Hello! I'm Jiang 61.
Thank you for sharing your story. It sounds like your boyfriend deleted you after an argument, which must have been very upsetting.
1. Result of an argument
After a fight, my boyfriend deleted me. I apologized and we added each other back on WeChat. He said he was wrong, but I don't love him anymore and I don't want sex. I still love him, but I'm protecting myself.
1⃣️, Deleted messages
After a fight, your boyfriend deleted your messages.
2⃣️, Offer to apologize.
After being deleted, you apologized and added him back on WeChat. He admitted he had a problem, but you couldn't feel his affection. There seemed to be a barrier between you.
3⃣️, you don't feel like you belong to him.
You don't feel he belongs to you, so you're not as enthusiastic about sex. You still like and love him, but you're more calm and want to protect yourself.
2. Reasons for this feeling
1⃣️, A major decision has been made.
If there are no major emotional issues, you wouldn't let your boyfriend delete contact because of an argument.
Deleting contact means the other person has made a big decision. It could be that he is heartbroken and has made a decisive move.
2⃣️, he's changed.
Time can cut through everything, including emotional ties. Your boyfriend probably has more disappointment than hope for you.
He decided to make adjustments, but you're still stuck in the past, and he's changed.
When you get in touch again, you're stuck in the past and can't accept the changes he's made.
3. Make decisions with your heart.
1⃣️ Love isn't forced.
View of marriage
Our view of marriage is an important part of our outlook on life. It says that marriage should be based on love and that both people should want to be married.
Marriage is about taking responsibility for your relationship.
The three elements of love: passion, intimacy, and commitment.
Love is made up of passion, intimacy, and commitment.
If you don't feel intimacy after getting back together, passion will fade.
Love can only be forced when the heart knows God.
Trust your feelings.
If you don't feel loved, it's possible he's moved on.
This isn't a judgment based on your demands. You've simply heard what he said.
Trust your feelings.
3⃣️, Let go of the relationship.
Accept reality.
Getting back in touch via WeChat doesn't mean the rift can be fixed with an apology or admission of fault. Repairing the relationship takes time and mutual willingness.
If you have a bad feeling, accept it.
Let go of the relationship.
Letting go of the relationship may be painful, but it's not a bad option. It will help you understand the consequences of past mistakes and face the future.
4. Learn from this.
You'll gain the most by learning to manage your relationships in the future.
Learn to communicate well.
Effective communication
Communication is sharing information with someone in the hope that they will respond as expected. If they do, it's effective communication.
Communication includes both verbal and non-verbal messages. The non-verbal part is often more important than the verbal part. Effective communication is important when dealing with people in school.
Steps to effective communication
Effective communication has four steps.
Step 1: Express feelings, not emotions.
Step 2: Express what you want, not what you don't want.
Step 3: Express your needs, not your complaints.
Step 4: Express where you want to go, not where you don't. Look at the end result.
Use these four steps to communicate your feelings, thoughts, and needs when you disagree with your boyfriend. This can help you avoid arguing and build a good relationship.
Expressions of love
Expressions of love
Couples need to save up love. This means investing, saving, and expressing love.
Everyone understands love differently. Dr. Gary Chapman says there are five ways people express and receive love: "affirming words," "spending time together," "exchanging gifts," "acts of service," and "physical touch."

Comments
I understand that you're feeling hurt and confused after everything that happened. It's tough when trust is shaken, even if he admitted his mistake. Maybe it's time to focus on healing yourself before deciding what to do next.
It sounds like this experience has really changed how you feel about him and the relationship. It's important to listen to your feelings. Perhaps talking openly about your concerns could help both of you move forward or realize it's time for a change.
Feeling distant and losing interest in intimacy can be a sign that you need some space to process everything. It's okay to prioritize your wellbeing. Consider setting boundaries that make you feel safe and respected.
You mentioned still loving him, but also protecting yourself. It seems like you're in a difficult place emotionally. Maybe counseling could provide a neutral space to explore these feelings and figure out what you truly want from this relationship.
Losing interest in sex while still having love for him indicates there might be underlying issues that need addressing. Communication is key here. Try to express your feelings honestly and see if he's willing to work through this together.
