so recently my significant other (M19) of 8 months has been distant. I(F19) can say he's never been the type to text a whole lot but idk its been hard. all I ask if for him to tell me goodnight, communicate and give effort. just recently we had a whole talk about the relationship. I made it clear I felt he was giving the bare minimum and that I didn't feel the same amount of effort being put in by him that was being put by me. I also told him I was tired of CONSTANTLY having to ask him to reply to me and to not just randomly stop texting me. to be fair we see each other quite often and maybe he doesn't see the need to show me the amount of love he gives in person when its over the phone. he just knows I am the type of person who needs to know im cared for.. and that I need communication. I've also kinda been having a gut feeling something is off yk. like when he does reply now its dry.. and not as detailed as it used to be. I know ill live if I lose him.. but I really hope I can save it. his birthday is this week and I planned a whole day for us lol. silly me he's probably cheating
