what do I do?
I really need some advice. I've been dating this guy for 5 months. Everything was perfect, I loved being around him. Lately, the past few weeks he's been distant. I went to his place last weekend for some quality time and we spent that time sitting on the couch watching movies and tv but no cuddles or kisses. I told him before I left for work I was unhappy and wanted some affection from him. He said he understood.
I came over the next day and the same thing happened. I asked him what was going on. He said nothing. I told him we had just talked about it and he said he understood. He freaked out at me saying that I always want sex and if I don't get it then I think he doesn't love me. I told him I was asking for affection not just sex (although that would be nice also considering it had been two weeks)
Am I asking for too much? Do I come off as needy if I ask for what I want? Is it that he feels some kind of performance anxiety? Does it put him out of the mood to be affectionate to me if I ask him directly for it? Is 5 months the normal amount of time before a guy starts taking you for granted? I don't understand. This isn't the first time this has happened in a relationship for me. I barely see my guy right now, only a day or two a week.
We hadn't spoken in days since that little argument. I reached out to him on Wednesday and we are meeting up this weekend to talk about things. Should I just get outwhile I can and cut my losses? Should I give him the benefit of the doubt and try to resolve this issue through communication? I don't know how I feel about this kind of behavior only 5 months in. I put up with the same problem in my last relationship for 4 years. I tried like hell to solve it and it ended up tearing us apart.
