We have been together for 8 months which for me is a long time as im not one for relationships. i feel like I'm pushing him away and not talking to him as much which isnt good. Am i starting to lose feelings for him because im doubting myself? I feel if we don't talk as much then the time will go by quicker. but i think im just making things worse and i dont know how to stop it. why do i feel like this? i know for a fact i still love him, more than ever. and i can see us having a future together. It just feels like im forgeting what its like to hold him. i dont understand how some people can go without seeing their other halves for like six months. i have so much respect for those peopel. just why do i feel the need to totally shut down until he comes home. please help Reply to this Question Share |

I think you are trying to stop yourself from missing him because you don't want to feel sad and lonely. Therefore you are pushing him away to keep him at arms length. But if you do this he is going to think you don't care for him and he is going to be even more confused. Therefore just try and keep contact with him. It is OK to feel sad and miss him, it is normal. Just think it will only be another three weeks and you will have him back.
