So lost and confused!!!

[blindbylove]

I've been dating my boyfriend for two years now, it is long distance relationship. Our relationship was going really well we would text message each other everyday, he is a caring boyfriend and would reply to my text message right away whenever i text him. But recently i had some problems in life and on top of that i was involved in a car accident, i had to go through a rough time so i didn't want to talk to him just in case i'll make him feel down too. So i said to him that i wanted to have some space and that we should talk again when i feel better. He agrees with it. So after 5 days without any contact i started to miss him terribly so i text him saying that i really miss him but now he's totally ignoring me. He wouldn't come online to read my message, i tried to send another message but there's no sight of him, it's like he's totally disappearing. This is an unusual behaviour because he was never like this before. I know that he's trying to avoid me because i know he was online a day before i text him. I think i've hurt his feeling by saying that we shouldn't contact. It's been two days that i text him and i haven't heard anything from him. I really miss him! I'm so lost! What should i do now? Is this the sign that he wants to break up?

I'm sorry you've been through a tough time lately.

But yes, it could be a sign that he wants to break up. It's quite likely that he was already considering it and then when you pushed him away, it was all he needed to make up his mind. I think you also should realise that telling him that you needed time out isn't so much about hurting him - it's a demonstration that you're not solid in the relationship. People who are meant to be together pull together when times are tough - they don't push each other away.

What's your relationship like? How much time do you get to spend together? In short, is it meeting his needs for 1:1 time together and physical affection?
