    One thing I think is super important is to remember not to compare the relationship to what it was at the beginning.
    Like when you felt so close, so compatible, and so happy...
    I think we tend to think that the relationship should always be like that...
    I know you've been through a lot of relationships, and studied this stuff in philosophy, but It's like you can't help but wonder if something is wrong with the relationship when you aren't as happy as you were, and things are different...
    (stupid Media)
    SO eve though it's the change that's made you uneasy, it's not really good to look back and think, oh he's changed, oh I've changed.... oh our relationship is different now is that good or bad.
    All that matters is can you be happy with this person? Is your day better because he's there? Is he the person you want to talk to about everything? And... do you like the person who he is now...
    It sounds cheesy.... But if the person he is now is a person who can still make you happy, then this is just a rough patch, and you can work through it.
    It took me forever to figure all of this out... even though mentally I knew that relationships change, and the initial feelings of closeness always go away... It's different when you go through it.
    But one thing I don't think you will ever regret is trying to make it work. Give it a little more time, and see if the changes, make him into a little bit different but still lovable/loving person.
    But one thing I really think you shouldn't do, is compromise your happiness (Not to sound like doctor Phil...). So if you try and get past your fears about him being obsessed with facebook and all of these changes, but you are still uncomfortable, and still unhappy, than it's ok to let the relationship go.
    So give it time, and really try. That way you will have no regrets.
    -M
