I am seventeen and my boyfriend and I have been together for almost 4 months now. However, in the past week, I've been thinking of him as a friend. Is this a phase? Does it mean that my interest in him in declining? I don't want to lose interest in him, he's a great guy, however, sometimes he can be a bit boring. For example, when he's with me its very mundane, but with his friends he's spontaneous. I wish he'd be more spontaneous with me. I need some advice here?Also he's going away to England for 3 weeks. Would this be a great time to evaluate our relationship?IThere are some factors that make me think this way because my boyfriend chooses not to speak with me about certain things such as how he is feeling and his uncle's death. Also he's going through a rough time such as his mom's health problems and financial problems. I want to be a supportive girlfriend and I want to be there for him, but he won't tell me anything. I've talked to him about him not being spontaneous and not talking to anyone about his problems and he just tells me"thats the way I am."
