Don't know what to think

    been with my boyfriend for a few months and alls been good until a few days ago when he suddenley started being very short with me...saying just one word or less. asked him why and said it was because he was cranky even though i really needed him to be supportive of me that day as im going through alot of financial and personal problems at the moment.thought it'd be all good today.he's still the same. Im a third year in college and trying to finish projects in my spare time which does get in the way of us being together some nights. Ive tried explaining this to him but he just brushes it off and says everything is fine when i know it really isn't..

    how do i get him to understand this and see that i love being with him but i cant put him before college? This lead to the downfall of my last relationship and im just frightened its going to happen again. Any replies or advice would be helpful.thanks xx

    If he can't sit down and explain to you what the problem is then he has a bit of a maturity issue in my opinion. But maybe the stress of college is making you be a little bit off with him too and he's picking up on that? It could be that he just doesn't know how to help - or what to do or say to make you feel better. Some guys are just really bad at talking about how they're feeling, you really need to sit down and discuss it.

    Regardless, don't let this interfere with your college work, he might be around a few months or a few years, but your results are going to impact your life forever.

    thanks g86, we did discuss it briefly and he just said he woke up on the wrong side of the bed. I guess college stress is interefering abit which ive told him but all i get is a brick wall..hes not in college or working at the moment which gives him loads of free time of which i dont have

    He's not in college or working? Maybe thats whats getting him down - you're flat out busy - and he might feel a bit lost. I'm picking at straws here to be honest, maybe someone guys in here will have some insight, but unless you can get him to talk to you I don't think there's an awful lot else you can do.

    Hope it works out, and try not to think about it too much, just try to be patient with him and hopefully he'll tell you whats bugging him

    You're only together a few months so are still working out how to communicate with each other properly. You'll get there.
