What is up with my guy?

Question

My bf tells me he loves me and spends time with me, but lately he's been different. He doesn't show any affection and he's needing more space than usual. I wouldn't mind giving him the space if things seemed normal, but under the circumstances, I don't feel that way. I know he's not cheating on me and I feel that he truly loves me, but I also feel that maybe he's drifting apart from me. The thing I'm worried about is that I will bug him about it. I know that will push him away, but I want him to know how I feel. What should I do? Give him the space and keep my mouth shut? Or communicate with him? We've been together for only about 9 months and I really truly love him more than anything.

Answer 1

COMMUNICATION is the key to understanding.  You have to be willing to TALK things through in order to get anything straightened out.  If you are too scared to open up about your feelings, WHAT makes you think he will do anything any different for you?  He might be just as apprehensive as you are - that is no way to have a relationship - one of you has to do the right thing no matter what ends up happening after that.
