Question Posted Thursday January 15 2009, 12:51 pm
So my boyfriend of six months and I got into a bit of an arguement yesterday. Basically, things have been weird for a month (don't talk as much, he doesn't seem as interested), and I've been really blah for the past few days. I flat out asked him if he was still as interested, and he said "Idk. Not really." (This was all over text because we couldn't hang out or anything).
After having to baby the information out of him, he basically said he's felt that way for a month, because I always seem pessimistic, and he's just not as interested. Plus I get annoyed whenever he mentions games. (Hah, which I can admit, I did, because he played them so much we didn't even talk much). I kept asking him what it meant for us now, and what I can do to fix it, and all he did was say stuff like "idk". So obviously, I was very upset. I kept telling him about how I didn't wnat to lose him and stuff, and then this morning, I didn't even talk to him. (In my defense, I had to study for mid-terms, but I also didn't relaly want to talk and make him more angry).
So, today after I finished my second midterm and was getting ready to go to my bus, he was standing outside of my class with my other friend. So they were joking around about stuff as we were all walking, so I started joking too, and then once we got outside, he grabbed my hand. Once we got to the bus, he kissed me, said he loved me, and said "Sorry for last night".
Obviously, I'm hesitant, but I'm happy. I know, it's stupid, and I should try to fix the problem, but at this point I just want to pretend everything's okay. So, yesterday he kind of made a good point in saying that we text too much, so when we're together it's not as special. First, would ya'll agree with this? Also, what are some things I can do in person (Primairily at school) to help us both have some fun?

I agree with the fact that technology,(texting, emails, im) can cause a serious relationship problem. Texting is an easy way to keep in touch. But it's not as personal. I think you guys should lighten up on it so like he said you'll both be more inclined to spend time together.
I don't know about school primarily because your teachers are around but after you could go on a picnic, find a band or movie that's playing in the local park. Find a carnaval, or just spend time around him watching movies or(I no you said you don't like this ) but watching him play video games or him doing something that you like. You could also take a class together, like pottery. Bake recipes, or have a football game with a group of friends at your school after hours. You could make it a couples games or guys against girls.
Even if you don't like watching him play games, and he doesn't like something that want to do. Do it anyways. It's not necessarily about always doing things you want but trying to gain a togetherness that technology can sometimes cut into. [ QueenofDiamonds's advice column | Ask QueenofDiamonds A Question ]
