Answer:

It might be time to move on and get out of this relationship..He seems distractted..Maybe you should just sit your guy down and ask him,do you want to call it quits? see what he has to say about that..Tell him that you feel like he does not love you anymore,and ask him IF HE still loves you..Find out where you stand,because it seems you are just standing there and not getting anything out of this relationship..Its ok to ask questions but you need to ask some deeper questions..like where is this realtionship going? Good luck to you

Answer:

It seems your self esteem is being affected by your relationship, look back at what you wrote and noticed how unloved you feel. You feel he love his family , the dog, and everyone else more than you. It is time to go back to basics, begin by loving yourself first and improving your life from within. You are obviously trying you found this inspirational site. If you have been together for 14 years ask yourself, How do I deserve to be treated after all these years?Best of luck

How old are you if you dont mind me asking? Do you have a job outside of the home? I'm just wondering because I was in a situation that was kinda of similar to yours years ago. I wish you well. He does not hit you right?
