Thank you for your reply gloom

dear I hve tried talking to him about this in a calm manner..i asked himvwhat has been bothering him and that i am there for him to support but there isnt really anything wrong cause everything at his college seems to be okay.his friends are some of my very good friends so I speak with them too.
Anyway.. u know there isn't a fight goin on between us or anything..but our relationship seems to hv degraded from lovers to just friends because that is the way we now communicate and I have stopped asking him or even hinting at the subject of where is the love and affection gone.
May be he is bored of me now..after all these years..I don't know and like u and riotgirl said..once that phase is gone, everything changes. He still shows concern for me and says "love you" at the end of every phone call but to tell u the trutg that is literally beginning to sound like a ritual or formality rather than it comin from his heart..
I am losing hope and stopped expecting things altogether..
