Is he trying to break up?

I've been with my bf for a while now, and yesterday he went back home which is about 3 hours away with the train. I just got a txt from him saying ' when am i going to see you next, i have a feeling that i won't' and later he sent a txt saying 'i'm just worried that it will fall apart'.

I said to him that if he's worried and can't trust himself (to be faithful) then we should end it now, but he said 'no way, i'm committed'.

should i worried? is he trying to break us off cos he won't be able to commit as we won't be seeing each other much for three months?

Ring him?

If he is saying that he is commited, then do you have reason not to believe him? His text messages seem hard to decipher. Your best bet is to speak on the phone.

Agree with above poster, give him a ring and talk about it, the messages are a bit cryptic and could be interpreted several different ways

Maybe he's worried that you seemed a bit distant with him?

speculations on this are never 100% accurate, but i can give you advice on it based how i imagine i'd be feeling at the time if he was me. i can relate cos i've had one or two distance relationships myself.
he doesn't want to break up, he's just worried you might forget about him/want someone closer to you.
give him a call. tell him you miss him and you wish he was there. if i've guessed right and that's what's up then it'll help out to no end.

yeah i called him and he said he never wanted to let go and he loves me too much. i reassured him by saying the same things and that i'll always be with him etc. so that he wouldn't worry about it. thanks simple_things you were right and thnx everyone else for replying =D

Sounds more like he thinks you're going to break up with him, rather than the other way round.

I thought you broke up with him?

Ive got a feeling, if your saying things like this, thats why...

If he thought u were cheating, and kept saying to u "are you sure you want this relationship? Its not feeling right atm! Is this what you want?". Even though HE thinks YOUR cheating, you may interpret it as... "I wanna be free, please tell me you want the same...!"

Thats a bit extreme but hope that helps... ;grin;

doesnt sound like he wans to break up with you at all! just that maybe he's worried it wont work out cuz he lives so far? i dunno, just talk to him in person and ask him if he's really serious with you!
