He's 23, I'm 19 and we've been dating for almost 9 months now. He lives in England while I live in the USA.
We got into a fight a little more than a week ago and things just haven't been the same since. I thought we'd gotten over it but now I'm not sure. He's not talking to me much. The fight started cuz I started flirting with him and getting dirty, he didn't want to cuz he was tired but instead he made a comment saying that it wasn't his fault his girlfriend has a high sex drive. It hurt my feelings when he said that and I snapped at him and said that he was usually the one who starts talking dirty and that if that was how he felt then he wouldn't have to worry about it and I would stop talking dirty to him. After we had some time to cool down and he'd gotten some sleep we talked again and we apologized to each other, we talked things through and I thought we got over it. But now he's not talking to me much. Every time I msg him he'll either take a long time to reply or won't reply at all. Anytime I try to start a conversation, he won't really talk. When I ask him if he's there, he'll say yeah. If I tell him I miss him he'll say miss you too but that's all. I know he's busy trying to apply for a new job and studying for a test but i haven't hardly talked to him in days and I miss him. I asked him what he's upto and he said just browsing online then he asked me what im doing and i said that im doing the same and he hasnt said anything since. Normally he'll send a video call so we can go on webcam but he hasn't done that either. I have a feeling he's closing off to me and I don't want him to do that. He's told me before that he tends to do that whenever he loves someone and doesn't want to get hurt. He's told me he's always considered himself to be a loner. He's been hurt a lot and gone through a lot of painful things dealing with family. Can someone please just give me some advice on how I can approach him or talk to him about it? I love him and I don't want to lose him. Thank you.
