He says he loves me so why wont he fight for me?

I have split up with my partner of 3 years who i live with because he never put any thought into our relationship and never makde me feel special he understands what he's done but i broke it off because i don't feel that he truely loves me.
He said he still loves me and after our talk i thought he'd put the effort in now to not let me leave but im wrong im cryin in the night every night and he seams fine acting like nothings happened, what do i do because i want to be with him i just want him to make me feel worth it and special for once and fight for me please help thank you

What are your expectations of him? What is he not doing that you think he should be doing?

I know what you are going through... I just broke up with My boyfriedn of three years for the same reason I was not feeling like a priortiy in his life it was more like I was convientient to help him. He would always tell me that he loved me and wants to spend all of this time with me only there was never any follow through on his part.

When he found out that I was starting to date again he was all about sending me message about how he wants me back but the second that I asked him what will happen a few weeks from now if things would change he knew that he wasnt ready to be the man I need him to be, so my advise is no matter how much it hurts and you love this guy you need to love yourself more and if your needs arent being meet you need to find someone that gives you what you want and need and if its truely ment to be you will come back to eachother and he will realize how wonderful you are and that you deserved to be treated better. Men wont show how much they are hurting but they are... He prolly isnt ready to accept the thougtht of you leaving him if he is anythinglike my ex he will except you to always be there. Hope that helps

I suspect there are some self esteem issues going on here. You are seeking validation through him "Fighting" for you and you want him to "make you feel special".

You shouldnt be in a relationship because you "want someone to make you feel special". You should be in a relationship because you care and respect someone and enjoy being with them. You should try to figure out why you dont "feel special". Look past the hormonal period of the relationship because that wont last. Sounds cliche but you cant be happy with someone until your happy with yourself. (That goes for both in the relationship)
