I (30s F) have been with my boyfriend (30s M) for a few years. He recently started a new cycle of TRT and Anavar and his personality has really taken a shift and I'm not sure what to do.
He has done a cycle before but his personality didn't really change last time. This time started out fine but over the last few weeks he is acting like he just wants to be alone and to go to the gym. He has been transparent with telling me how sometimes he feels good and then the next, the smallest thing can make him mad. It has felt like he is shutting me out because he is starting to act like he doesn't even want to talk to me.
I wanted to see if this is "normal" behavior from anyone else who has personally been in a relationship with someone who has done steroids or from someone who has used them as well and have felt like this?
I am trying to educate myself on changes that can happen while taking steroids, but I just genuinely miss spending time with him. I am trying to give him space and be positive, but wasn't sure what else to do.
I am very supportive of him being so driven with the gym and having personal goals for his physique. I am also very into fitness and workout daily, sometime we even go to the gym together. I am not against him using steroids and have no issues with it. I am not trying to be selfish whatsoever, I honestly just miss talking to him and seeing him and just don't know how else to be a good girlfriend right now.
Disclaimer: I am not a needy girlfriend who needs constant communication / validation. We do not live together but would previously spend at least 3-4 days a week together, but now it's hard to see him once a week. We both have busy jobs so used to talk on the phone at least once or twice a day with a few texts in between. Now it is hard to even get one text a day from him. I am also not blowing up his phone because I do not want to annoy him. I just want to know how else I can be supportive even while I miss time with him.
TL;DR: how do I still be a supportive girlfriend with boyfriend isolating from steroid use?
