I met a man at work, we work for the same company but different locations. We clicked and over the last 6 months grown a lot closer, we talk all day every day and that's become the norm.
He was offered a career opportunity he couldn't refuse recently and left our company to pursue it. I was a little worried it would change what we have been building but he assured me (on more than one occasion) that things won't change.
When he left we were probably the closest we have ever been. I was still worried as past experiences I've had still make me think that things won't be the same now but I tried to trust him and stay positive.
It's been a little over a week now, and I know that this new career path is more work and responsibility so naturally he was quieter than usual. We have talked but it's not much at all, on one occasion we did have a more in depth conversation I had mentioned that things are different now and that I was feeling sad about that. He reassured me again, insistent that once he settles in things will go back to normal.
But they haven't yet, I'm not entirely sure if he is happy in his new role, but I'm also starting to question if he is pulling away from me? I'm struggling as we were so close only a few weeks ago, now it feels very distant. a lot of unanswered texts and at best they are few and far between.
Usually I'd feel comfortable enough to just be open about this with him, but now I'm just not sure what to do or say for the best, and unfortunately I do find situations like this very hard to handle, but at the same time I don't want to go off at the deep end incase he really is just trying to settle in.
I didn't envision this turning out this way as he seemed more open and honest than other guys I've dated. So deep down I believed him, but now I just feel as though all the effort is coming from my side and that when we do talk I am annoying him.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
