Dear Miss Emily:
Okay, well me and my boyfriend have
been dating for four to five months and I've been traveling a lot this
summer so I really haven't got to see him. But for the beginning of the
summer, we were doing just fine like texting and talking but the last
couple days, I feel like we have been drifting apart -- like yesterday he
didn't even talk to me so, today, I text him and we had short conversation.
I just don't know what to do. I mean, I miss him a bunch and we were
planning on meeting next weekend, but I have that feeling we aren't going
to be together. I love him too much and I don't know what I will do
without him:(
--------------------------Miss Emily's advice---------------------
Wait a minute. I think you might be
jumping the gun! It's you who has been traveling, not him, and perhaps
it's a feeling of guilt on your part that's dictating your insecurity regarding this situation.
Not texting for one day does not necessarily mean trouble, or an
impending break up. Act as if nothing's happened. Be your friendly self,
and plan the weekend. If he backs out, then worry. Come from a position
of strength, not weakness (neediness), and you'll have a better chance
of seeing this realistically. Again, I'm not saying that all is okay with
him but, from what you have told me, you're overreacting.
