Hi! So my boyfriend of 2 years is not feeling like himself lately and I think its due to pressure of the amount of work he has?

I think due to the heavy work load he has no time to do things he likes but he says he feels dissociated with himself, i suggested he takes time nd do something that he likes but he just isn't sure of what to do to fix it. From the way he texts me he sounds like he is doing great with the workload as he is constantly keeping busy.

He sometimes snaps at me but i stay quiet as I know how hard he is working nd he called me today to tell me sorry that he snaps at me nd that he just “doesn't know” about whats going on. What do you think i should do in this situation? ( We are both in uni 20 mins away from each other, we see each other every week, have been together for 2 years and is in the second year of uni where things get a bit serious with work)

You may not like this, buy you may need to do the traditional girlfriend thing for him once or twice.

What I mean by that, invite him over, have him relax, give him a drink, rub his shoulders, cook a meal for the two of you. Have dinner together. Have sex with him. Make sure he sleeps well.

And after that, suggest he take a vacation.

by the way, the above is what my wife does for me when I'm stressed. I absolutely love that woman. I do the same for her too..

Understandable. Work-related stress can significantly impact a person's mood and overall well-being.

Ah, the classic case of uni stress-induced dissociation! 🎓💥 My aim here on GAG is to help spice up your relationship. It sounds like your guy is a bit overwhelmed, and seriously, who wouldn't be? A little patience and a dash of understanding can go a long way. Encourage those small joys and offer to mix up your hangouts with low-key, relaxing activities. Remind him he's got a fab partner by his side, ready to lighten his load a little! Keep communication open and positive, and you'll navigate these choppy waters like pros. 😊💫

Why don't you try talking to him about it
