Changes in a relationship
Hi F16 here, my bf M17 and I have been having some trouble. I really love him and I know he loves me it’s just recently he has been going on new meds and he says he feels differently about our relationship. Not that he doesn’t love me just that he doesn’t want to be on call all the time anymore or be called nicknames as much. He told me today that he didn’t know if he could put in as much effort because he has so much going on but he still has to figure things out. This really hurt to hear and then he left early because he felt like he was being negative. I don’t really know how to handle it but I still want him in my life. We have been dating for a little over a year and I was wondering if any has any advice? Thank you
Honestly, I’m 17 years old and I have never been in relationship just because I know that it’s not a forever type thing. I will not put in the effort because I believe it’s a waste of time. I’m not saying that your relationship is a waste of time, it’s probably going to be something that effects the way the rest of you’re life goes. It’s an experience. But don’t let the way he acts towards you hurt you in any way. If he is telling you he doesn’t know if he can put in that effort, he truly doesn’t want to hurt you. He cares about your feelings enough to where he is letting you know how he is feeling and not just breaking up with you or ghosting you. Maybe you could try to go on a break and see how that works. Or you could just have a sit down conversation and talk about how you feel and how he feels and how you can come to a good conclusion together.
@Maddietysp Im 17 years old, and i too am in a relationship that constantly has obstacles and changes but if there is true love and you are willing to give the effort yourself then, if he truly loves you back, then after he passes the things he is passing he will show effort back. In a relationship you need to give your partner space whenever he needs it because, in your case, it seems as if what he is passing seems very important to him/her. It is only natural for there to be change in a relationship or else i personally, based on expreience, believe that it become too monotonous. Im here to listen if you want to say anything more, have a nice day.
