Hi,
This is my first post. I have been with my SO for over two years, living together. He moved for work, right now, for one year. We do not know what will happen after that, or where he will end up (this makes planning a future impossible). I have a 10 year old, so things are more complicated. Not his son, but they get along very well. We have been apart for travel for up to a month several times, but it has never been like this. I have also been through a previous LDR (international) back before the email days (my ex of many years), so I vaguely remember how it went.
My SO is working 80-90 hours per week and sleeping mostly. He calls daily, but is typically not having much to say, understandably. We try and video chat when our schedules meet up, but it is rare. I think I am ruining things right now, I am so sensitive to everything he says, and I tend to read into...well, as silly as it may sound, what he DOESN'T say! I have been reading the advice you post and truly appreciate it. It can be a struggle as I can't say that my SO is the most romantic or sensitive man, so doesn't typically like to "say the right things" just to say them
I wish it was as easy as packing it up and moving as everyone suggests (bet none of you have heard that one, right?).
Nice to meet you all.
