Okay, I know this is the worst place in the world for advice, but anyway.
No tits, that's why I'm here instead of /b/, duh.
So. I have been in a very intense relationship for the past 9 years. Crazy ups and downs, kid, etc. I am in love. I have put everything that I have into this relationship to make it work. i have been super forgiving, and accommodating and etc. I work, he doesn't. I still come home and clean and cook and etc. And I don't mind it, because I AM in love. And I really want to be with him.
BUT, every while, my dude blows up and just fucking takes my head off. Crushes me, really. More lately... And I just fold 'cause... what's the point. I don't want to fight.
And right now... I really want to take an honest look at everything and decide: am I the only one in love here? Not what I want. If I really bother him THAT much: I don't need the hassle. Am I fighting for something that doesn't exist?
I'm really scared to even think this way, because I don't want it to be true. But I don't want to be lying to myself either.
tl;dr: How do I know if the man I love actually loves me too?
