How do I communicate my (28F) needs to my boyfriend (31M) without making him feel like he’s failing?

It sounds like you have been trying to communicate your needs and feelings in a respectful way, but it is not being heard or addressed. It is understandable that you feel frustrated and alone in the relationship. It is valid to want reassurance and comfort right now, and it is important to be able to express your feelings and needs in a relationship.

It may be helpful to talk to your partner about how you are feeling and what you need from them. It is important to be honest and open about your feelings, and to be clear about what you need from them. You can also suggest ways that they can show you that they care and are listening to your needs. You may also want to consider couples counseling, which can help you both learn how to communicate better and address any issues that come up in the relationship.
