I (24F) have been with my boyfriend (22M) for 3 months now. Over the past few weeks his responses have been getting less and less frequent. When I approach the subject I am told that he’s just busy at work, as an apprentice plumber, and/or after work all he wants to do is sleep and relax.
This weekend it’s gotten worse as he is now making excuses not to spend time with me on the weekend.
I asked him this yesterday morning if he still wanted to be in a relationship as it doesn’t feel that way and he said “yes and he is sorry for the replies and he will work on them”.
However after that I haven’t heard from him.
We both work long weeks and I have offered multiple times for him to stay the night at my house as it is 15 min from where he works but he has turned me down every time.
He is naturally a very shy and reserved person so I’m unsure if that is the reason why.
I feel like I should add that this is his first ever relationship and has not had a partner before me.
I don’t know what to do and I am worried I’m just making this worse in my head.
Tl;dr: my boyfriend is suddenly withdrawing and I don’t know what to do
