i love spending time with my girlfriend, i wish we lived together, and she has expressed the same feeling with me. i understand that she needs her time with her family and i need time with my hobbies/activities. but when we first met we would text and talk almost the entire day, even when she was with her family. 8 and a half months in needless to say it is the complete opposite, we text but not even close to a third of the amount that we use to. but when we are together things are great. is this just a sign of maturity in a relationship, or is it a sign of lack of interest in one another, trying to get some space from one another?

TasteofIndia agony auntI think it's maturity. At the beginning of a relationship, things are usually so energized and there are texts and phone calls and things flying back and forth... and then eventually - usually somewhere around 6-7 months - things start to slow down.

I think this is only a sign of reaching a level of comfort with each other. Congratulations! As long as things are still wonderful between you, it's all good.

Enjoy each other, sweetness!

sexi agony auntHi, i don think that there is anything to worry about. If you are still unsure ask her and then you would know where you stand. I just think that she is now comfortable in the relationship (which is a good thing)If you speak to her then she would probably do more to meak you feel better of she would explain her behaviour.

Regards

hlskitten agony auntHi

Maturity in the relationship i would say.

You couldnt possibly keep up the momentem you had in the early days. It always calms down a bit.

Its not really healthy to put all your eggs in one basket & focus solely on each other.

Its a natural progression.

All the best.

I think it's maturity. When me & my boyfriend where getting to know each other etc we would text throughout the day and then at night we'd stop on the phone till I fell asleep lol. Then when we started going out we saw each other all the time and texted.

Now we've been together since April 05 [over 2 years] and we still see each other all the time but we don't text each other - he doesn't have a phone anymore. But if for a day we don't see each other then I'll ring him and talk for a while.

It depends what works for you - if it works for both of you then you've nothing to worry about.
