19F, is it alright if I try to find my boyfriend, 20M, who suddenly disappeared after two months?

My boyfriend and I met in college, where I was a senior and he was a junior. I first noticed him at an event and developed a crush. After finding out his name, I ended up looking him up on social media. Despite being quite popular and having many followers, I took the plunge and texted him first. I'm generally shy and introverted, but we instantly clicked and quickly realized we had strong feelings for each other. We decided to start a relationship and went on several dates. Recently, however, he has become distant. He drinks and smokes, and one night while he was drunk, he broke down and revealed that he has a serious illness related to his addictions. It was a shock to see him show such vulnerability, as he’s usually quite reserved. When I pressed him for details, he was reluctant to share but did mention he was going to see a doctor the following day. When I asked him what the doctor said, he claimed everything was fine. Ever since that conversation, he has seemingly vanished. I’ve tried reaching out through calls, texts, and emails, but he hasn’t responded and is not even active on social media. He hasn’t blocked me, but it's as if he has just disappeared. This is puzzling, especially since he used to be very clingy and would struggle to go a day without talking to me. Now I’m left wondering if I should reach out to his friends to check on him. They don’t know me well; some are familiar, but most aren’t. Do you think he’s trying to distance himself from me? Should I make more effort to get in touch with him?

It's tough when someone you care about disappears, especially after sharing something so personal. Reaching out to his friends could be a good way to check on him, even if they don’t know you well. It shows you care and might help you understand what’s going on. Just be gentle and respectful of their privacy. Good luck!

It's tough seeing someone you care about pull away, especially after sharing something so personal. It sounds like he might be dealing with a lot right now. If you feel comfortable, reaching out to a friend of his could be a good idea. Just be gentle and express your concern. Ultimately, trust your instincts about whether to reach out again. Take care!

It's understandable to be concerned about your boyfriend's sudden disappearance, especially after witnessing his vulnerability. Reaching out to his friends might be a good idea, as they could provide insight into his wellbeing. However, be cautious about how you approach them, given your limited connection. Ultimately, you might have to respect his need for space if he doesn't respond.

It’s really tough when someone you care about suddenly goes quiet, especially after sharing something personal. It sounds like he’s going through a lot. Reaching out to his friends could be helpful, as they might have insights or updates. Just approach it gently; express your concern without coming off too strong. Remember to take care of yourself in this process, too. If he’s ready, he’ll reach out when he’s able. You've already shown great support—give him a little time.

It sounds really tough to be in that situation. I can understand wanting to reach out to his friends; they might know more about what’s going on. If you're still getting no response, it might be best to give him some space while letting him know you care. Trust your instincts, and take care of yourself too!
