My boyfriend [29] and I [20] have been dating for almost 10 months now and I'm not feeling very secure about our relationship, but I think he does. I feel like he doesn't appreciate me anymore and almost like he is only using me for sex. 

I've tried everything I can think of. I've even brought it up with him before, but he just tells me that I am trying to change him and that I need to try to understand that he shows his emotions differently. I feel guilty when I bring up our problems, but he used to beg me to talk to him so he could try to fix it. Now if anything is wrong he tells me I am being silly and if the timing is right he blames it on my period.

He used to be so sweet and understanding and he always wanted to hang out. Now whenever we are together he just plays video games. He acts like it's a chore to cuddle with me. He won't even hold me when we sleep together anymore. Kisses seem like a nuisance, too. But he is always up for sex. 

I've tried everything. I've bought him gifts, cooked things for him, I never say no to anything he wants to do even if it doesn't interest me, I try to talk to him, and I've made it very clear that I like being physical through actions other than sex. 

He never smiles anymore unless we are with friends or he has been drinking. But as soon as we are away from friends he gets quiet again. He keeps saying he loves me, but it's not enough. 

On top of all of this, I've developed a new crush on a boy who is always smiling at me and making me laugh. But I don't know how he feels about me. It would be complicated because his best friend is also the best friend of my boyfriend.

Relationship with boyfriend is lacking emotional support, but I suspect he does not appreciate me anymore. New crush on a boy who is always happy to see me makes me question

My boyfriend is acting distant and distant with me but I think he might be in love with me too. Should I even bother fighting it? Should I leave him?
