So I dont know if its just me and in my head but I feel like my boyfriend has changed. He recently started work again and is working long days and has a lot going on so I understand he is very busy but lately I feel like he’s changed, maybe got too comfortable and I always feel like I need reassurance. I dont know if this is a personal problem or how to go about it but ive just been lacking something and I dont know what it is.. everytime I think about it I get emotional... I know hes busy and with his job he cant use his phone .. I also dont know if its cause we are seeing eachother less... but as anyone experienced something like this? He still says he loves me, sends me goodmorning texts etc but I just dont know what it is thats making me feel something different

Sounds like he’s just busier than he was and maybe you’re no longer in the honeymoon phase. That’s normal in relationships.

I just got this fortune cookie... so weird😭

I went through/am going through something similar. Bf went back to work and our text relationship is just not the same as the in person one. It takes him forever to reply when I text him and even though I know he can’t check his phone often at work it still makes me feel bad. I’m doing a few things to help this: 1) I realized I’m anxiously attached and told him about attachment styles. 2) I started meditating specifically focusing on having a different relationship with anxiety. 3) I went hone to visit my friends and family I haven’t seen since March (socially distanced) 4) started a movement routine

It sounds like you’re too attached to his time and attention. He’s busy. He won’t be able to text you at work. And when someone goes back to working, it is natural for them to become tired or withdrawn socially. I think this may be a good time to practice some self-reliance and independence. To me it sounds like you’re overreacting to the situation a bit. Also, I’m not sure what the fortune cookie has anything to do with your case. It’s just a generalised statement, it doesn’t justify much.

I also saw you posted about being an over-thinker in the past. It seems like that’s what’s going on right now.

@bIrb I agree. I just dont know how to work on that for myself
