Hey there, thanks for reaching out to us!

 

It sounds like you’re going through a bit of a tough time with your relationship, and that can be really confusing. Firstly, we want to say that it’s completely normal to feel unsure or distant in a relationship sometimes.

 

It might be helpful to reflect on why you’re feeling this way. Are there specific things about the relationship or your boyfriend’s behaviour that are causing you to distance yourself? It could be helpful to talk to your boyfriend about how you’re feeling and see if you can work through any issues together. 

 

Communication is key in any relationship, and being honest about your feelings can help strengthen your bond. However, if you’re finding it difficult to talk to your boyfriend or if you’re feeling overwhelmed, it’s important to remember that you’re never alone.

There are resources available to support you, like Childline. We offer confidential support and guidance to young people, no matter what you’re going through. You can reach out to us 24/7 either by phone at 1800 66 66 66 or through our website’s messenger feature at Childline.ie.

 

Ultimately, it’s important to prioritise your own well-being and happiness. Whether that means working through issues with your boyfriend or taking some time to focus on yourself. Know that it’s ok to do what’s best for you. Trust your instincts and remember that there are people who care about you and want to help you through this situation.

 

Look after yourself, and reach out again if you would like to talk further about this or anything else,
