Dear MIMsters: Did I Make A Mistake By Taking Our Relationship To The Next Level?

Did I make a mistake by taking our relationship to the next level.

I’m a 29 years old lady in a relationship now for 3 years with an old friend of mine. He’s not based in the country because he is presently running his PhD program. I can say that he was my best friend because I shared every experience I had concerning my previous relationship with him and he did the same during during our friendship days.

He was heartbroken by his ex-girlfriend last year. During his stay at home, we talk every day, hung out and had lots of fun. The problem now is, since he returned to his base two months ago, our conversation is no longer the same. At first, I thought it was because of his busy schedule, but during our friendship days we were chatting almost every day.

If I don’t start a conversation, which might even take him the whole day to reply too, he won’t chat me up or call me. I raised the issue with him last week and he apologized, telling me he didn’t want to get too attached to me like he did with his ex. I told him that he was breaking my own heart by doing that and he sincerely apologized to me.

However, since last week, I have not seen much changes in him. It seems I’m losing my best friend at the moment. Did I make a mistake by agreeing to take our friendship to the next level? I’m seriously hurting and I need advice from both men and women on this platform.
