    I think I am becoming paranoid

    I met my boyfriend in Boston when i was doing an exchange program. I spend two months with him there, and they were the most amazing months of my life. This was during summer so he was working (he was not in college) , he had an ice cream truck and I used to go to his work every day after my classes, and when he was not working we used to do other activities and I really enjoyed every second of my life. I really could tell that we were both in love, he showed me his love in every single way. His texts, the way he tacked to me, he gave me different presents. Before I came back to my country he even gave me a ring (a promise knote ring) promising that he would do anything because he wanted me as his girlfriend forever. He used to always tell me that he never felt this way towards anyone, that i was his one and only, all those kind of stuff. I believed him because he really proved it with all his actions while i was there in Boston.

    One important thing is that I really believed that our love was real, so i opened myself to him to the point that I lost my virginity with him, I felt that he was the indicated.

    At the end of august I came back to my country, and we decided to continue the relationship. We wanted this to work, we did not want to finish the relationship, we believed that our love was so strong and not even time, not even distance, no one could break us apart. I was scared because I knew this was going to be hard and specially for me since he was going to return to college, and I was going to be at home doing nothing and bored.

    We have been in a LDR for 2 months (ONLY TWO MONTHS) and this has been really hard for me. Since the first week of his college everything was different, he started going out, drinking, partying. But we still, talked, facetime, he was able to divide his time for his friends and social life and for me. HOWEVER, during the past 3 weeks this has changed, I really feel that he is not as interested as he was, he spend more time out and when we facetime is not the same. I've talked to him about this before, i asked him how he was feeling if he felt he wanted to continue this relationship. I also told him how i was feeling that I've been feeling down and crying because i miss him more and more. He apologysed for making feel that way, he told me that he knew that he was always around people, and he told me that everything he wanted was me and that he never want to lose me.

    Sometimes I feel that he is full of words now, because now he does not show me that he wants and loves me, he used to do that before when i was in Boston. The biggest problem is that I'm always at home, while he is out, and I'm becoming crazy. I am starting to beleive the worst things, I'm extremely jelaous about everything, I create dramas inside my head to the point that i start crying for hours thinking that doesn't love me anymore and he is putting his popularity and parties over me, one night i even thought he cheated on me, but he is not capable of doing that. I know him and his friend have told me that he always talks about me and he is so dedicated to his relationship, but right now i don't feel that.

    We we started the LDR it was fun, we talked for ours, we played, we have done everything. Now we rarely talk, he takes a long time to reply my messages. I think like Im losing my mind, I don't know what to think, who do I believe: my mind or his words? I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

    One last thing is that I'm applying for college to go back to Boston in spring of 2018, but I do not know if it worth it.

    Here is advice from my own experience that I offer to folks who get caught up in waiting for the next text from their partner:

    Are you a student? If yes, go to school. Focus on school.
    Are you gainfully employed? If yes, go to work and be present at work.
    Have friends? If yes, spend time with them. Enjoy yourself.
    Have hobbies? If yes, spend time on your hobbies.
    Have family? If yes, spend time with them.
    Have interests? If yes, spend time on those things you are interested in.
    Have internet? Read about the stages of relationships so that you will be knowledgeable about how relationships grow.
    Exercised today? If not, go for a walk or jog or bike ride. Get active.
    If you answered no to all of the above, change your life so that you can answer yes to some of these things.

    Be a whole person so that you can be a whole person in a relationship. Become a priority for yourself and have a great relationship with yourself. Do not rely on your partner to complete you. Be a complete person whose partner is a positive addition to your life.

      I agree! Get out more and enjoy your life, don't live your life round your partner because if you they will never be able to pay you enough attention.

      Now if you feel like he is losing interest, its prob your gut feeling telling you something is off. Everyone gets busy in life, but once things start to decline, that's a sign something is off. You can look at my past posts of my struggles of my former LDR. My situation was similar to yours, except the guy wasn't actually ever busy (not employed or in school). His communication sucked to a point where I could go a whole day w/out a single text, prob longer if I didn't text him 1st. I talked to him about the situation after a forgotten vid call (he had forgotten before) and he told me he didn't want to lose me, he would try harder etc. That never happened and he broke up w/me because I got frustrated w/his lack of attention. My gut feeling was right, that he didn't care about me.

      Does he do other things to show his affection? Sit him down again and talk to him. If nothing changes, you aren't a priority in his life.
