I don't know what to do

I've been in a relationship now for over more than an year and I know my boyfriend loves me.
He has recently started a new business and all his time goes into that. So much so that we hardly talk nowadays. Just a good morning and a good night. We don't even meet anymore and it used to be at least 2-3 I message a week earlier.
I know I'm supposed to be supportive of him and I'm really happy for him but I don't know how to deal with these feelings. If I talk to him about it, he says I'm not being understanding and gets angry and we fight. That's something I really want to avoid.
Please help me.

Is there anything you could do to help him with the business? or would you want to?

Perhaps getting involved could bring you both closer... A new business would take a lot of commitment

If you KNOW that this is the reason why you aren't talking as much I would try and find a way to fill your time in some way so that this isn't hurting you ...Big hug...xo

Starting a business is very time consuming and stressful.

I agree with Suncloud, is there a way you can help out?

Maybe everything is okay and at this point in his life, he's living his dream. It's not always the quantity of time together, but the quality. Sounds like he already shared how he sees himself, I wouldn't push too hard, unless you are prepared for a more direct answer. Some people simply want to accomplish other goals first. Good luck and much success.

I've tried to help in any way I can. He just says he needs time right now to figure things out.
I guess I'm just overwhelmed by this sudden change in things and this would take some getting used to.
Thank you so much for your support guys.

Sounds like he is taking steps to ensure a future for both of you. He is a good man. Just stick by him and he will appreciate it.
Are you working or going to school?

I'm in college. Doing my under grad. He's 4 years elder to me.
I know he's trying. But this not talking to him is driving me crazy. I guess I'm just used to us talking a lot
