as for me just talk to your girlfriend and ask her what was going on with her, ask her if she still wants the relationship to continue..that's the best way i guess

Well I have tried this in the past.....I was able to tell because my bf in the past calls me every night after work. And there are few months in which he missed calling me for a night and when i called his cellphone it was off or cant be reached if not it just keeps ringing and he would bother answer it nor answer my txts as well.... I called him till dawn and to no avail...I checked his office and called him at home but he was not in the office and he is not at home as well... I confronted him and of course he denied it but the next time he did it again. I knew that he is seeing someone else. So what I did to confirm that my intuition is right.I got his cellphone and recorded the numbers that are currently called. I checked on these numbers..these are womens number...and BINGO one of the woman i called confirmed to me that they are dating.

i do belive that u should always trust your gut-feeling. Just ask her about it without accusing her. Say that u feel as if there is something wrong and that u hate to feel like this. maybe she will have another explanaition!

She probably is either getting tired of the relationship the way it is or yes she is cheating. Talk to her and find out if something is wrong.

If there is some inconsistency then 99% that your gut feeling is true. Being busy, being in diffrent school, and having a time difference of two hours is not a reason for not calling or spending time together like the way both of used too. Try to suprise her one time, drop by the school unexpected you will know the answers to your questions, observe how would she react to your unsurprised visit. Pray for it.

dont you think an suprise visit is a little creepy it mite show that i dont trust her or anything like that.. plus not knowing her school schedule if i do end up seeing her at a time when she is in the middle of a big test or something that would not be good because school has to be first.. just my thought.. but i like your ideas as well as i really appriciate everyones opinion ... all my friends are tired of hearing about my problems on msn and stuff haha its really nice to have a new point of view

Unfortunately that sounds like he may be cheating. I would just talk to him. Be honest. Relationships are hard, not to mention add the stress of college. Just be honest and hopefully he is honest too

My explanation of this situation you pretty much already covered in your initial posting. When a relationship starts out one way (talking everyday, seeing each other a lot etc.) and then things change quite drastically (her not wanting to talk and not calling etc.) tells me that there is some kind of issue going on. Does it relate to you? Yes, more than likely, there is a slim chance that something else is going on just with herself that she doesn't want to talk and what not, but the chances are your gut feeling is right and things aren't heading the right direction.

you could have been so close now that she thiks there is no use to call each other everyday. after all, you need a little space once a while. do not judge her yet or jump into conclusions.

see,people are different.there are people who fall in love,speak for hours daily and when this continues over a period of time,they feelbored seeing you and speaking to you.there is nothing wrong in it.you have to change your approach in order to continue your relationship.

I have very strong feelings about this. I don't believe you need to know if a person is cheating on you or not. (I don't understand the people who think they need proof.) All that matters in a relationship is how you feel, and if you don't have trust, you have nothing. You must trust your instincts. That little voice in your heart or heart or gut is there for a reason. It protects you and guides you. Only you can be sure that you are putting your best interests first. If you have lost the trust (and as you say, things have changed and are not acceptable to you), then I feel you must go ahead and end the relationship based on that. Not based on a big Spanish Inquisition of "Are you cheating on me or not?" and oh, my, do I believe this or not? Just do what your instincts tell you. It may hurt but it will hurt a lot less than if you don't take control of the situation on your own.

wow ive never looked at it quite like that

My friend, Out of sight is out of heart. This is a clear indication that she is falling away from the relation with you. The distance between is affecting your relation. She probably feels that because of your platonic relation she is missing a lot of things in her life. I guess what you should do is just discuss openly. Tell her that she has the freedom to move out of the relation, if she feels. But she should be frank with u. May be, there are some other problems she has in this long distanec relation. Good luck to you.

if she doesn't call you doesn't mean she had stopped caring for you, thats suppossed to happen in a relationship, she must be having some extra business which she needs to take care of.

Well there is no specific way u can tell why her behaviour has changed suddenly but there are a couple of points i would like to put forward to u the first being that Maybe u did something which has rilly hurt her and she wants u to understand it yourself and to apologise another problem maybe that she has lost that love she had for you or maybe there is someone who is entering her life and is taking some part of her time or maybe she has a crush on someone and she will come back to u as soon as it is over

The first thing you should do is to talk to her about your worries. Always remember communication is the best way to resolve your misunderstandings. Even if you fight it out as long as you know where will relationship will go.

it may happen. sometimes she may be in busy with something, exams or family problems or health problems. first you have to query about her present status. Then only take final decision about friendship with her.

something has obviously changed her but it might not be that she has another bloke.try to coool off for a bit and give her a little space , she might realise what she has to lose if she doesnt hear from you in a few days . be strong whatever the outcime .
