HELP- I need some input

Let’s back up to 2013, my now partner (32M) and I (30F) spent four years together and had a little girl before separating. Fast forward to April of 2024, very quickly and very suddenly we decided to give things a second go, clean slate. I have absolutely zero complaints this time around aside from the fact that lately I’ve noticed his communication with me through text has changed significantly in comparison to how he usually would speak to me through text.

He leaves early for work, but I would always wake up too a good morning beautiful or how are you doing today gorgeous, every text he sent he’d refer to me as babe or baby but recently that’s changed.

Now, rarely does he say any of these things to me anymore, unless I mention it.

I get that they’re just text messages and that these texts don’t define us or our relationship. It’s the sudden change and wanting to know why it’s stopped.

I’ve mentioned this sudden change to him a few times. I even told him I miss getting those type of messages and that they always made me feel good. They even gave me this sense of security that made me feel like he still wants me and is just as attracted to me now as he was the day we got back together .

His response (little all three times I’ve tried mentioning it) - (massive eye roll) I don’t have time during the day, you’re dramatic, I’ll try to remember to “through” the extra word in there when I text if it makes you feel better

But that’s not what I want. I know I'm beautiful & I don't need someone to tell me that in order to feel beautiful. It just used to make me extra happy and it doesn't happen anymore. I want to know why the sudden change? Why all of a sudden did it stop? And if you have the time to text me during the day (which I don’t expect at all, he’s at work) then how do you not have the time to throw in a “babe” or “beautiful” like you use to?

He's the only man I want to hear I'm beautiful from and he doesn't seem to want to say it or worse maybe he doesn't feel that way anymore 💔

Just to clarify, he only started doing this through text… When we are at home together things are different. At home, he gives me the attention, shows me affection, makes me feel wanted. But during the day, when we’re both at work, communicating through text, I feel like I’m talking to a friend.

I don’t want to bring it up again because I don’t want him to feel like I’m trying to be up his ass about it, I also feel like I shouldn’t have to be made to feel like I’m asking to much when really A simple reason would be sufficient… I just want to know why the change?

So… am I over thinking this? Or would any of you be thinking there’s something else going on?
