I need advice
Relationship Stress / by mimi41

...See more I need advice and to see if I am overthinking or overreacting in my relationship. I have been with my guy for a little over a year, and we have been calling each other babe and baby. Last night, we got into an argument regarding calling me more by my name when he is always saying babe. I asked him to please not call me by my name, as it does not feel personal and loving, and he said that this was my issue and to him it is more personal, as he has called other people babe and noone by my name. I told him it is giving me friends vibes vs us being in a relationship. He said to let it go and continues to call me by my name. We also went on a date over the weekend where he did not show any type of PDA and told me that he does not like PDA and will not change that. I know it seems ridicoulous to by fighting over endearment names but why the sudden shift and every time I ask questions he says that I am causing drama and creating unproductive episodes. Am I overreacting? Or is he trying to pull away emotionally more and more and doesn't know how to break things off? I am big on communication and affection and he isn't. He sent me a message today again with my name and a kiss emoji clearly did not care what I was feeling about calling me by my name. He is 25 years older than me and he says he thinks and do things differently but clearly his behaviors have not worked in the past and it is starting not to work for me either. But again when I bring up my feelings they get dismissed.
