I feel helpless, frustrated and clingy. I am in a long distance relationship and I think my boyfriend may be subconciously pulling away from me.. We’ve been together for 2 years but it seems like for a while now he wants more and more breaks away from me? I try not to be clingy but my own day to day life is often lonely and/or aggrivating. We just spent the past 3 days calling and playing games here and there, it didn’t feel like a lot but yesterday I could tell he was getting worn out and as a result was kinda flat toned and short with me, the other two days he was flirty, talkative and over all was enjoying his time with me. But today he says he needs a break which im ok with but what bothers me is that he doesn’t seem to want my company all that often and I’m usually the one to start any conversations as of late.
He also says he needs breaks with everyone but it just donesn’t feel all that great to want to be around someone who frequently says they need a break or space.
I trust him, I don’t believe he’s being unfaithful or anything like that but I just don’t know what to do, I want his company and interaction but it feels like he wants less and less from me and I don’t know how to go about it.
Please be nice here, i’m having a hard time and don’t have the capacity for harsh or rough comments right now.

I understand what youre going through, Ive been there myself. My best advice is to branch out socially even if its just on your phone to meet new friends. Not love interests, just friends. Itll help fill your time, and if things continue to head south, itll be a support blanket for you too. If you havent told him how you feel, you should begin thinking on how youd tell him and what you’ll say. Not addressing it wont make it stop it might just make it worse
