Is my boyfriend losing interest because he doesn't communicate with me?

[Anonymous]

I've been dating my boyfriend for 2 months. He isn't a fan of texting. Yet at first he would text me semi-frequently with cute texts like I love you, miss you, etc. Now he is getting worse at texting me. At times I'll get only 3 texts throughout the day. I've asked him several times to communicate with me better but nothing changes. I understand he is busy at times so I don't expect a text every hour from him. Yet sometimes I will see him on Fb meanwhile I won't get a reply from him and this bothers me. Is this a sign he is losing interest in me?

You're wasting your time with the texting - you simply cannot forge a relationship by texting. There is no emotion, zero body language, so you miss out on at least half of what's being communicated. Which leads to misunderstanding and confusion, and then silly questions like this.
If you want to know what's going on with him GET WITH HIM and have a real one-on-one conversation. Spend quality time together. Forget this texting bullshit. FB is a complete fail as well. Ignore all that crap.

You've asked him to communicate with you better? OMFG, this will NEVER turn out like you think or hope it will.

I went through something similar to this with my last relationship. If communication continues to decrease, leave him. It's not worth trying to save a relationship without communication or one where you feel like you aren't valued.

Sometimes it might be that someone texted your boyfriend on Facebook, causing him to become "active" on Facebook, unless you saw that he posted something.

However, texting less isn't a good sign. He might think that he got you now and is texting you less. I suggest that when you're with him next time, see if he's on his phone or getting texts and/or calls which he's religiously responding to.

How did you tell him about communication, and what did he say?

Sounds like you've been married a few years already and this is a new relationship? I don't think it's a good sign. What's he going to be like to talk to in another year? Probably not better. This sounds like my husband. He now ignores me pretty much always. It's been 15 years tho.

I would understand being really busy and not being able to communicate with you, but if he's active on Facebook and not responding to your texts... That's for sure a red flag. Try and make plans to go out so you can have a 1 on 1 serious talk with him. What he's doing is terrible tbh.

I think it's because he sees you as an immature woman. Communication in a relationship should in person thats what builds a stronger bond between two people also I don't think you are putting any work to build this relationship so why bother cuz relationship is a teamwork and you can't expect things given to you.

You make that effort the respect you will earn from him is so much better feeling that you could live without texting him for a week.

I am texting my girlfriend less as we are longer in relationship
I just feel like I dont have to tell her that I love her every hour

If he isn’t seeing you often AND he is texting you less frequently / less passionately than before, chances are he’s losing interest. I would definitely asking him, ‘Are we okay?’ and see where it goes.

Do you talk on the phone/see each other frequently?

[Asker]

We don't really talk on the phone and only see eachother 2-3 times a week

What's the goal of the relationship?

[HuckleberryHound723]

It could be that, or he is becoming complacent. Either way, it's not a good sign.

I dont feel so, just don't ask again and again him to text you. Try to communicate more face to face if you both are in same city.

[Bianca914]

Yes. Ask him why. Maybe he's sick of texting

[outside_Toronto]

Yeah, that's not a good sign for sure.

[Ariarose121]

ask him

[laughinglad999]

leave him
