Something just feels a bit off in my relationship and I don't know what.

Which leads to anxiety about anxiety. I just want peace (which is a way of turning the 'struggle switch' on trying to make the feeling go away, not helpful).

I say go with your gut feeling here. Might be the wrong advice though.

Has bar guy started asking how your day was?

I agree, and yeah occasionally he does. It's not a daily non-negotiable thing that he does, whereas it sort of is for me. I've held back a bit though.

He's definitely more attentive in person

Communicating when you don't know what's up is hard but will do somehow. 🫡🫡🫡

It's better to be upfront with someone instead of driving yourself up the wall with "what ifs". If I were in his shoes, I'd want to know what's bothering you and communicate.
