What do you think - relationship advice needed?

This is going to be long, so my apologies to begin with. My boyfriend and I have been dating for a little over 2 years. We live together, have a dog, and have in recent months very seriously talked about getting married. I mean he brought it up, he's the one who said seriously that he wanted to marry me. I was apprehensvie for a lot of reasons. I'm 23 and he's 22. In my opinion we are both to young and he agrees so this would be in the next few years, which is completely fine with me. Anyway, this past summer he had an internship that took him about 6 hours away. Our relationship actually was the best it had been in a long time. I visited him a few times and he came to see me. We talked all the time and I felt like our relationship had gotten to a new level, more mature. Everything finally felt completely right. Not that it hadn't been good before, but we had had our rough patches, which i normal for every relationship. Anyway, it's been about a month and a half since he's been back. I've noticed that he seems to be distancing himself. I feel like I'm bugging him for any kind of affection. He doesn't really kiss me passionately unless I initiate it, even then it doesn't last long. While he was away and I'd come and visit him, he was so clingy...in a good way. I didn't feel like I was being clingy for a change. I didn't doubt that our love was strong and that he would do just about anything for me. Now it just feels different. I should also note that he is still in college, this is his last year, and he just got a full time job offer from the company was interning with this past summer. I've talked to him about my concerns and he agrees that he knows he is distancing himself. He doesn't know whats wrong with him, but he's just been in a funk. I asked if it was me, if he wanted to be single or with someone else. He said no, but he had thought about how it would be different to be single, not that he wanted to. I guess I'm just concerned if he's really just out of sorts now, he does have a lot on his plate, or do you think he's questioning if he wants to be in this relationship long term. From what you've read what do you think? He even asked me if I would regret being with him if we got married in the long term because he is my first boyfriend. I told him that of course I had thought about what I'd be giving up, but I've always felt that I am suppose to be in this relationship. I have a strong faith in God and let him guide me on entering this relationship. Honestly I wasn't even attracted to him, but something kept drawing me in. Then finally I just said, alright God, I'll give this ago. It turned out to be one of the greatest acts of faith that I've ever done. I think my bf is afraid to jump, to act on faith. But I don't know. Anyway, I'm really rambling now, hopefully you can just give me your opinion on the matter. If you think it's nothing, could you suggest a way to improve his mood...something nice I could do for him? ThanksWhat do you think - relationship advice needed?
It seems that he is no longer that in to you. It may hurt and you may deny it, but sometimes distance causes people to lose feelings they may have had as they get distracted by new opportunities and temptations. We may at first be in denial of this sort of things, but life throws these trials at us to make us stronger. We usually think that the person we are in a relationship with now is the one who we will end up with in the end, and sometimes we settle on it and try to make it last even if deep down we long for someone better.





You mention your strong faith in god, this will help you through the tough times ahead. But always remember, this is your life. God will only guide you, but the decisions are yours to make.





You are very young, take time to enjoy your life. Do the things that you need to do for yourself. Travel, establish a career, things will be different when your married.








Just my humble opinion =)What do you think - relationship advice needed?
Seriously.





He's probably subconsciously sabotaging the relationship because if you break up with him it makes his options so much clearer. He doesn't want to leave you but he wants the job.





Plus... Your first boyfriend and you expect you're going to marry him? Honey, you're going to be drawn to alot of guys. That's not god, that's hormones.
