Why doesn't my boyfriend comfort me? He is
otherwise a very loving, affectionate
person. However, when I am upset, he never
knows what to say. But the moment he is
upset, I have to rush in to comfort him. It
makes me feel emotionally isolated and, to
an extent, as if I am "mom." What's going on
here?

You answered your own question.
If he's warm and caring all other times, it must be that he
doesn't know what to say. A lot of guys turn into deer in
headlights when a woman is upset. They don't know what
to say and they don't have confidence in their own ability
to comfort you, so they just detach. Knowing how to
encourage someone who's down is a skill that takes
practice, and a lot of guys get no practice until they are in
a relationship. You become their learning curve, and a big
part of any learning curve is failure.
Obviously, you need to tell him how you feel: isolated,
neglected, like you're his mother. Remind him that you need
to be comforted just as much as he does when things go
wrong. But more importantly--this is key--tell him that he
doesn't have to be Dr. Phil to help you. Guys tend to lack
confidence because they don't have some groundbreaking
insight into your dilemma, but all you really need is someone
to listen and say, "You're right" and "I'm sorry" and "How
can I help?"
It took me a while to learn this as a husband. I'm a
problem-solver by nature, so when my wife would come to
me with a problem, I would start telling her what she
needed to do to fix it instead of just shutting the hell up
and listening. You don't need solutions at that moment; you
need love and support and a shoulder to cry on. You need an
advocate and a friend, not a dad or a brilliant therapist.
Tell your guy this. All he needs to do is commiserate and
listen. It's not hard; anyone can do it. Even him.
Thanks for the question.

Friends?
Sometimes I just feel I have friends that dun really care.
Does the problem lies with me?
I hate that feeling. And I probably will feel that way very soon

happy new year?
Everyone seems to be enjoying the new year. Why can't i?
Is not my fault that my father is this way, its not our fault.
Why do we have to get punished for it?
I just don't understand what he is thinking, just don't understand why is it me or us?
I wanna enjoy every moment of the new year but didn't get to.
It just sucks to be me or us.
I should just go enjoy drinking and get out of the house not bothering about anything like what my bro did.
yea... happy new year.

Something deep inside... Get it out!
Haven't blog for a long time.
Today, there is something bugging me. Something heavy, making my heart sink, maybe feeling worried.
I have a vague idea what is causing that.
It's a brand new chapter from tmr on. Hope it goes right and hope everything will be alright for both of us.
Exams and projects are coming soon! Hope this period pass fast.
I miss you already...

Whenever sang my songs
On the stage, on my own
Whenever said my words
Wishing they would be heard
I saw you smiling at me
Was it real or just my fantasy
You'd always be there in the corner
Of this tiny little bar
My last night here for you
Same old songs, just once more
My last night here with you?
Maybe yes, maybe no
I kind of liked it your way
How you shyly placed your eyes on me
Oh, did you ever know?
That I had mine on you
Darling, so there you are
With that look on your face
As if you're never hurt
As if you're never down
Shall I be the one for you
Who pinches you softly but sure
If frown is shown then
I will know that you are no dreamer
So let me come to you
Close as I wanted to be
Close enough for me
To feel your heart beating fast
And stay there as I whisper
How I loved your peaceful eyes on me
did you ever know
That I had mine on you
Darling, so share with me
Your love if you have enough
Your tears if your're holding back
Or pain if that's what it is
How can I let you know
I'm more than the dress and the voice
Just reach me out then
You will know that you're not dreaming
Darling, so there you are
With that look on your face
As if you're never hurt
As if you're never down
Shall I be the one for you
Who pinches you softly but sure
If frown is shown then
I will know that you are no dreamer
On the stage, on my own
Whenever said my words
Wishing they would be heard
I saw you smiling at me
Was it real or just my fantasy
You'd always be there in the corner
