Hello all,
I am currently in a LDR with my boyfriend of only a couple of months. We met on a dating app last year and we both live in two different states. We decided to meet each other in March which is when he asked me out and we became "official".
My boyfriend is currently in med school (MS2 I believe). For the past month, our communication has gone downhill. Generally, we talk throughout the day via text and we FaceTime/call each other in the evenings everyday or every other day. He started taking his final exams around mid-April which lasted about a month (he finished his last exam this past Tuesday). Once he started studying for finals, he really pulled back with talking to me which I was okay with since his exams sounded stressful (he had about three finals per week). He is also planning to take Step 1 in mid-June, so he studied for finals on top of his Step 1 exam. (He's been studying for Step 1 since the beginning of January.)
Currently, he's studying for his Step 1 now and is really stressing out about it. When I try to talk to him, he simply tells me how he has no time for breaks and the like. He said he doesn't even have time to call his parents, to workout/cook/do anything fun. I've been really supportive of it all, but I think what's been bothering me is that he HAS been able to go out with his friends (I only know this because of what he posts on social media). He is able to make time for his friends, but hasn't been contacting me at all. I also notice that he goes on Facebook off and on throughout the day.
I asked him if I did something to make him angry/upset to which he told me no. The last time I told him that I really missed him, he simply said he was sorry and can't do anything about it (usually he says that he misses me too). He said once he finishes his Step 1, he is able to take a break for a little while then he starts rotations. I sent him a text a couple of days ago telling him how I've been feeling about all of this and whether or not we should keep going with our relationship or not, however he hasn't gotten back to me.
I don't want to sound like the needy girlfriend, however the way he's been acting has been really off and I'm just confused. I'm not in med school (I'm in graduate school), so maybe I don't really understand the situation as clearly. I'm not sure if he's getting bored of our relationship/making excuses to not talk to me (or has found someone else, which is unlikely in my opinion) or if he's just too stressed out to talk to me. What do you think?
