Hey.

So... abruptly, yesterday, my boyfriend told me that he feels like he's fully Aromantic and Asexual and doesn't feel any sort of romantic connection to me anymore. We've been together on and off for the last three years and he always told me he felt so connected to me, felt deeply in love with me, felt so warm and lovely and happy with me. Even days ago. What happened?

Even worse, we're long distance and next week I had a two week long trip to him planned. I somewhat feel like I still want to go, but I feel like i'm going to be miserable the whole time... I still want and value him as a friend, but I can't deny that he's the love of my life and that makes him uncomfortable. It's just such a crappy situation for us both, and I don't know what to do.

We've both shared moments with eachother I never thought i'd feel comfortable sharing with anyone. I miss him, honestly - I miss being able to call him, to see his texts and smile. Sometimes he would just randomly tell me how much he loves me and I miss that.

What happens if he comes and tells me that really what he needed was a break from our relationship and that it wasn't definitive? After this i'm not sure I could ever trust him the same again, but i'm still so, so in love with him - and I don't think it will go away anytime soon.

Do you guys have any tips? I really need help.
