionally connected to him the way I expected to in a relationship.
Most of the time I’m the one carrying conversations. We can literally sit together for hours without talking much, and instead of it feeling peaceful, it sometimes just feels empty.
He’s also not naturally romantic. He’s not really into emotional expression. I know not everyone is like that, and I don’t think he’s intentionally neglectful l think that’s just who he is.
He’s a good partner on paper.
I can’t tell if I’m expecting too much from the relationship, if this is just a personality mismatch, or if emotional compatibility is actually something important enough that it can make or break a relationship
