My insecurity led to a brief break-up, and now he's distant

Tagged as: Troubled relationships, Trust issues<< Previous question   Next question >>
Question - (10 August 2011) 2 Answers - (Newest, 11 August 2011)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

My boyfriend wants me to be secure in our relationship and not doubt his faithfulness or love for me.

I did this a lot, and it caused so much tension in our relationship. He ended up breaking up with me for about half an hour one night because he couldn't see it changing. I asked for one last chance, and at first he wasn't going to give in, but he broke down and took me back because he still wanted to work things out and hope for the best.

I promised him I wouldn't doubt his faithfulness or feelings for me, but ever since the breakup, he hasn't been very affectionate or emotional, and I know he's not cheating, but it makes it hard to feel like he loves me like he did before. He says he does, but I don't want to press him with questions like I did before. If he's being less affectionate and all, how do I still feel secure and like he just wants me and wants me for as long as possible like before?

We don't live together. That's the hard part. We don't see each other every day so I feel like the process is slower. I guess you're right about his walls still being up. Guess I just need to back off and work on myself and he'll eventually come around. Hopefully.

RedAthena agony auntHow long has in been since you moved back in?

Have you initiated affection with just simple hugs and kisses? Have you initiated any simple together time like a walk out to the park, a movie, etc

He is probably still has his walls up to see if YOU really have changed. Show him how you are happy he gave you a second chance.

Plan something special and honor him as your bf.
