How do I tell my girlfriend I feel ignored?
So we’ve been together about 5 months and it’s my first real relationship with a girl. Honestly it’s been amazing, like I never knew I could feel this close to someone but lately she’s been super distant. She’s always on her phone when we’re hanging out and when I try to talk she just says “mmhmm” without even looking up. Like last night I told her about this dumb fight I had with my mom and she didn’t even pause her show just kept watching and said “that sucks” like she wasn’t really hearing me at all. I don’t even know if I’m overreacting but it hurts you know. I keep thinking maybe she’s losing interest or I’m doing something wrong. We used to text all day and now sometimes she doesn’t reply for hours and when I ask if everything’s ok she says yeah just busy. I don’t wanna be that clingy partner but I also feel like I’m talking to myself half the time. I told a friend and she said maybe it’s a red flag especially since she used to be so into me. I don’t want this to turn into one of those toxic situations where I’m always chasing but I also don’t want to mess up something good. How do I bring this up without sounding whiny or starting a fight
