I’d say just work on being more vocal and direct about your needs, and if he can’t work on being more available to you, then it’s his loss.If you see yourself long term with this guy, talk about your feelings every time you feel you need to. You could try and bring it up in counselling as well? Stop pouting, whining, and acting juvenile.There are lots of things that could be happening that may or may not be on his end of the responsibility, but, just from what I've read, now might be a good time to kick back a little bit and empathize with him. He should be allowed to have his alone time with his friends but he should also spend quality time with you as well. I know you will want to defend yourself or disagree during the talk but swallow it for later. He needed $300 for his rent in April and he is already somewhat behind on his bills so, instead of letting him take out a loan to pay his rent i gave him the $300. You need to know if he wants to fight and fix what you have or if its time to split. If your gf is against meeting up due to you being in constant exposure to the public/corona, then respect her thoughts. Good communication is sending AND RECEIVING. You kind of have to elaborate on the state of what you're fighting about to even gauge if you're in a negative spiral, or it's just him wanting to sprawl out and sleep alone.So sleeping in one's own space can be very freeing.
You said it yourself. My boyfriends job offers OT to get more hours and extra pay but he never takes advantage of it.He stays up until 4am playing the game when he could be staying up until 4 at work getting more hours to pay his bills. Say that it seemed personal, like rejection, and you want him to be up front if there’s an issue, and sorry if that got lost in your reaction.On his end: it's not okay that he's calling you names (a baby, f'ed up, insecure, childish) and it's not okay that he made a unilateral decision about something in your relationship that's important to you.No he keeps saying it’s just that he likes the extra space to sleep in and it’s nothing more. Should I be alarmed? You seem to be seeking that intimacy again, but you don't know what you're looking for or how to communicate your needs and cooperate. The best time is at a wholly neutral time, like in the afternoon over a sandwich or something.The sleeping away isn’t so much my biggest concern as his discussion of your feelingsThere's a lot of built-up and calcified frustrations that will emerge judging from your descriptions.
If your partner is moving rooms, no explanation, saying he's unhappy then I think sadly it might be time to worry, he's distancing himself from your relationship more and more. It will feel manipulative and will be a turnoff. My SO (37m) and I (38f) have been in a rough patch in our marriage for about a year now—and he is starting to sleep in guest bedroom more frequently.
Before covid i was just gonna drive up every weekend or two and see her, but now i don’t know if that’s gonna work out.
I (24F) have been dating my boyfriend (25M) for a year and a half now and currently live with him in a bachelor apartment. The other day he said he was going to give me the rest of it back then he changed it and said “i can only give you $60 and i will give you the rest back next month”. He may be more likely to open up about what's going on if he's not constantly concerned that he's going to send you in an uninhabitable fit of emotions.Sleeping apart is pretty typical for couples. Read along and take note. Here are a few common issues when couples go through rough patches, and what they mean for the future of your relationship. (Rough patch.) You pout. My boyfriend (29m) and I (27f) have been together for almost two years (will be in October). My gf also struggles to sleep well when I'm in the bed so it works out.Communication from both of you seems to be like 2/10 right now.For me I struggle to sleep with another person in the bed. Moving on from rough patch in relationship, or is it doomed?
