Hey guy, my girlfriend and I have been doing well. However, I think she sees too much of me to be excited anymore. Like I really try to give her her personal space and let her do her thing. I’ve never stopped her from doing what she’s wanted to. She still talks about plans for us in the future…a house, kids, trips etc. however, last night she told me that it annoys her that I get mad when she doesn’t respond to me. Now, I did at first and yes it occasionally still bothers me, but I have tried really hard not to bring it up. My love language if you will is communication and always wanting to talk to her. She isn’t like that, and will not reply for hours at a time. She still gets on social media and stuff in between and it’s fine. I just sometimes wish I felt like a priority. I told her when she brought it up that I’ve tried not to say anything and that I’ve been improving or so I thought. She said, “we are so close I don’t feel like I need to talk to you all the time…I literally love you.” And has also stated last week how no matter how crazy or out of the box she acts sometimes she knows I still accept her and love her. Even called me her best friend and her friend before her boyfriend. It made me feel great hearing that because I would go to whatever lengths for this woman.



how and where do I go from here and how to handle it. I think she thinks I am needy and annoying at times. She always apologizes for saying the things but it’s clear I’m overwhelming her at times.



pls help

@dcromer3 You say your love language is always wanting to talk to her. Is part of that “talk” that you want reassurance from her? “Do you love me, do you love me, do you love me, really, really, really, do you, do you, do you?” Is it possible your “love language” is more about you than her? If you give her actual space, but then love bomb her with neediness maybe that space doesn’t feel like space to her at all? I could be totally wrong, but that is what came to mind.

— All the best
