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

Infidelity, Cheating, & Affairs - 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

    OK so how do you approach her if every time you phrase things in terms of identifying your own feelings, she criticizes you for making “everything about you”? I knew a woman who had me walking on eggs all the time - no matter what I said or how I phrased it I was wrong… I guess that sort of answers my own question or does it?

    If you were honestly coming from feelings and not ‘I want’ and ‘I need’, then it sounds like she was just looking for a reason to leave - or maybe she’s just kind of person who is not happy about anything…

    And maybe, she was just not comfortable expressing her own feelings so she criticized you for expressing yours.

    Regardless of her reasons, you should not feel bad for expressing your feelings openly. Find someone who is open enough to listen and share in return.

    Hey Guys!

    It really sounds like Tyler’s girlfriend is probably up to something. From what he describes, shee seems to be acting in a manner which is hiding her “indiscretions”.

    Anyway, I agree with your comments. Regardless of what she’s doing, the fact remains that she is acting a completely disrespectful manner to Tyler. Relationships NEED to be about communication and treating each other in a courteous manner.

    Unfortunately I think she’s probably being immature and doesn’t know how to end it with him.

    I agree with Scott. People will be acting distant if he/she does not love the one any more. This is more possible than cheating. If cheating, maybe still love each other, just need some extra fun. Oh, that’s immoral. I saw a site that dedicated to short-term relationships (casualfriends.com/photo/hotbabe), more and more people like this. Though it maybe cheating, immoral and something like that.
