Question Posted Wednesday February 10 2010, 7:29 pm
my boyfriend and i have been dating for a little over four months. i thought we were happy, but recently i found out he doesn't know what he wants anymore or whether he's even happy. in the beginning, we used to talk for hours on end. gradually things changed. he's never had a serious relationship before and i think that maybe he's afraid to be a part of one. when we're together, things are really good... but it seems like the closer we get, the farther he wants to push me away. i really care about him and his happiness. i suggested a break so he would have time to sort his thoughts and feelings. if you have questions, so you can get a better understanding, let me know. otherwise, what is your take on this? he's really sweet and he's a good guy.
EDIT: Do you think a break is what you both really need? Do you think it will solve the problems with your relationship or just make things worse? If he's not happy in the relationship, there's no point in being in it; you're only hurting yourself by keeping him. Sometimes people drift apart for reasons. Just because something ends, doesn't mean it IS the end. When one door closes, another opens, and that's very true. Maybe you should just move on and try your luck with different guys? You have all the time in the world to settle down - have fun first! [ MummuM's advice column | Ask MummuM A Question ]

There could be external problems going on aside from you guys that is causing the behavior. It stinks but if you don't come to a solution soon together it will make it worse :( The best thing I can tell you is to keep try talking, and make sure he knows how you feel about everything.
