Why Is My Boyfriend Being Distant Novels & Stories

I went online to search for answers, and most of the results suggested that if a spouse acted distant the way she did, it could mean that they did not love their partner. Who did she love if not me? I thought back and recalled her having a boyfriend during college. He was practically the male equivalent of a campus idol, and they were together for two years before they suddenly broke up for reasons I never knew. Why would she go through the trouble of marrying me if she did not love me? Later, I came across an article with expert commentary describing symptoms that matched her behavior perfectly. It suggested that she might have a low libido.

“What’s going on, Nathaniel? Am I not enough for you anymore?” “Of course you are!” His voice rose, but the desperation in it didn’t comfort me, it only made me more suspicious. “You know I love you.” “Then why does it feel like you’re slipping away?” I challenged, my brows arching. “Because I’ve been busy! You know how it is with work.” He stood up, pacing the room. “You’re the one who’s been distant.” “Distant? I’ve been trying to hold on to you!” I shot back, frustration boiling over.

Now, it seemed that he’d fallen for her already. “She’s been… distant,” he continued, frustration creeping into his voice. “Avoiding being seen with me in public. Cutting conversations short. Acting like she’s bracing for something.” My jaw tightened. “And you don’t know why.” “No,” he snapped. Then, quieter, “And that’s what’s driving me insane. She was supposed to go out with me this morning, we had a coffee date. She didn’t show. Texted me that something came up but wouldn’t say anything else.”

“Yeah, I can tell. You look like you’ve been wrestling your feelings and losing.” I sighed, leading her toward the lounge. “Come on. Let’s talk.” We collapsed on the large couch, feet curled under us like teenagers at a sleepover. Vivi wasted no time. “All right, spill. You look like your soul’s been stepped on.” “It’s Alexander,” I said quietly. Her expression became filled with concern. “What happened?” “He’s been… distant. Different. It’s like he’s avoiding me. He barely talks to me anymore.” “What the hell? Did you guys fight or something?”

ARIA’S POV The days seem to stretch endlessly, and the nights feel even longer. Lately, Adam has been distant, his mind consumed by the relentless pressures of his business. I understand it’s because of the stress he's under, but it still hurts. We’ve stopped going on dates, his meals have become sparse, and the intimacy we once shared has dwindled.

Harmony growled. "I just let her be, like you said she's a sex starved bitch, but what made me begin to think otherwise, is how distant Frank has been lately." I scowled. "The love is there you know? I can feel it, just that we don't communicate like we used to, he hardly picks my calls this days and he only calls once in a while," I blurted, a confused expression on my face. "I keep convincing myself that he's buzy, or something like that, but he could at least pick my calls," I shrugged.

All the time pissed, annoyed, rude, and unlike her. “Yes, you did wrong. Always trying to be clingy and intimate, why? Is there nothing else to do except this? You are also tired of all the duties, right? Then, just relax while you get time, and yes, I am being distant because I don’t want to be close to you. I love my personal space and I love enjoying that. Is this much of an explanation fine or do I need to be more clear with my words?”

He never understood why the pair of lovers, even though they love each other, would fall apart or break up. “Well… there are also factors to consider…” Rai muttered. “But one of the reasons is the distance.” He said. “’distance’!” Shane exclaimed. Now, he understood. Rai smiled. “Yes. And because of the distance, one of the lovers is absent by their side.” He said. “Even if they could contact their lover through a call or video call, it is different from having your lover physically by your side.” He looked at Shane. His face is serious. “And even if they could travel to where their lover is, but to travel frequently… no matter how much you love them, it is still too tiring.” He told Shane.

Still so damn weird to see even though I was expecting her. “Time for an ultrasound, been quite awhile since the last one,” I say, as I turn in his arms and move in for a kiss. He licks his lips quickly and I move against his wet warmth, flicking my tongue there too. He’s been so distant lately, spending more nights away from me. It’s like a pattern anymore; he’s obsessed with me for a week, then he’s missing all the time. Rinse and repeat. “Come on, I know you saw me. On the clock here guys,” the witch whines.

“Then what way am I supposed to think about it?” He struggled to answer. “I don’t know how to explain everything without making this worse.” I stared at him in disbelief. “You already made it worse.” He lowered his eyes. I took a shaky breath and tried to keep my voice from breaking. “All those times you were distant, all those times you kept checking your phone and acting like something was wrong, all those times you told me you needed space and I tried not to take it personally, was it because of Dan?” Kenz hesitated.
