Thread: Does this happen to you? Is it healthy in relationships?

Okay, so last night my boyfriend (we've been together six months) was in a sour mood. He had kind of been down in the dumps all day, but said he had a headache so I assumed that's all it was and gave him time to feel better. About the time when he got frustrated with his homework assignment, he asked me to take him home. He still had time to hang out with me but was choosing to leave. This naturally made me feel like he could have some reason for being upset with me. As we talked and discussed his temperment and his stresses, he looked at me and asked me, "Do you feel we need a break?"

Without hesitation, I said no because that was the last thing on my mind. I was confused why he even asked because the last two weeks had been awesome between him and I. Although the question had been focused on me, the way he said it made me feel like it was something he felt, or else why would he even think it?

We're fine now, and I think he's back on track to feeling better.

As I look back on last night, I guess I can understand what he might have been feeling when he said that. I have had my moments where I was in doubt and asking myself the same thing.

Let me remind you, we've been together six months and we plan on moving in together in the next two weeks. (I think this might be a contributing factor to any doubt he might have had.) My questions are: is it normal to question your relationship and think twice about it sometimes? Is it healthy to feel doubt? Does it happen to you? Do you think this causes insecurities in the relationship and weakens it?

I love him and really am looking forward to spending the coming years with him, and have even daydreamt marriage. I worry his doubt (and mine too) could weaken us as a couple.
