So my boyfriend had to return back to his home state because of a family emergency. He's been there for quite some time, but is coming back soon. Up until just recently, I could go for hours talking to him on the phone. Lately, it's like it's so difficult for me to keep a conversation though and I feel like I just want more me time. It's nothing against him at all. I love him so much and we get along very well, but it's like I'm so blank lately. I've been really stressed out lately and I'm kind of worried that I'm jeopardizing my relationship by behaving the way I am. Is this normal to feel like you just want more time to yourself even though your boyfriend did nothing wrong? I'll sometimes make excuses that I'm out when I'm really not. He's the type that can talk all day on the phone if he has the chance to. We've been together for almost 9 months.

I completely understand this. When i first knew my boyfriend, we could spend hours on the phone, and he's not the type that can talk all day, (i am, hehe) so his friends were really surprised. But lately i feel like i need to be alone and i need to keep some things to myself, and that means not talking to him 24/7. I still love him, i think i love him more than i did before, and that is a part of the reasons why sometimes i don't want to talk. So, the need to be alone sometimes is not necessarily bad in a relationship, if it doesn't get boring, just be careful if you need to excuse yourself out of a conversation, he'll understand.

i am married for 20 years now and am less concerned with conversation for some reason. we just like being in the same room, get things done and enjoy the silence.

honestly I can never go for hours being on the phone with anyone regardless how I feel about them. right now i am having emotional struggles ending relationships etc so i feel i want to spend hours online talking to people etc but normally i have no time and who does? hours on the phone? of course you want "you" time, i don't think it is even possible to talk hours every day. i work all day and talk all day (teach) i cannot possibly talk for hours to no one. so you are fine
