My boyfriend of 3 months has suddenly become distant. I am acutely aware of my anxious attachment style so I am very intentional about recognizing my desire to respond to situations based on this and doing the exact opposite. It may even be that it is entirely in my head 🤷🏼‍♀️
My gut feeling is that there are a lot of external stressors (kids, exes, work) and his distancing is related to one of those. But, I’m just trying to sit here with my anxiety and avoid making any fatal moves. We have a really close relationship. We see each other at least twice a week. Our last date was fun, we were both dealing with our own shit, but we enjoyed each other and connected and it felt the same as it always does.
The difference is I haven’t heard much from him over the last couple of days. I get at least one or two messages a day, but they feel like they are to say “hi, I’m still here and thinking of you, but I don’t have time to chat.” That’s ok and I completely get him, but I think I have too much time to think and it has me on edge a little.
I am worried he is getting bored or something or he is getting overwhelmed with the pace at which we seem to be moving. Idk…thoughts?
