Is my boyfriend faking happiness?

Question

Hey everyone -

Ive been with my boyfriend for a marvelous 8 months.

Lately ( this month ) we have been arguing a lot more than usual,all about stupid things. We have realized this, and these past three days we have been doing really well. However, I cant help but feel like hes really unhappy with me. He isnt as romantic as he used to be and I just feel as if he is getting tired/bored of me. I talked to him about this and he started acting all lovey and happy again and said that the reason he wasnt acting like this before was because the arguing was making him down. Things are finally back to normal and hes acting happy and lovey- but I feel like its fake. I talked about that with him and he told me over and over that it isnt. He said hes been happy this whole time and that he realized if he dosent want to lose me,its time to show it again. Things are looking up but I cant help but STILL feel sad. Please help =/ I dont know whats going on with me!

Answer 1

I think I can relate to you. I also been with my boyfriend for a little over seven months, and we have been more open to each other lately. Although his behavior has changed a bit. For example, he used to have little things for me, but I noticed that he has become more attached, close to me which is good. What I think is that there is that we are entering another stage of our relationship where we feel more comfortable and open to each other. Perhaps you are also going through the same stage. It has crossed my mind from time to time whether he still happy, but when I see the way he acts and talks to me I have no doubt.

If he tells you that he is happy then it must be true. The reason why he behaves more lovely and happy when you ask him this is because he doesn't want to lose you. Then when he gets more comfortable he goes back to his previous behavior. I think that's normal. Maybe what you should do is talk to him about how you feel and why. Good luck!

Answer 2

try talk to his other exes that been with him a know how he does things

Answer 3

Maybe he's telling the truth. Why do you think he's lying? If you've been going out for 8 months, he must like you a lot, and if he wasn't happy, why would he have made the effort to stay with you??

Answer 4

leave him and *** to buthead

Answer 5

it's probably just that some stuff is going on with him in his family or his personal life that he isnt comfortable telling you yet

Answer 6

If he shows this big happy faking smile you should know. There may be something hes hiding. BUt he seems serious to me. BUt watch your back. You'll never know what would happen.
