Is it time to let go of my girlfriend who is pulling away?

[Anonymous]

My girlfriend has been pulling away, acting cold and distant for the past ten days, and it's really bothering me. I tried talking to her once about it, but she shrugged it off.
Is it time to let her go, or is it too soon? I don't want to lose her, but it seems like I'm losing her slowly anyway.
I'm 100% sure but I think there's someone in the picture.

Dude that's a tough situation. A few weeks of the cold shoulder would definitely bother me too. Here's what I would do:

First, I'd try talking to her again, but don't come at it as an attack or accusation. Keep it calm and express how you've noticed she seems off lately and you're worried/want to understand what's going on. Ask if there's anything she wants to talk about.

Pay attention to her answers. Does she open up, or brush you off again? If she brushes you off, I'd consider giving her some space for a bit. Maybe something personal is bugging her she's not ready to share.

Also, keep an eye on her behavior when you do see her. Is she on her phone a lot? Acting weird/guilty? Spending less time with you? If you notice signs she may be interested in someone else, then it may be time to have a more serious talk.

I wouldn't fully let her go yet since it's only been a couple weeks. But if the distant act keeps up and she's not willing to communicate, then yeah you'll have your answer. No point clinging to something that's clearly fading.

Tough spot man, but stay calm and communicate your needs. That's all you can do for now to get clarity on what's up before making any big decisions. Hope it works out!

Was this a sudden change or were you both having problems beforehand? It all depends on her personality.. does she usually hide it when she’s having a problem and not want to talk about it? How do you know it’s you she’s pulling away from? If she doesn’t want to open up to you, then I’d say it isn’t fair to you and you should move on. You will see by her reaction when you break up with her whether you were the reason or not.

It's sudden. I can't think of any problems we're having, and no, she doesn't usually hide things from me. She once told me that she doesn't find things interesting anymore, not things about us, but about everything. However, whenever I see her updates on social media, she looks like she's having a great time with her friends. It's only when she's with me or talking to me that she becomes disengaged.
And like I said, I'm not 100% sure, but I think there might be another guy involved.

Some females refuse to talk about issues that bothers them to there partner, but will speak about it with friends and family, also females don’t usually behave like this until something was wrong but you refuse to fix it and she’s no longer interested in the relationship , plus there could be a lot of reasons why she’s like this, but if she refuse to open up , it’s best for you to move on, because she might have moved on mentally already, just waiting physically
