A female reader, anonymous, writes (22 February 2007):

I agree with the other poster here. If what your bf means by saying he feels more relaxed about your relationship, as opposed to worried or anxious, then that's a good thing! It would indeed mean he has reached a certain comfort level with you.

However, you could ask him next time you talk what he means by relaxed! Make sure you approach it in an "I'm curious" manner, NOT as feeling insecure or anxious or paranoid!

But if you think you might have such negative feelings then you should maybe wait until you have a little more confidence - unless you can manage to SOUND calm, curious and confident, that is!

I think what he means is not that hes grown apart from you or the relationship.I think he means he feels as though the relationship has moved in to the comfort zone where you dont have to keep proving yourself to eachother. Dont worry this is perfectly normal in any relationship. :0)
