I separated from my wife several months ago after a long period of a pretty shit marriage, at the beginning of this year i got together with someone i have known for some time, we've got on great, spent lots of time together and exchanged 100s of texts. We went into lockdown on tuesday (not together), and since then i've felt her attitude towards me change, texts were shorter, more blunt, now she's hardly replying at all. Cant go and see because of the lockdown. I'm literally going around the twist trying to work it out, and figure out what i've done. I'm like a lovesick teenager, not a 52 year old. She herself has had a couple of bad relationships and marriage, and she has trust issues, i've tried to reassure her i'm not like that, and have made every effort to demonstrate this, buying her little presents regularly, being positive with her, telling her how she makes me smile. i just cant get my head around why she's now gone so cold on me.

You can either leave it and see if she makes first contact ect, or you can ask her.

Has she got kids at home/ caring responsibilities or job worries due to the pandemic?

It might be that she just has a great deal on her plate but as Persia says, you will either need to ask her (i would call or facetime, not text), or wait and see.

Not really her son is 20, and ok. She's self employed like me, it is difficult at the moment, but i've told her a few times i'm here for her and will help her with any problems.

Yes common sense says leave it, but its pulling me to pieces. i've tried to call her 3 times today, no answer. I know this says it all, but it hurts.
