Thank you everyone this gives me more hope. A few more things about my boyfriend he is a very good man, loving kind and gentle but since late June he`s been distant and that distance continues today hes still all these good things just less contact thats all. I told him how I felt and he said he thought everything was good with us now. He`s started a new semester at school and has been given new responsabilities at work. And I havnt heard from him in 7 days. His voice mail is full of messages I left 4 him he didnt reply to his email I sent. Im so scared. I know he loves me very deeply and i feel the same about him. But its been almost 3 and a half months since the decreased communication started. we`ve always been so close for the whole 7 years we have been 2gether. he`s told me every minutia of his day since day one (his idea :-)and always wanted to know the minutia of my day as well. so this time wthout him is so hard. Ive become so depressed and cry most days these last months. This relationship is so hard 4 me. but my love 4 him is so strong. Im in college too and have so much goals. I am going into a creative field after I graduate and I just want 2 be with my bf and live my dreams too. but he wants me to scale back my goals to stay home with even though he is high functioning. please help, what can i do to make this work 4 me and him?or do i want too much?
