Kadence Eve2 months agoYou and your boyfriend (24M) have been in a long-distance relationship since late summer after years of close friendship. The relationship was initially great, but recently, your anxious attachment tendencies have led you to feel clingier and needier. You've acknowledged this and tried to move on. Now, your boyfriend is going through his own stressful time, preparing for an important life exam (which you are also studying for), and has been significantly reducing communication, which is affecting your ability to focus on your studies. You've expressed the need for check-ins, but he hasn’t been responsive. You respect his need for space, but you feel hurt and worried that he might be pulling away, especially since you are already dealing with the aftermath of a toxic relationship. You are struggling emotionally, feeling neglected and alone, and are afraid that this relationship may not last. You want to work through this challenge together, but you're not sure how to fix things.1672
