why does my boyfriend ignore me?
The story
i don’t even know where to start honestly, everything just feels so confusing lately. me and my boyfriend been together for like 2 years now and it’s not like we been perfect, every couple fights sometimes right? but still, we always managed to work it out, always found our way back to eachother. until now. it’s like a switch flipped. he used to text me good morning every day without fail, he used to call me just to hear my voice, he used to actually listen when i talked about my day. and now... nothing. it started with little things, like takin longer to reply, cancellin plans last minute, saying he’s "busy" but not really explaining why. and i tried to be chill about it at first cuz i know people got stuff goin on, i didnt wanna be that clingy girlfriend always askin for attention. but it kept happening, and now it’s like i’m talking to a wall. sometimes i send him a message and he don’t even open it until hours later, sometimes not even til the next day. when i call, half the time he dont answer. when i do see him, he’s distracted, always on his phone or just... somewhere else in his head. i asked him straight up what’s goin on and he just says "i’m fine" or "i’m tired" like that explains everything. but it doesn’t. i’m not stupid, i can feel the distance between us growing and it’s killing me inside not knowing why.
it’s messin with my head real bad too, like i’m overthinking everything now. did i do something wrong? am i not enough anymore? is there someone else? i replay convos in my head, reread texts lookin for clues, but there’s nothing clear. just this awful silence. and the worst part is that i still love him so much. i still wanna fight for us but it’s hard when it feels like i’m the only one even tryin. i miss him so bad it hurts, i miss laughin together, the way he used to look at me like i was his whole world. now sometimes when he looks at me it’s like he’s lookin through me. nd i hate that i’m turning into this sad, desperate version of myself, always waitin for him to text, hopin he’ll finally act like he cares again. my friends tell me i deserve better, that i should just walk away, but it’s not that easy. he’s part of my life, part of my plans, part of my heart. and the idea of losing him, after everything we been through, feels like i’m losing a piece of myself too. but how long can i keep hangin on to someone who’s not even reaching back for me? how many more nights am i supposed to cry myself to sleep wonderin why my boyfriend ignores me like i don’t even matter anymore? i just want answers, i just want to know if we still have a chance or if i’m just clingin to memories of someone who’s already gone. i dont kno what to do, all i know is that this hurts more than i ever thought it would.

it’s tough when someone you love seems to drift away without any clear reason. It’s like you’re left hangin', waiting for a kind of closure or clarity that just isn’t coming. I remember going through something similar, and I felt like every day was just a waiting game. It's really emotionally draining when you're putting in all the effort and not getting the same energy back 😔. Trust your gut, and don't ignore your feelings. Sometimes the silence says more than words ever could, and it might be time to have a serious heart-to-heart with him. Relationships should be a two-way street, you know?
it's distressing when someone you care about starts to behave differently. one time, i was in a similar situation, and it felt like my whole world was turned upside down. sometimes people go through personal struggles that make them distant, but that doesn't make it any easier. it seems like you really care about him, and your willingness to fight for the relationship is admirable 😊. communication is key, though, and maybe having an open and honest conversation might help clear the air. keep holding onto hope, because love often finds a way to overcome challenges. you're definitely not alone in feeling this way, and things can improve with time and effort.
i hear what you're saying, but sometimes we overthink things, right? everyone goes through phases where they need a bit of space. it doesn’t always mean something negative. my friend once told me, "absence makes the heart grow fonder," and maybe that’s what's going on here. try giving him a little room to breathe; it might just help things get back to normal. remember, relationships have their ups and downs, but often, they come out stronger on the other side. hope things turn around for you both. 💪
i totally feel you on this!!! when someone starts pulling back like that, it's like being left in a state of emotional limbo, right??? once, i dealt with something similar where the other person just retreated into their shell, and it drove me nuts!!! you got every right to be upset... communication is crucial, you know??? if he won't open up, that’s a huge red flag!!! i’m not saying throw in the towel, but maybe a heart-to-heart is needed to get back to equilibrium!!! you deserve clarity, and sometimes you just gotta lay it out there to get answers, yeah???! keep your chin up, better days are ahead, seriously!!!
