I’ve been dating someone for 3 months and more and more I’m noticing just a kind of silence that brings my mood down.

Like texting will be sweet, I come over and am welcomed with a big hug, we watch something together and then cuddle to sleep.

The morning comes and even throughout the day sometimes, there’s a silence. It makes me feel like maybe I did something wrong but I don’t think I did.

I try to evaluate my own thoughts and feeling about this.

In the morning she stayed in bed until 10 am. That gives me a lot of anxiety. But I kept myself chill and then suggested breakfast. Once we decided my body just wants to get up and going but it takes her longer. One time she called me out for making her feel rushed and I apologized.

I told her I would go for a walk and when she asked why I said it’s because I want to get my blood flowing and don’t want to make you feel rushed so I’ll go for a walk until you come out, which probably gave her anxiety just hearing that alone.

I’ve been in my car for 10 minutes and just want to cancel breakfast and tell her I’m anxious and would rather just go home.

I know I can be anxious but at the same time it’s almost 11 am I usually get coffee and breakfast by like 8.

And then when we go out even when I take her out to places where she enjoys it sometimes at the end of the day I still feel like I get a cold shoulder like she is mad at me for something

Is this just the common struggle of men in relationships? It’s disheartening
