Hi,
So recently my gf has been saying a lot of "bad" stuff to me such as
* Oh u never do this for me
* never take me out
* never do fun activities
* U are boring
When I actually do all of the listed above, feels like shes lost a bit of respect for me.
We have been together for 4 years now (still dont live together).
Recently I have been very busy with running my own company, so wen we do meet I do spend around 30-50% of the time working on my company.
And now shes acting like she has become "independent", does things which we would do together by herself e.g. go running. Wanders around the park by herself. Doesn't say goodnight, falls asleep randomly, doesnt message me as often - her excuse is that she is busy. But still says I love you to me (which i recently have stopped believing).
Is there something I have done wrong? what can i do to get back her back to be loving/normal as she used to be!
To whether she is cheating relax. She COULD be taking dick all over town, but nothing here really signals that. Gasp...a 4 year relationship where you dont go out, you never go have fun, you spend a large portion of the little time you do get together working on your company...it doesnt need some side guy to make her feel bored. I dont think I've ever known a girl who wont be on her way out if you're staying in, not having fun and working all the time. You're a strong guy, you have your own company, your ambitious. But I'm not gonna tell you that strength makes a woman stick in boring. Attraction is just one component. If it's boring, it's dead. She isnt gonna stay in, barely see you and sit back while you're on spreadsheets and actually stick around because she likes your drive or strength. Dump her and get another chick, the other chick will get tired too and just leave if the conditions are like this.
Your relationship has gotten boring. If you're that busy with your company, then most likely you really ARE boring. Kudos on running your own shit, but that comes with the expense of your relationship. If you spend 30-50% of your time together working, then I believe your gf when she says those things. Cant picture a workaholic who does that being a fun guy anymore or being able to focus on a date when his mind is on his grind. Your gf is bored from not having fun and not seeing you alot, and when she DOES see you, your not present. So she's getting used to being alone and doing her own shit. Ever been in a LDR? When you dont really see someone and if you cant communicate with them, you feel weird and single even though you have a gf.
I get it. You are building something and you just want stability from a relationship. You want the chick to just be there for you while you take care of shit. But she wants a relationship. She wants fun, she wants dates, she wants romance, she wants quality time. You gotta decide how you manage your relationship. Is she worth putting some effort to find a better balance between work and love? That's up to you. It's 4 years so I assume the chick should be if you've been with her that long. If you want to save this, you gotta manage your time with her better, and remember to have some fun. If you can't or just dont want to, might as well end it. Let her find someone who can give her time and fun.
