My best friend and her boyfriend are in a long distance relationship. Somehow she has got an idea that long distance doesn’t work. They both are still trying to make it work. But from past 1 month she says she is feeling that he is acting detached and is trying to hide something. I am trying to tell her that she is overreacting, but she just isn’t listening to me! What should I do?
Dear, long distances are much more difficult, because communication is restricted. And, I can’t stress this enough, communication is the only key to a good relationship. He may be under some stress in office, maybe he is too busy in work. Maybe he’s had a fight with his room mate. What actions of his made your best friend think that he is hiding something? She has to talk it and clear it out with him. Till she does this, noone can help her.
My personal advice to you is be supportive of your friend meanwhile. If she feels you are not understanding her, she may withdraw from you completely and you will not be able to help her anymore.
Tell her to confront him and tell him that she is having problems in trusting him. If they don’t have a proper conversation about the problem, real or imaginary, it will be difficult to continue
