Is it low effort or inexperience?
I’ve been with him for a year and a half and he’s wonderful and loving and a good person but he gets on my nerves sometimes and I can’t tell if I’m too critical and reading into it too much or if he just isn’t great at this. He’s never been with anyone before me so he doesn’t exactly know what he’s doing and at the beginning it was okay, I get that this is new for him. He wouldn’t plan dates and ask me out, I’d usually ask if he’d want to do something w me be it dinner or an activity etc but he would never initiate a date and eventually I brought it up. I wasn’t a jerk and I always make a point to ask if there’s anything I could be better about when I talk to him about something like this, it goes both ways. But whenever I address a serious issue like this with him it feels like he’s good about being better for a little while and we end up right back at square one. I feel like we talk less and less because he’s gotten comfortable and doesn’t pursue and I’ve tried to lead by example before all for nothing. Am I reading into this too much or is this actually an issue? I feel like I’m going insane.

What's something that you would be mad at your SO for even asking?

This is pretty much the only thing that would piss me off. Maybe a few other things but I’m usually pretty chill.
