What's going on?

I started dating this guy in early November last year. Everything was amazing he is/was everything I wanted in a man.

I have emotional issues due to past experiences in life (he know some about) on Sunday just gone we went out for the day together and on the way home I was feeling a bit down and different and he picked up on it asked what was wrong, so I told him that I was just scared this relationship was going to end how my last one did. We spoke about it and I though we were good.

Monday came and he works full time and has recently got a new job. But I've hardly spoken to him since Sunday the odd message here and there (we used to talk all the time before he got this job) so I told him I felt like we hardly spoke and every time I brought up coming to see me he would come up with an reason why he could.

His response was that after work he doesn't want to go anywhere (I understand that) nor does he want to talk to anyone! So I left him be all night last sent a message at 8:10pm and I've still heard nothing. He used to send a morning message.

Am I just being paranoid and worrying about nothing or is he trying to tell me he doesn't want to be with me anymore?

It's only been a couple of months.
It all sounds way too heavy so early on.
He's probably feeling that too and backing away.
Give him space.
See if contacts you.
If not then you have your answer.
Why were you feeling down on Sunday?
Was the day not fun?
I've no idea how your last relationship ended, but telling him basically, he is like your Ex is not a good thing at all.
I'd be backing away too.

I was feeling down just because I have been so over whelmed as I've started uni and started this relationship. Yes I can see why he would feel like I was comparing him to my ex.

Id give him the benefit of the doubt and let him have his space at risk of you coming over too needy or pressurising him. It sounds like you are worrying here without having all the evidence that something is wrong. Time will tell. If he’s here for the long run you will know about it sooner or later. If not, we’ll, its his loss! In the mean time it sounds like you need to work on those issues you have with the worrying and overthinking and getting over past events Flowers

How did the last relationship end? Are you sure you were ready to be dating? It's been 3 months; of course neither of you knows at this stage if it is going to be a three-month fling or a 50-year marriage. You're trying each other out; at this stage (especially if you are student age?) you should just be having fun. Not drama.
