Hi, I’m Lorraine, 19 years old. I have a boyfriend named Jack, 22, and we’ve been together for almost a year. He works at a factory near their house.

Before, we used to talk a lot because he would call me every day whenever we weren’t together. But starting last month, I noticed that he rarely texts or calls me anymore. Sometimes I don’t even receive a message from him for one or two days.

I’m not used to him being like that, but he says he’s just busy with work now and always tired, so when he gets home, he immediately goes to sleep and no longer has the energy to text me.

Now the question in my mind is,
Is he emotionally distant or just busy?

If he is really trying to make time for you, especially during his free time like his days off from work, then I think he is telling the truth that he is genuinely tired and just sleeps when he gets home. Working in a factory is not easy—it can be really exhausting.

It’s only been since last month that he started acting differently, so maybe you should keep observing first. It’s possible that his work has really become exhausting and busy lately, which is why he can’t message you as much anymore. Maybe you two can just set some quality time together during his rest days so he can make it up to you.
