Hello, this is my first time posting here. I have really been struggling with my situation and need some advice. My bf and I have been in our relationship for 3 years now. We have had our ups and downs like anyone else. Me personally, I have an issue with trust. In my defense, I was previously in a 10 year relationship, had 3 children and then got cheated on. Of course, that broke my heart and it was a long time (almost 2 yrs) before I dated again. In my current relationship, the trust issue has come up many times, we both got over it. Well at least I thought he had. I promised myself and him I will work harder on it. Then there comes certain situations that make me go hmm...for instance, his cell phone...rarely will keep turned on when with me, or won't take calls when I am around. Maybe nothing, but that is one of my trust issues. Anyways, we are currently living together, however he has been out of town working(by choice) for about 6 months. I had also gone to work there for about a month back in October. While I was there, he proposed, ring and all. At that moment, something changed and I have not felt any bad feelings of distrust. He has come home many times to visit. Work is really slowing down there. We had originally planned on getting married around this time. Things have gotten pretty rough on him there, including injuring himself pretty bad. I have been on him alot lately about coming home. He tells me he can't, that he has to stay and work longer. The weekend before Valentine's Day he was dishonest with me about his whereabouts. I of course didn't take this well, and couldn't reach him to talk or argue...When we did finally talk, he told me he was going to surprise me for Valentine's Day and come visit, but not anymore and he thinks we need to take a break because I have been pushing him and not trusting him. The funny thing is about 2 weeks ago I told him I feel we are drifting apart and communication hasn't been good lately. I have given him space...Tomorrow will be a week...what's Next? Sorry for going on and on...had to give you the "big picture"
