hi, so my boyfriend and I have been together for about two months and we’re out of the honey moon phase. He’s had a reputation for not being the most faithful which is why before we dated I told him I’m fine with keeping things casual and dating, however he wanted to commit. Due to the amount of mutual friends we have he is risking a lot by dating me which makes me want to believe he will stay faithful. However this past week he’s been acting strange doesn’t really call me babe or the pet names couples have as often and uses my name more he hasn’t really FaceTimed me however I notice he’s active on insta a lot. I know he’s busy but I wish he would talk to me. I feel like he’s getting bored of me and it kinda sucks. He isn’t like he used to be. And he does have field next week so I’m assuming it’s prep for that but I just don’t want to have to talk to him like twice a week. Also he remembered my birthday just fine last month and I asked him last night he got the month right but totally fucked up the date idk if I’m overthinking or what
I'm sorry to hear that this is happening. I don't think you're overthinking. I think that couples who leave the honey moon phase can still be lovey, affectionate, call each other pet names, still be romantically active with one another, etc. I think it could be best to talk to him about it head-on. I think that people can become extremely defensive if you question them on their faithfulness, so if you go the route of talking to him about that, I'd suggest proceeding with caution (but don't walk on eggshells). In my experience, especially with distance, communication is key. If you feel like you two are out of step with one another, it can be really beneficial to bring it up. Maybe he's feeling the same way. I hope this helps and I wish you the best of luck!
