<human>: we've been seeing each other for eight months now and a large amount of that time has been arguing. i get hurt very easily by what he does and i think i expect too much of him. i'm overly sensitive and have my own issues such as low self esteem and bulimia and when he says or does something i perceive as hurtful i fall really hard and i struggle to let it go. i found out about something he'd been lying to me about last month and that really hurt me more than i've ever felt, and since then it's been almost all arguing.

we're also now long distance as we both go to the same university and it's summer. it's not too far apart, around a 3.5 hour drive but it's making things harder.

he said it's got to the stage where he doesn't really see me as his girlfriend anymore, just someone he has to make better and that almost everything i do annoys him. the arguments start so easily and escalate so quickly and we say really awful things to each other. and he says he feels broken down and has no energy left, which is how i also feel. but we do love each other.

i know the obvious thing here is to break up but i'm determined to give this one last chance where we both change. 

so my question is, does anyone have any ideas how i can give this one last big try while still giving him the space he says he wants? things i can do to show my appreciation for him, little romantic ways i can treat him? most importantly, how i can help him feel less drained and just kind of build him up again?
