There's a blurry line between attentiveness and pressure. Ive been waiting to meet a perfect guy my whole life and I finally found one who is my yang. After this I just began to worry. I thought about the same things as you did, wondering if he is just being nice. Why do some men punish only their women and not everyone else? If they seems to be staying in touch to keep you as a backup, then it's likely that they are lacking in some self esteem when it comes to dating other people.

I properly make a mistake by chasing him for answer but I cant wait anymore! Hi, Eric But he says i am the exception and that just because we were friends for only 2 months doesnt mean that we cant be lovers for a lifetime. We talked after the date and he wanted to see me the next day. I believe that a lot of the men the women have here been speaking about suffer from depression and not a simple case of feeling blue or feeling a bit sad. I had forgotten about his mothers procedure so in my text I asked how he has been & did his power come back on. Im concerned for him, how is he doing, handling this.

He hasnt responded to a single message Ive sent, but hes still communicating with others. Should I just leave him be and when he does reach out pretend like nothings wrong?

(I guess!). Share with others. (May 2016) In the midst of helping cousins and aunts, he was also dealing with his moms health issues. But I asked how I should feel if hes stressing out on something I keep on telling him hell achieve. He likes to solve his own problems and feel on top of his game, so if Im offering input Im careful to make very broad suggestions to help him come to his own conclusions, leaving him with a sense of ownership over the solution. After all of this has taken place, I find that hed become very distant (rightfully so) so I tried not to bother him too much. Hes done this before but never for this long. I texted back and said I am just concerned about you. He is my best friend and someone that I share my bad days and good days with. Never got a reply until the next day, mid day. He even bought me a pillow for his house and we were making insignificant plans for when it gets warmer outside. He knows what he is doing is wrong . sorry for the novel ;) seems like you get that a lot^. I know that him not working is stressing him out and makes him feel useless. So Im not sure what to do: let it lie or try to apologise for putting unneccessary pressure on him? What she has is a one sided love for him.

Weve had some struggles because his parents got divorced two years ago, and he is still struggling a lot with that. she didnt eat for 3 days and bacame dizzy and felt like vomoting all the time. When i respond he will stay wait days to write back. Much better to put your thoughts on the table clearly and succinctly IF thats your nature and IF you have the ability to speak so clearly. then recently he also told me the reason he would not let me see his ipod was because he has him and his best friend as a background chilling and I would have freaked if I saw it, but he still remains to not let me see his ipod. Recently hes really stressed and has been pretty vague about his issues although, I know theyare complicated and hasnt made any attempt to get together or say hello for the past 6 weeks. While it can be super difficult to take a step back and look at your own behavior, in the long run, it will make your relationship all the stronger. I am kind of in the same situation or maybe worse.

Lets fast forward 2 months (March 2016), his favorite cousin is killed in a hit and run accident. . I think you have a good grasp and perspective on the situation, so Im not going to comment directly on it. I'm feeling overwhelmed by my boyfriend.

MORE: What to Do When He Says He Needs Space, Instead, the best thing that you can do is admire and appreciate all of the good parts of him.

Its one thing to ask for space while he deals with a stressful situation, but he should TRUST you to give him that space. Any thoughts or advice would be much appreciated, Hey Luna, what did you end up doing? . But the fact is, you did everything you did because at the time you thought it was the best option or maybe the only option. It is really hard not to take something like this personally, especially when Ive asked him to be better about communication. He said shes his one source of comfort and shes gone causing him to be more stressed. I really need help so my year and i half bf has changed hes not caring anymore he always find a way to fight he even called me a liar i got sick but its like nothing did happen to me he changed completly hes been ignoring me for almost 2 month now and when i told he that hes being mean and bit of an as even though i didnt give up on him that i was eight and he said that he needed time that we need time im lost i dont know what to do i even want to break up with him even if i still love him help me anyone pls.

Im at work and miserable, in long cases. I mean he is about to lose his house, business is underwater. He has been ill with the flu which could explain things but it seems like he cant be bothered to initiate contact with me. Time will tell what happens, but its more important to be there for him and let him open up and trust you when he feels he is ready. He made it home safely and texted me. 3 weeks ago I told him I understand and I wont pressure him cause he needs to do what he needs to do but just dont be stranger and say hello.. well he hasnt and its driving me crazy. I wish I saw this a few weeks ago! A lot of his off time is on the xbox. For example, her parents hate her being around my boyfriend because they find him as a bad influence and one night they were at a play together (which he also did not tell me that he was going to be with her there) and apparently her parents barged in, took her phone and took her away after seeing her with my boyfriend. I know he does it on purpose because I always tell him I pray for him. You are so close to the finish line. What if he tells me hes just been busy at work? What do I do?? Im scared that she might try to win him back and that he might give in to her especially if im not there with him. When I did say something to him about something about me he changes that subject or just says that he will talk to me later and I never bring it back up. Its not that I cant (or dont) communicate. If he cant control himself and gives in to her that will be the end of us. So this is what I am dealing with & I will probably be spending more weekends out of town with my folks. I thought it was really considerate of him to call and tell me that. It hurts so bad. They dated for 7 months and that was 2 years ago. However, before throwing in the towel, you and your partner may find it helpful to try couples therapy, where you two can learn more about each others' needs, personalities, and conflict styles. We went on 7 dates over 8 weeks, and he was always romantic and generous on these dates ie. Why do guys say they want things for the future and then freak out if the girl reciprocates? they talked and soon they attented the same college. He then came into work and talked to the girl who had given him my number before and told her how he felt like an idiot and really wanted to ask me out. That in turn made me clingy which made things even worse. In other words, if you have some concerns you just can't shake about your partner, especially when it comes to arguing, it may be time to rethink the relationship. But he had not shut me out. (Still light hearted) I said, Oh I dunno, I have to save up some money first. He responded, Well I didnt think you were thinking anytime soon and I responded, no like I say it will take a while to save some money.. You really do not need to worry about getting every last detail right in crafting the perfect, poignant text message to send. Don't text that man! It was a terrible break up back then and I saw him after all those years, hes divorced now for over a year, and he apologized for how awful he was and could we get together for dinner. Although it is difficult some times to give him his space, I do. He doesnt want your help he wants to feel you understand him. His daughter wants nothing to do with him
