Hey guys. I've been in a serious committed relationship with my boyfriend. We've been together 13 months now and we love each other so much. We're both attached to each other and we have a really cute relationship. We're normally so affectionate with each other no matter where we are.
I just turned 19 and we're about the same age. We used to fight a lot but the past 4 months or so we've been getting along great and have been barely fighting at all. He told me the other week how happy he was with me and he loved the way I was being lately and how much fun we've been having together.
However, 3 nights ago we got in a stupid fight. It was really pathetic and caused by me. But ever since then he's been different. He's texted me a couple times over the past couple days saying he hates how I flip out over little things and cause pointless fights. I admit I can be immature at times and I overreact or I over think little problems and sometimes I freak out at him and I know he doesn't deserve that. He says he does have fun with me and is happy with me most of the time but he also hates being with someone who can freak out at any little thing and it's like an emotional roller coaster. I normally don't flip out like this often, but it does happen every once in a while.
This time I really upset him and he says he loves me but being with me kills him sometimes. And this morning he said he needs a while to think.
I'm freaking out right now!!! Could one stupid fight change our relationship and his feelings for me THAT much?? Or does he just need time to calm down? I really need to get him to agree to meet me that way I can sincerely apologize in person. What do I do? And how much time do you think he'll need to think?? I'm afraid I won't see or hear from him for a while and it hurts so badly because we're so close and I do feel attached to him.
My instinct is telling me that he wants things to work out between us because otherwise I think he would've told me immediately it's over. And I'm trying to stay positive by thinking that he wouldn't break up with me over this stupid fight considering how close we are and how strong of a relationship we had. But I'm feeling really depressed now because we normally talk everyday and normally I see him a lot. I'm fearing I won't see or hear from him for a while now.
The idea of him losing love for me while taking time to think always scares me. Do you think while he takes his space he'll miss me and realize the good in me? Or do you think he'll feel happier without me and get over me? I feel so confused and upset
