writes:Here is the deal. My boyfriend and I have been together for 7 months about to go on 8. I'm 19 and he is 22. For his job he goes out of town a lot. Well, for the first couple days he is gone he is so sweet, caring, and acts like he did when I first met him. Then one or two days before he comes home he acts different and says he doesnt like calling me beautiful and saying how much he misses me in front of his buddies at work, or is not even excited to see me. I understand that we are clearly passed the honeymoon stage of our relationship, but I've tried bring this to his attention several times but all he ever says is " I just dont like talking like that". Am I the only one?? Or am I just overreacting?? Please help me understand if this is normal?

Do you really need to be called beautiful and told he’s missing you all the time? Like you said, you’re passed the honeymoon stage now. It’s obviously something he feels is private and so he prefers not to say those things when his colleagues and friends are around, nothing wrong with that as plenty of people would feel exactly the same about it. It’s what he feels for you in his heart that counts, that doesn’t have to be shared with the rest of the world though, or brought in to a professional setting. Perhaps you should be a bit more mature about this. You are indeed overreacting.
I wish you all the very best.

 It is quite normal for a guy not to be affectionate to his girlfriend over the phone in front off his work mates. He is just trying to be a guy in front of other men. I think the best thing to do though is when you are both together sit down with him face to face and tell him what it is that is bothering you and ask him why he feels like this. Talking about it is the only way this situation will improve.
