Why Is My Boyfriend Being Distant Novels & Stories

“I mean he won’t return my calls. Won’t answer my texts. At work, he barely speaks to me. It’s like I don’t exist.” Catherine was quiet for a moment. “Have you done something to upset him?” “No. Nothing. We were fine two months ago. We even spent the night together. But since then, he’s been distant.” “You spent the night together?” “Yes. After our dinner together. He came to my apartment and we had sex.” Catherine made a small sound. Approval, maybe. “And since then?” “Nothing. Complete silence.” “That boy.” Catherine sighed. “He’s always been like this. Pulls away when things get too real. Just like his father.”

You're super supportive and an amazing boyfriend. I smiled and shook my head. J:Thank you, but I don't feel that way. S:You are! I've been with Liam for years and while he's physically here, he's distant. Always on his damn phone and doing stuff for the internship at his dad's office. Such a workaholic and it's not even a paying job yet. J: Every time I've been around, he's been pretty present. S: You mean with his nose stuck in his phone?

He said, placing me by his side. I creased my eyebrow at him, confused. "Are you okay?" He stared into space, not saying anything. I waved my hands in his face, gaining his attention. "Didn't you hear me?" I held his face still. He held my hand, bringing it down. My heart ached from the action "You've been acting distant since yesterday. Why?" I folded my arms, looking him up and down. He sighed heavily, resting his head on the chair. "Nothing" His tone was cold.

Zade asked, eyeing me carefully. “Probably a man?” Wat added with a grin. I shot them a glare. “Shut up.” “I’ll take that as a yes,” Zade said immediately, pointing at me like he’d cracked some huge mystery. “He’s been distant lately. What the hell am I supposed to do?” “Who?” Zade asked. “Your fling?” I slowly shook my head. “No. No, no.” I let out a long sigh. “My boyfriend.” “Your what?!” they said in unison.

He kissed me, and I closed my eyes and tried to believe him. But the distance didn’t close. If anything, it grew. Over the next few weeks, Ethan became a ghost. He canceled plans, stopped returning calls, answered texts with single words or not at all. When I did see him, he was distracted, his mind somewhere else, his eyes avoiding mine. I told myself it was the stress of leaving. I told myself he needed space. I told myself that if I just held on a little longer, everything would go back to the way it was.

My girlfriend is currently neglecting me. No reply. Not even to reprimand me to focus on work like she usually did when I distracted her during office hours. It could be that she was in a meeting. It could be that her phone was in her bag. It could be a dozen reasonable things that had nothing to do with me. But I didn't believe any of them anymore. I pushed back from my desk and stood. Clearly, waiting on her wasn't working. I needed a direct approach to breach this distance between us before it drove me crazy.

"I feel like he's been distant. Canceling plans, postponing dates, everything annoys him, and he snaps at me..." The revelation took Bella by surprise. Tony and Lily had always been the epitome of a strong, loving couple. The idea of distance creeping into their relationship seemed unfathomable. "Why do you think he's been distant?" Bella probed gently, sensing there was more beneath the surface. Lily's voice wavered with vulnerability. "I love him, Bella. But sometimes it feels like he's holding back, like he's not fully present. And lately, it's been more frequent. I can't shake off the feeling that something's changed."

It all kind of stuck, we were stuck not moving forward. He went out after hearing my confession. He didn't even look at me. I didn't wanted it to happen to us. I was worried at how he left the house. I loved him so much but it wasn't working in between us. It wasn't just today, or a week or a month, it was going on for years. We were getting distant over the years without even realising it. We stopped being the lovey dovey couple we used to be. We just cared for each other and it became a habit living together and nothing else. We got comfortable and lived a routine life for years.

Lisa It had been weeks since I’d seen my boyfriend. Between his new job and my late hours, our messages had turned from constant to occasional, from flirty to distant and lately I’d been missing him and wanting him badly. So that night after work, I decided to go to his place feeling excited and imagining how he was going to make me beg for more, when he starts fucking me but when I got there, he wasn't home. I called him again and again but each time, it rang until voicemail.

She knew what every single facial expression of his meant, the way he would sigh when he was annoyed, or how he would get very quiet when something was off with him. She had the guy figured out. But lately? It was like someone swapped out her fiance for a stranger when she wasn’t looking. He no longer reached out to her, barely spoke with her, and just sort of… seemed very distant to her, he always had his eyes fixed on his phone or, worse, just zoning out during meals together.
