Seems like getting rather cold, dull..., understand that it's common in a long r.s
It's not a matter of miscommunication, where things are always being talked out, although both are trying to give in....
The bf's an insensitive and possessive kinda man,
The gf's a freedom seeker..
The bf always hope that the gf pays attention to him.
But he himself will often neglect the gf's feeling.....
The bf's get easily blow up....
The gf will compromise, even though she is upset and will try to cheer the bf up...
The bf's is insecure, cos most of the gf's friends are guys, and all were classified as 'Dangerous' by the bf, so the gf's gets rather hard to go out...
The bf's is not that bad, he can be a real gd man that dotes on his gf...
The r.s is hoping to get further till everlasting marriage...
if as all the above, is dis r.s healthy?
or shld it be sorted out asap?


Do not let others or ‘common case’ influence you; 4 years of relationship isn’t cold & dull if both party doesn’t want it to be – we plant our own seeds and guide the way we want them to grow. If that’s how we think of a long relationship, that’s how it will turn out to be.
Your issue doesnÂ’t revolve around communication and in fact, because you both did communicate somehow. Effort are seen and put in to keep it upright. Your relationship lasted till now because both of you is willing to make the relationship work, but failed to understand what is the world like beneath these problems and what antidote is needed to cleanse the clog in your relationship.

Freedom and possessiveness always conflicts directly.
Compromising can only achieve an instable emotional balance temporary – it doesn’t solve problem. In fact, I can see hot-cold treatment in the relationship. In astrology, there are bound to be days where tempers are unleashed on bad days of relationship – for yours, it’s like virus lurking under your relationship. It wrecks much havoc the minute it has the chance to and return to its ‘hideout’ after the blow.

A careful study of your boyfriend will reveal three likely characteristics that exist:
I) Easily jealous
II) Possessive
III) A little chauvinist
These personalities come with him because of his perception in love. He view love as possession and therefore to prevent it from slipping, he grips tightly – completely unknown to him that his nails has sunk marks onto his own love. You felt the pinch and try to move to a more comfortable position up and he grips further, hurting all parties. [His own hands (him), his possession (love) and you].
Why?
Low self esteem and confidence is fueling these traits in him. If you could have a decent life outside the relationship - he would definitely lose his lifestyle to watch over you. This is terribly unhealthy for CloUdiSm States:
One must have life outside their relationship. Please note: he is not being protective of you; in fact he is
being protective of his own interest. He doesn’t trust himself and doesn’t trust man in general (of course, as for the latter, there are good reasons to). In his mindsets, he attempts to cage his own love and this limits the growth of the relationship and because you have led a long relationship – the relationship would have hit a critical peak.

A complete stagnant when your love cries for the sky outside the cage.
Why fear others who may or may not be ‘dangerous’ as he claims negatively when the battle is all about himself? Who can successful win you over if the relationship is strong and have he realize what he is
going against making it strong? Your relationship APPEARED to be strong, but termites are eating the interior of your love – it will leave you empty and crave for another substitute of growth gradually especially when your relationship is giving you very low returns.
Who benefits from the destruction of your relationship?
HIS COMPETITORS! Ironically, he is
‘giving’ his love to his most feared nightmare.
P.S: In art of seduction, men like him are the least resistance against others’ seduction crashing against your will and your situations makes you very vulnerable. You want marriage to happen? It’s not even about the both of you (financially, etc) – have your love attain that level yet? Or is it anywhere near it?
