Dear Queenie: Advice for an Imperfect World

Afraid of Losing Him

I am 20 and been in a relationship for almost two yrs. The problem is that we often argue but for a few weeks I have become unhappy as he no longer wants to get close to me he does not want to kiss or hug me and when I try and talk to him he just gets so cross and closes up, he will avoid eye contact and refuse to talk.

I find this so frustrating as he does not want to sort anything out with an adult conversation [he is in his late 20]. I don't know what to do. He won't tell me what he wants or what he feels. I feel like I am very alone in a relationship.

Can you help me to get to the bottom of this? -- M

M, dating is usually when two people put their best behavior on display. If I had to make a guess, I'd have to say he's ready for this relationship to end and doesn't know how to tell you.

Why don't you ask him if he'd rather be dating others. Don't be afraid of losing him. Being alone in a relationship is a terribly lonely place to be. -- Queenie
