What do you mean by "your anger" and "him not contributing to your relationship?"

Is your anger warranted?
What does he do, or not do, to not contribute to the relationship?

You're going to have to be more specific.

I don't agree with the whole "meant to be" trope. I believe that anything that's worth anything, requires work. Sure, sometimes people just "click." But not every relationship is that lucky. If you guys can get past this, then your payoff will be tremendous.

My girlfriend and I were on and off for 4 years now, fighting and going on breaks every few months. About a year ago, we had our "last" fight. Instead of breaking up again, I forced us to sit down and just put everything out there. What's working, what isn't working, why it isn't working. I would not accept "it just isn't" as an answer. Everything has a reason. We figured out what she and I like about each other, and what we don't like. We explain ourselves for the "don't like's", and try to work on it. After all, if it bothers your SO, more often than not, it bothers someone else too. And why not try and minimize your flaws to become a better person overall? Since that "fight", we haven't fought in over a year, and we are now closer than ever. The honesty and connection is just on a whole other level now.

You guys have to get into each other's headspace, see what the other's seeing. That's the only way you'll truly understand each other. If your feel your relationship is worth fighting for, that "talk" is definitely worth having.

If not, then, well. Nothing left to do but move on.
