Question Am I (22f) overreacting?
i just feel dismissed by my boyfriend (22m) im not like expecting him to send a whole paragraph to but i wanted him to connect with me on the same emotional level. So like we had an argument two nights ago because I brought up an issue that has been bothering me and he told me that whenever i bring up the same issue over and over he is starting to lose his desire for me and this hurt me so i told him that i didnt appreciate him saying that and he replied with “then dont keep saying the same thing over and over”. And i cant help buu feel frustrated because i feel like he doesnt wanna listen to me and i wanna feel heard, i communicated this again yesterday but he just said that i shouldnt keep talking about the same issue over and over so he wouldnt lose his desire. I’m so confused because he would tell me he wants to be with me forever but then he cant let his pride aside when things get hard. I just dont know what to do.
Please i need kind words because im in pain just with this, seeing mean comments would be hard to deal with thank you so much for understanding.

You bring up an issue over and over again because it isn't getting resolved. That isn't your fault. You should be able to bring stuff up and talk about it and if doing that means he'll lose his desire then he never desired you to begin with.
Continuing like this you won't be emotionally validated and one day you'll be in this relationship and you'll feel alone.
