Ever since my boyfriend started going to university he's changed a lot. He doesn't pay as much attention to me, he talks to a lot of girls now, he's never romantic or sweet and I just want to save the relationship. But I've been so unhappy lately, and I'm not sure how to do it. I've tried talking to him about it and he uses excuses like "he's too busy" or he doesn't focus on texting. I think its just an excuse because if he still cared about me like he used to, it wouldn't be something he'd have to think about when talking to me. Please help me save my relationship!

I'm sorry this is happening. But this frequently does happen when one goes to college. They start meeting new people, and experiencing new things. Long-distance relationships start taking a beating and not much time is spent on them anymore.

I know you want to save it, but it might be better if you just started having some fun of your own. Don't tie yourself down -- obviously he seems to be having a good time, so don't sit and wait while he's enjoying himself. Get out among friends and enjoy yourself! If it's meant to be, it will be.

Best of luck & God bless. Hugs, Lee

You're not the only one. I hope you will have more luck than i did.

Try to ignore him a little and see how he reacts, if he won't pay attention later on then he's not worth it.

Thanks everyone, I'm going to keep trying with it. But it really just makes me a miserable person. Wish I knew a way it could work!

Going to university is supposed to change people, or I should say help them realize their potential. Maybe you don't want to hear this, but it needs to be said. If your boyfriend is too busy or too distracted or making you unhappy on a consistent basis, you'll want to entertain the thought of getting a new boyfriend.
