i’m doing some reflecting on my 2 year relationship and am realizing there are some non-negotiables that have not been met. e.g., admiration. what do i do? we come from similar backgrounds and my family loves him. i love him. but idk if i’ll ever be loved for me. is it worth trying to work it out if admiration/endearment isn’t in his personality? i am very big on appreciation and i don’t feel it.

would really appreciate advice from people who have gone through similar situations.
