I don’t know what to do
So my girlfriend and I have been together for two years now, and for a long time things were going really well. During our first year together, our relationship felt romantic, affectionate, and full of love. We spent quality time together, watched movies and series, cuddled, and genuinely enjoyed each other’s company.
Lately though, I’ve started feeling more alone than ever in the relationship. It feels like I’m always the one trying to connect with her. I’m the one who has to ask if we can cuddle or spend time together without phones, and it feels like she never really seeks out my affection anymore.
She’s also been spending a lot of time out with her friends, which I understand, but I’ve asked if we could spend more daytime together because I usually fall asleep before she gets home. Most of the time, though, she’s either too tired from going out or already has plans with friends again.
When we are together, she spends most of the time on her phone, and whenever I ask if we can do something together, I often get the same response — that she’s tired or needs space. I completely respect needing space, but after a while it’s started to make me feel unwanted and emotionally distant from her.
I love her so incredibly much and I don’t want to lose her, but I’ve been feeling so bad lately
