is it something to be concerned about?

    me and my boyfriend have been going out for almost 13 months. we have had a really rocky relationships since the beginning but for the past month it has been great. we haven't fought or anything and we're all cuddly and stuff with each other.

    lately, whenever i txt him saying i love you or i miss you or just saying what are you doin, i usually don't get anything back and if i do, its like way later.

    or ill call him and sometimes he won't answer.

    a part of me feels like he's ignoring me because i feel like im being too close to him. like im smothering him too much.

    its kinda making me feel like at school, im there and he sees me and he shows me he cares and all but when i get home and txt him or call him, its like he doesn't wanna talk to me or something.

    nothing is going on between us so i know hes not mad but im just feeling kinda left out after i leave school and go home. i wanna talk to him about it but knowing him, it might start something and i really don't want that. i want us to stay as happy as we are.

    i don't know what to do. should i talk to him about it? or am i just foolishly overreacting and just let it go? im confused. i would really appreciate it if you can tell me what you think.

    It's strange, so yeah, ask him about it.

    If you feel uncomfortable with the situation then it's your complete right to address it with him - he shouldn't mind because if he does truly care for you he'll explain himself.

    It's possible he might be wanting some personal time, like a small phase.

    I hate to burst your bubble, but I'm going to be blunt. This may not be true..But, just watch for it.
    When my girlfriend started doing this, she had hidden something from me. But, she finally told me. Then, she started doing it again and I was only talking to her for an hour [and by the way, we're a long distance relationship, so that's why this may be unlikely for you, but I'm giving what I know] whereas we used to talk for hours and hours on end.
    I confronted her one day, when she seemed very upset. I was going to ask her if she'd be cheating on me....But, I didn't. I just comforted her. However, within a few minutes she spilled that she had been dating someone for the past three days and slept with them.
    We broke up.

    Now, I know you're not a long distance relationship, but you never know things that happened. It surprised me when she told me...
    Keep your eye open for hints of such.
    If not, I'd say simply talk to him..You know, I'd say that anyways. Talking is a huge part of a relationship.

    Take care.x

    I'm with somebody and since the beginning we had absolutely no communication and it was making us drift away. I'm the kind of person who doesn't say anything that's bothering me about somebody because I'm scared it will back fire on me and will start something 1,000 times worse. Eventually me not saying anything I blow up from all the problems with a lack of communication.

    Yesterday was the day that I blew up, and I was at this band thing and so was he. I totally ignored him and was planning on breaking up with him. He looked totally sad and upset that I was ignoring him after about an hour so I went up to him and hugged him and he asked me to step outside so we could talk.

    As shocked as I was, he told me that he was gonna be there for me no matter what because he doesn't quit easy and he loves me and he's gonna be there no matter what cause that's what boyfriends are for.

    I was totally shocked that he actually listened to me because in past relationships, not only a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship but family too, it never worked out and everything got worse when I told someone how I felt.

    You know what else he said? He said that he's not a mind-reader and he can't tell how I feel if I ignore him and be mad at him without telling him why.

    So tell your boyfriend exactly how you feel. I wouldn't recommend doing it at school though, do it out of school when you're alone. If he loves you and cares about you he won't say anything to hurt you and he won't break up with you for showing him your emotions. And hey, if he gets mad at you for talking then he's obviously not the right guy for you. 13 months is a long time, so I think you should have good communication by now.

    I hope it all works out for you.

    Oh, and I don't think that he might be hiding anything from you or is cheating or anything. I think that he just has absolutely no idea you feel this way because you don't show it.

    So talk to him.
