Girlfriend pulls away every time she is under stress?

[Anonymous]

Every time my girlfriend is feeling stressful she'd pull away from me. Like acting distant and cold towards me. Recently she has been less affectionate with me be it verbally or physically. I don't know what to do. She is busy with school work and stuff so I guess she must have been stressed out or something.

Should I leave her alone and don't bother her until she becomes normal again?

Don't push. But be like a background tab with her. Let her know that you are there anyhow, don't just disappear on her because she's in a stress mood. It's saddening when you are in a mood and when you overcome it, there's no one there to catch you. As her boyfriend, just mild inputs and the slightest of gestures. hold her, stroke her her, sit with her, be not too far away, tell her something deep and lovely. Its not her decision to be that way, trust me

Thanks a lot for your advice! It's really helpful. I think I know what to do now.
Have a nice day :)

That's normal. It's fine. Give her space when she's under stress and she'll come back when she's ready.
