Long paragraph incoming… Thoughts about my boyfriend seeming to be more distant/disconnected lately? So we had some space for a few days because I was at his house for about a week straight last week and today we hung out. His attention was elsewhere. Less on us more on the video game/phone. It took for me to say something for him to come and spend some 1-on-1 time with me, and it felt forced… Is it me? I’m on my period right now and a little emotional maybe even a little needy. I’ve also expressed in the past about him seeming more interested in other things instead of us and we’ve butted heads about it so I’m taking it personally mainly because it’s the fact that we haven’t seen each other in about 3-4 days and I just wanted some I miss you energy and honestly I’m just tired of nagging about it. I’ve already kindly expressed that I would like for him to be more present and in the moment quite a few times, sometimes resulting in tension coming into the conversation so honestly I’m just like I don’t know at this point. I don’t wanna make it seem like it’s just about me-me-me either, I understand that couples can co-exist without having to interact constantly and I’m totally ok with that but this is a constant issue that comes up, it makes me feel like I’m not interesting enough because he’ll give the I missed you energy off for a minute and then go right back to the distractions. (Yes, I have expressed myself to him, I’m just looking for female perspective or a how would you feel if this was you type of situation) Any thoughts? Give advice as if we are friends please lol, in other words brutal honesty. Am I wrong or what?

No you're not wrong for wanting him to be more present, and it's good that you've expressed yourself. However, since this has happened multiple times I don't really see him changing. Is it possible that you have some sensitivity over the idea that you "miss" or "need" him more than he misses you which makes this hurtful? Also is it possible that he desires more space than you do, so he's not really ready to devote his attention to you again? If I was with my partner and they were mostly distracted and not interested in spending time with me, I'd probably be like okay we can hang out another time. Like he doesn't need to be there if he doesn't want to hang out. Overall I'd see if you can dig into the underlying reasons why he acts this way a bit more. Possibly there's a difference in each of your needs regarding time spent together.
