Hello,
My girlfriend and I have been together for over a year. Everything has been fine pretty much the whole time. But she has been acting a little weird/distant for the past week. This is the third time she has been this way in the past 4 months. I know she loves me but she has been feeling somewhat stressed. So I tried to talk to her this week but she did not respond. Then I tried to text her but she barely texted or not text at all. So it got to the point I decided to back-off and give her some space. I wasn’t going to sit here and try to comfort her if she was going to be difficult. All of sudden today she decided to text me. Now I’m debating if I should talk to her today. I need some opinions. Should I? Or should I talk to her tomorrow?

Thanks

People handle stress in different ways, and if you’re committed to her and the relationship, it’s a good idea to find out what it is that’s stressing her because that’s the primary problem — her communication with you is a result of that problem. Maybe it’s a problem she can talk through with you and maybe you can offer advice on how to handle the situation. You can also let her know how her stress affects you and that gives her the opportunity to understand the dynamics of the relationship a little more.

All relationships involve stress at some point and this is a good way to figure out if the two of you can handle stress, and how you do it. Be open and creative in your ability to ask questions, hear her, and problem solve together. 😉

I hope that helps. Let me know how things go, and please follow me @AskAprilcom on Twitter and on Facebook at this link: [url][/url].
