My boyfriend and I have been dating for almost two months now. At the beginning of the month I still lived close to him but the I moved and now we live about 90minutes apart. All of a sudden it's like I don't care about our relationship, and it's not that he did anything it just I don't. When he sent me a picture the other day i didn't find him attractive, I actually thought he looked really ugly and kinda creepy. I don't know why, it went from me liking him to not liking him. His a great person. Maybe it's because I haven't seen him since i moved, little more than a week. Or maybe I just don't like him. The other day when we where talking about our relationship, I had the opportunity to break up with him, but I didn't but I don't feel like I like him or even find him attractive and I just don't know why I didn't break with him or why I still haven't. I'm very confused and don't know what to do. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks for reading.

You haven't broken up with him because you are still confused about why you don't like him anymore, and you are probably reluctant to end a relationship without a strong motive. I think in this case the attraction just fizzled out.
It could be that the move has given you physical distance, and the level of attraction doesn't equal the effort it will take to keep a relationship going. Or the physical distance has allowed the excitement of seeing him all the time to wear off. Or the move has nothing to do with it and whether you moved or not, the initial attraction was going to fizzle out after two months anyway. The reasons are really endless, but it doesn't change the fact that you don't care about the relationship and aren't attracted to him anymore.
He's a nice guy, so you don't want to hurt his feelings, but it's crueler to keep him locked in a relationship you don't want. You're going to have to break up with him, and soon. Honesty is the best policy, but be gentle with his feelings and firm about the breakup. Don't lead him on, make the break up finite. Tell him the feelings you had when you first started dating are no longer there, and you have no desire to continue the relationship.
