i have been with my boyfriend for just about 10 months. we've broken up a couple times but it's only lasted a week or two at the most each time. about 4 months ago i told him i loved him, and he never said it back. but now, he's saying that we are "meant to be", but yet he doesn't love me. also, he keeps me hidden from everyone else in his life. the last time we broke up his best friend didn't even know we were back together for about a month, he just doesn't talk about it. he says he doesn't like to "show it off". i feel like he is ashamed to be with me, even though he assures me that he's not. i also do not understand how we can be "meant to be" if he doesn't even love me?
can someone please give me any thoughts/ideas?
