Hi everyone, I’m here looking for advice from anyone who has been in a situation similar to mine.
I’ve been with my boyfriend for 9 months, and everything has been great. He’s my best friend, and I can’t imagine life without him. I’ve been in relationships before, but I’ve never felt as connected to someone as I do with him. However, the last few weeks have been tough for us, and I’m starting to wonder if we’ve outgrown each other. For example, we seem to be in a bad mood around each other when we meet, we can’t talk about anything without it turning into an argument, and we’re less physically affectionate. I don’t know what’s causing this, but I don’t want things to be this way. I try to ignore the feeling and act like everything’s normal, but I can’t help being short and angry with him, and I hate it. I’m asking for advice from anyone who’s been through something similar or understands this. I keep telling myself this is the best it will get, but there’s this lingering thought that maybe we need to separate because we’re making each other more miserable than happy right now. Do you think this is just a rough patch and we might just need some space? Or have we completely outgrown each other? I really need help. Thank you all!
TLDR: Been with my boyfriend 9 months, usually great but recently we’ve been arguing, distant, and less affectionate. Unsure if it’s a rough patch or if we’ve outgrown each other. Looking for advice.
