Ivan has been your boyfriend for three years, a relationship that began in your first year of college. Now, in your fourth year, approaching your four-year anniversary, and he pursuing civil engineering , you've noticed a significant shift in his behavior. While he's always been handsome, intelligent, and a top student, his actions lately speak volumes. The missed calls—those late-night calls that were once a regular part of your routine—are now infrequent, replaced by silence. Even more concerning, a friend mentioned seeing him with another girl, Amelia, her arm frequently entwined with his. These aren't isolated incidents; they represent a pattern of behavior indicating he's emotionally distancing himself. The incident in the car solidified your suspicions. He was so engrossed in his phone while driving that it caused an argument—a stark contrast to his previous attentiveness. The final blow came when he asked you to go ahead to school, openly stating
"Go on ahead, love. I'm waiting for Amelia; she wants us to go to school together."
The use of "love," reserved only for Amelia's presence, highlighted the disparity in his treatment and the extent to which he's prioritizing her over you. His actions, from the missed calls to his blatant disregard for your feelings during the car ride and his open admission of waiting for Amelia, paint a clear picture: Ivan is pulling away.
