I'm just looking for another person's opinion on the situation my relationship's in, any advice would be appreciated.
So my boyfriend and I have been in a relationship for nearly two years, for both of us it's our first proper relationship and we met during our last year of college. After 6 months of being together I left for university and my boyfriend stayed at home for a gap year. That year I obviously had to consider the geographical distance between the both of us but we kept the relationship going and all was well really.
From this September onwards things are a bit different because he's now gone to university so whilst we're both closer, he's in the situation I was in last year where I imagine he's surrounded by a lot of new fresher's but decided to continue as we have never had any real problems and we're both still 'in love' so to speak.
However two days ago my boyfriend rung me up and told me that he'd been thinking late at night about the two of us being together and how sometimes he worries that we're just together for the sake of being together and he thinks that we should spend a month with contacting each other to see if we really do 'need' and 'want' each other or we're just in the a relationship because we've never fallen out. This would mean no texting or meeting up for a month. I'm obviously quite concerned because simply having these thoughts means that he's doubting the future of our relationship and he's now in the situation that this point last year where he's surrounded by a lot of people, especially of the opposite sex.
However despite this, I don't want to over react as I feel the point about "are we just together just for the sake of being together" is a good one because with this being our first proper relationship for each of us we don't know what a relationship should be like after 2 years.
Any advice would be welcomed, many thanks
