My boyfriend & I have been together for 7 months. We are mostly long distance (4 1/2 hours). I have come to the conclusion that he is emotionally unavailable.
We have had open talks about this. He says he doesn’t know when he will be able to feel more for me. Because of this, I often don’t feel like he prioritizes me like I prioritize him or think about him. I’ve been patient for 2 months after having this initial discussion. It is starting to take a toll on me. Waiting for him to call when it works for him. He said he wants to call me but sometimes he feels like he has to. That really hurt my feelings. I just don’t know what to do.
A few days ago I addressed it again & said it’s affecting my mental state & that it might be best if we took a break. He said “please stay with me don’t break up, I need more time. Just give me more time”. He tells me he appreciates me often, but it feels completely different from my other relationships bc I’ve never had a guy who wasn’t in love with me. Advice please!!! If any of you have been in this situation.
