    i’ve been with him for almost 2 years and he’s never been this way before. our relationship has been very close. we’re intimate but at the same time we’re like childhood playmates still kidding each other around even though we just met a couple of years ago. we’re both 24. but we don’t live together yet
    but recently it’s been different. before he would often inform me where he’s going but now he “disappears” (example. not texting me the whole day or not even calling or showing up. nothing.). we did not have a major fight that’s why i’m wondering why he’s becoming like this.. it’s been 2 days and he’s not calling.

    The most important thing you said is that there is a change in your boyfriend’s behavior. Regardless of what that change is, the fact that his behavior IS changing is cause for concern, which you clearly have. I think that short of asking him what’s up – not where he is or where he disappears to, but what’s going on with him [i]beyond[/i] that, there’s not much you can do.

    He’s aiming for more privacy and freedom, and while that can mean he’s simply busy with work or contemplating his future, it can also mean he’s looking for more freedom from his two year relationship with you and is testing the waters. He hasn’t thrown you any red flags yet, but you’re wise to notice this yellow one. Talk to him. Try and open the channel of communication, and don’t make him defensive. The truth is what you need to hear, regardless of what it is.

    hi april! thanks for the reply. I have tried to talk to him and observed how our relationship went for a week, well it seems that he’s indeed looking for more privacy and it’s not an issue for me anymore because he reassured me that he did not have any bad intentions about that and he kind of apologised about not realizing the effect of what he’s doing. he explained that he just wanted to spend time with his friends and recently he’s always been taking me to where he and his friends hang out. 😉

    I’m glad things are working out. Remember to balance not necessarily reacting with keeping the communication going so you don’t feel confused or betrayed.

    Good luck! 😀
