Problems with boyfriend of 3 years.
This is my first post here, so hello!
I've been with my boyfriend for 3 years, living together for a year and a bit. So far, everything has been amazing, no problems. But then a few days ago he started acting strangely, being very quiet with me, hardly talking at all. We finally talked about it yesterday and he told me that he's doubting how he feels about me, isn't sure if he's in love with me anymore. I got really upset (it was quite unexpected!) and he reassured me that he wants to try and make this work. He said it feels like we have slipped into being friends rather than lovers, which I suppose I can feel too. It's just hard to hear.
We're obviously going to try and make things right, spend more quality time together (at the moment, most of our time together is spend shopping, doing housework, boring things!) Especially as we are only 21, I think it's important that we have some fun together for a change! But the other thing is that since a couple of months ago, our sex life has got pretty boring/non-existant. I'm wondering if this could be part of the problem. I know this has definitely been something that is mostly my fault, I've been very stressed and busy with uni lately and not making time for sex and I could feel that it was putting a strain on us.
Sorry about the very long post! I guess I was just wondering if anyone else has been in this kind of situation and managed to turn things around? The fact that we both really want it to work means we have a good starting point, but is it even possible?
Thanks :)
