Well, I am 16, and I would like some advice and other peoples opinions about the situation, and what I should do.
My boyfriend and I have been going out for almost 6 months. The begging of our relationship was great. We can only see each other once every 1 or 2 weeks, so he would always tell me how much he missed me, and he would be romantic, and sweet, etc. That's the guy I fell in love with.
For about a month, he has been acting differently. He doesn't tell me he misses me anymore. I don't remember the last time he said something sweet or romantic, like he used to. There's stuff that I just don't feel ready to do yet, and lately he's been doing some obvious hinting, and complaining about how I won't let him do anything and how I have him stuck on first base. He used to hang out with me every chance he could, now It's like he doesn't care. He doesn't even say "I love you" anymore.
At one point I admitted to being a somewhat jealous person, and now he always comments on how sexy other girls are, and how easy it would be for him to get the girl down the street in bed with him if he wanted. It's as if he wants me to be jealous.
I don't really feel like I can be open with him, and when I tried to let him know how I was feeling, he said he was sorry, but after that nothing changed. There have been times when I feel like he wants to say something, but then changes his mind.
I feel hurt and unloved. I don't know what happened. I do love him, and I really don't want to break up, but lately I've been thinking that maybe it would be best for both of us. I think he is bored with the relationship, or maybe it's something I don't see. Even though I don't necessarily agree with the whole "taking a break" thing, I have considered it. I'm confused. I wish I knew why he started acting like this so maybe I could fix it.
I really don't want to lose him, but I don't know what else to do.
