I need another woman’s perspective on this! So me and my boyfriend have been together officially for around 3 months. Everything with us was natural. We spend most of our time together, I’m always at his. When we are together we do our own things, like he’ll play his game, or go out with his friends. Recently i’ve noticed his actions have changed towards me. I’ve spoken to him about this and he said that he wants more alone time. Am I overthinking or taking this the wrong was because yes we spend our days together but we both get up for work, come home and do our own stuff, as well it’s the little things he’s stopped doing, when he goes out he doesn’t kiss my goodbye. What would your thoughts be?

It's normal and healthy to need some alone time in a relationship. While it's tempting in that early dating phase to be together all the time, it's not really sustainable long-term. It doesn't mean he doesn't like you! I had to express exactly the same need to my partner in our first few months of dating (that I need some alone time) and luckily he didn't take offense and totally respected my wishes. Imo, it's very much a sign of a healthy attachment if partners can express their needs and spend time apart without taking it as a sign that the other person isn't interested anymore.

It is normal to want alone time but he also isn’t giving you basic affection/emotion which doesn’t seem normal, I would talk to him.

Agree with @aurielle, it’s not healthy to spend most your time with a partner & basically live at theirs especially after only 3 months together. It’s also normal for the initial excitement to fade if you let it lead the relationship at the beginning. You mention he plays his games & sees his friends, but what about you? Do you see your friends/family, do your own hobbies & have alone time too? Your partner shouldn’t be your whole life. I’m not sure I agree that he isn’t giving you basic affection from that one example, give yourselves some healthy space in the relationship and I think being affectionate towards each other will be more sustainable anyway.
