Girlfriend has been distant
My girlfriend and I are long distant so we rely on communication everyday to know what's going on with each other and to overall be with each other. Recently she's been distant and when I asked her if she was okay she said that she was just tired. I then asked if I should give her space and she said to do whatever I want. I want to message her but I also don't want to overstep my boundaries. I'm also unsure if not messaging her until she messages first brings up the assumption that I don't care about her. What do I do?
Hi, what you describe is a very confusing situation. As you said, communication in a relationship is key, especially when it comes to distance, and it's understandable that you don't know what to do since she isn't clear with you. I think you would do well to remove the doubt by asking her what she needs right now. You are in a relationship and she should be as clear to you as you are to her. If you want to know, ask her and try to get a more complete answer. Good luck
