We have only bin dating for 8 mounths?

(to start of sorry for my bad spelling ) things have gotten pretty out there, there are many stressful things going on in our lives, drama like crazy, i have put up with and bin through a lot with this guy. i have pushed aside a lot also. we both have tried to open up with each other, but the only thing we talk about are things that just end up adding more stress on the other. the one he was with before hurt him so bad, when he did everything for her, so he wanted to be carefull with me, which i understood, but he does nothing for me. he has told me storys of what he did for her and how she treated him and it just hurts that im getting the shitty end of the stick so to speak. the fact of being pushed aside has drained me, but i never spoke up and told him how i felt untill it was to late, im not saying that is all him either im sure i have done things that has kind of made him pull away from me.my problem is that the love flame in my heart has dimmed, and i dont know what we can do to fix it. if anyone can tell me any idea on how we can fix our problem please let me know.
