My bf and I have been together for over a year now. We overall have had a great relationship and are happy together. However we did get into a fight a week ago. I think our fight pushed him over the edge because he's been stressed out in his life because of his job. Recently he's been exhausted because his boss is trying to meet a deadline and he's been working more hours. In this past week we've pretty much made up after our fight, or so I thought.. I haven't seen him in a week and we live in the same town. We were both upset with eachother and wanted to cool down after our fight. We've still been talking everyday but not too much..just some texts here and there throughout the day. He's been coming home everyday and wanting time to himself and to relax and catch up on sleep. And I've basically been doing the same, I even went away for a few days on vacation with family.
Basically the problem is that he hasn't asked to hang out?! It's confusing because after our fight he said he needed "space" and time to think if there was a chance we could still be together. soo I pretty much gave him his space and then he started texting me telling me he loves me and is attached to me and him having space made him realize how much he does need me. He said he just felt over tired from work which has been stressful lately and he wanted time to himself but he said he wants to still be with me and give us another chance.
He said last night after thinking his decision is to be with me and I overall make him really happy. He even said he has a lot of fun hanging out with me and spending time together. But I'm so confused..like why the hell didn't he text me today asking me to hang out? Is it likely he's stil stressed from work and wanted to have one more day to rest before jumping back into our relationship and giving it another a chance? I heard from him this morning he said he loves me but that was it. I thought since we haven't been together in a week then he would be dying to see me. Normally we never go this long without seeing eachother. I know he isn't cheating or anything. He said he really misses me when we're not together but his work is so exhausting that it takes everything out of him to the point where he wants to go home and sleep. Does that sound realistic though? Because I feel like wouldn't you want to see the person you love? He works construction btw and lately has been working 12+ hours 6-7 days a week.
I just don't know what to think.. I felt relieved he said he wanted to be with me and space made him realize he misses me and is attached to me. But why hasn't he asked to hang out? I could use some advice on what I should do in my situation or the way a guys mind works because I don't know whether I should stay calm and think he's just tired from work or if I should be freaking out right now that in reality he just doesn't want to see me. But then it's like, if he didn't want to see me why would he choose to stay with me and why would he tell me he has fun hanging out with me? He even said the other day he likes hanging out with me rather than his friends or anyone else. Ugh, I just don't know what to think! He's confusing me :/ and it hurts it's been a week since I've seen him
