Thank you for interpersonal question, “Is it wrong to feel sad because my boyfriend never shares his food with me. (I sit there and watch him eat) Whenever I buy food, I always give him the first bite and share my food with him. What should I do?”
I want to commend you for being other-centered. You are sensitive and caring. It appears your boyfriend is self-centered without any consciousness of your expression of love for him.
Your feelings of sadness is not without any bases. To be fair to your boyfriend, one must ask, “How does he generally treat me? Does he show me respect and kindness? Is he a giving person, one who can share or does he generally take from me?”
If he shares and cares for you, then there is hope in building and expanding that relationship. If he primarily takes without caring and sharing, I would caution in continuing that relationship. If you wish to continue the relationship, then consider having a “heart to heart” conversation with him. Take the time to express your feelings to him. If warranted, express to him what are your hopes and dreams together.
If you are in the dating stage, there is no serious commitment to each other. If you are in the steady stage, there is some commitment to each other. Since I don’t know your ages, it is difficult to comment beyond this point. If one is in the 20’s, then ultimately you are looking for a long term relationship. Be reminded that most young men are less mature than young woman. You don’t want to be a mother to him but you want a life partner who can share dreams together.
SUMMARY: Honest and love are the foundations in building a lifetime relationship.
