If the romance has gone out of your partnership, here are four ways to recreate that loving feeling, by Nikki Williamson.

Be grateful and appreciative, says Sharp, and express gratitude and appreciation.
Listen and then listen some more, he says. “Seek first to understand, only then to be understood.”
“Celebrate your partner’s differences and hold onto the reasons you felt attracted in the first place,” says Brown. “Make sure you have time to develop individual interests, external friendships and a sense of self, while keeping in touch with what matters most to each other.”
Be wise to the ways in which idealisation changes over time to create a more complex relationship. “Appreciate the person they are today. Value their differences, warts and all, and welcome the intimacy this invites," says Brown.

Sounds like he might be taking advantage of your love or the love that you give him. He needs to know that he cant treat you like that, no women should ever feel like how you are feeling. I have been through the exact same thing and the outcome is not great. I learnt the hard way, cryed myself to sleep nearly everynight and I always use to say to myself that he will change and one day I'll be happy........I just got hurt even more. You don't treat somebody that you truely love like that. If he can't give you the true love and respect that you deserve then dont be with somebody that is going to make you feel miserable everyday. It isnt to late to walk away. Stay strong x
