My Girlfriend Is Acting Distant - Is She Cheating? (Video)

If your girlfriend is acting distant, does that mean she’s cheating, or even that she’s planning to break up with you? 

Here’s a scenario… 

Your girlfriend goes off for the weekend to celebrate her birthday
but does not invite you, and she was extra nice to you the week before
she left - unnaturally nice. This by itself is enough to raise some red
flags, but what if she stops returning your calls and text messages
while she’s away? Now that’s enough to drive most men crazy!

There are two possibilities here…

Most likely, she did hook up with someone else while she was away. That’s why she suddenly stopped responding - she doesn’t want the new guy to think he’s unimportant.

The second possibility is that for some reason or other, she’s
intentionally putting distance between you. Maybe she’s thinking of
breaking up or maybe it’s just moving too fast for her. Maybe she just needs some space.

Either way, this isn’t looking so good for you.

So what can you do?

First, be honest with her and let her know that her recent behavior
hurt your feelings and that you feel neglected. It’s very important to
be honest, but NOT judgemental or accusing. You need to create an
environment where she feels safe being honest with you. That is if you
REALLY do want the truth…

And when she does tell you the truth, be supportive and
understanding - even if what she says makes you angry. Face it - you
cannot control how she feels or what she does. Read that again. You
cannot control how she feels or what she does. The only thing in this
life that any of us can really control is our actions and our emotional
responses to others’ actions. Period.

So take a deep breath and tell her how you feel.

Here’s a question from Ty in Nebraska who is facing this troubling issue right now.

Dear Dan and Jennifer,

Yeah so my girlfriend had her birth this weekend and I have been
having issues not trusting her lately for some reason or and other.
Well she went out of town back home for her birthday and she didn’t
invite me! She has been real lovely talking to me lately like she is
trying to cover up something it seems. Well I talked to her yesterday
afternoon at about 2:30 and she said she would call me back so i waited
it out all night and I texted her about 9:30 and never heard from her
and then texted her happy b-day at 12:00 am this morning wishing her
happy b-day and no hear back from her!

This is totally not like her because she is a text message freak and
she has been calling me like crazy the last couple of days! I am
starting to wonder if is being unfaithful or just ignoring me or what’s
up I don’t know how to confront her on her birthday? I need to say
something because it really is bothering me big time!

Lets hear back soon.
Thanks, Tyler
