(I'll be using the term boyfriend throughout this post because I'm not really sure what the status of our relationship is at the moment).

I've been dating my boyfriend for almost a year now. It's been a generally pleasant relationship, but I'm not really sure we have a future together. We used to have a lot of fun, and there was a time where I thought maybe I loved him, but things have changed.

He took on a second job, and I started fall classes. He lives about 90 minutes away in another state, so it's already difficult to set time aside to see each other. Now, I spend most of my time off studying or sleeping. I don't really have the motivation or time for a relationship. I told my boyfriend this about a week or two ago, and while he was initially upset, he said he'd wait things out.

I don't really want to wait things out. I like him, I care about him, and I do enjoy his company...I just don't have the strong romantic feelings that I used to. Traveling out to see him takes a good chunk of time, and because of our schedules, we usually only get to hang out late at night when we're both exhausted. We don't really go out or spend time with his friends anymore. We just grab food at the store, turn on the tv, and go to sleep.

What do I do? I've explicitly said that now is not a good time for me to be in a relationship, that I'd like to be alone, and yet we're still not really broken up. I don't want things to be ugly, and I'd still like to hang out on occasion, but I just don't have the energy to treat him like I should at this point in time.
