Just wanted to have genuine frienship..someone to share stuffs .
Someone who also is going via a tough phase..as a friend in need is a friend indeed .
We were such a good couple my boyfriend and I have been together for a 2 years and lately I feel emotionally disconnected from him. He still calls me daily and talks about our future, but he has stopped doing small affectionate things like good morning/good night texts, sending photos, or talking warmly like before.
He says he’s stressed because he lives alone, handles all chores himself, has laptop/work issues, and is preparing to move to Bangalore for a new job. He says when he focuses on work he can’t think about anything else.
I tried explaining that I miss emotional closeness, but he got angry and said I have too many expectations and that he’s not someone who thinks about relationships all day. During the argument he said we shouldn’t talk for 10 days, and breakup words came from both sides.
The confusing thing is that he still calls regularly, talks about the future, and doesn’t seem disloyal. But emotionally he feels distant and avoidant during conflicts, while I feel anxious and needy because he’s my main emotional support right now.
Has anyone dealt with this kind of dynamic before?
