    Boyfriend trying to end relationship? Or does he just need space?
    My boyfriend and I have been dating for about 9 months now.. we hang out most days of the week, maybe take a day or 2 apart sometimes.. (things have been like this from just about the beginning of our relationship)we always go to his house and just relax together in front of the TV or something.. just recently (2-3 weeks ago) we started working together on mon, wed, and fridays. Last night my boyfriend said we should only hang out together like once a week. . And just a couple hours ago, he reminded me of this. So, now the only time we're going to see each other is while working with one another? No more watching movies or doing anything fun together? But my main question is; Is he tired of our relationship and maybe is trying to slowly break things off with me? Or does he still care about our relationship and honestly just needs some space?.

    Unless he flat out said, "this is over.." or "I need space" (which by the way, usually means... I'm trying to slowly end things with you), it may just mean that he needs some off time.

    You two see each other almost everyday, and now work together. He may just need some time to hang out with his friends, family, or just to sit around the house. The "seeing each other 24/7" works for some couples... doesn't work for some.

    I suggest you give him his space for now... go hang out with your own friends for a little bit... do things that you enjoy for now. Continuously trying to hang out with him may put a strain on the relationship. Granted, this doesn't mean you have to tiptoe around him. If it's been 2 - 3 days and you want to see him, then make plans with him. However, don't suffocate the man.

    Doesn't sound like a very serious relationship. I think he is looking to move on. Remember a "break" is usually a "breakup".
