Actually you and i know that this poor boy is speculating on his
own relationship.
He himself is unsure of many things, yet do not know or want to
confront the matter. He feels unwanted yet he doesn't know how to
put it across.
If the root problem is insecurity, then say.
If it's attention, say
If it's not enough time spent, say and try to work things
out.
He is expecting something and making himself
miserable by not saying it. His expectations are killing him, not
her.
She might have felt self sufficent. Or many things tied up in her
life. Or she might have double life.
We are also speculating....and we shouldn't.
Cheers
