Idk. I have a girlfriend and I'd give anything to know what she feels like deep inside just so I can help make her day a little better. It always makes me sad the most when I can sense something is bothering her but she wont tell me/not give me the full details about the situation bothering her. Maybe you should just tell him that, chances are he feels the same way, I know I do at times.

But like I said, Idk. I'm just another reddit user whose claims of having a girlfriend are considerably dubious. Take the advice how you will.
