In my marriage, I was too afraid to speak up. In my relationship with my LT boyfriend, I felt freer to speak up and worked so hard to be heard, but the more I shared my feelings, the more it stayed the same. Nothing would ever change. For a day, it always seemed like it would but then he'd go back to ignoring me (but not other women) but telling me he loved me when I asked for the same consideration. I found if they can't address the smallest of matters,they won't address the big ones. Leave.
