Getting Annoyed

It was hard for me too. But the relationship was really about to fall apart if i couldn't get him to open his stubborn eyes. lol

It sounds like just a rut. It happens, even to CD couples. I would suggest doing some research in advance and creating things to do when skypeing instead of just the regular you do now. Pick a movie and watch it together and talk about the movie. Ask him to do a quiz with you. Create a couples playlist together on youtube for you too to listen to when you are together again, dare I say it , if you are up for it, watch some porn. You get the idea. When you are CD do you just sit in a room together all the time and do nothing but talk? If that was all you could do you would probably get bored of that too. Make plans to do stuff, only you know what he likes.

I agree about the comfortable Skype modde. If he is in that comfortable Skype mode, my SO gets like that, and he is gaming or watching Tv and just likes knowing you are there, well either tell him BRB and go take a long bath or cook a meal or play your own game, but don't just sit there online waiting for him to give you attention. I hate it when the SO is so tired that by the time he Skypes me he is playing a game, while watching a movie and talks one or two word responses while I try to fill the conversation. He did it last night.....after he skyped me!

Me.............You are being quiet
Him.............watching a movie and it was a long day
Me.............Enjoy, I love you.

a few min go by.


Him...............don't leave me
Me..............If I talk and you don't want to hear it then I am just annoying you and wasting my time
Him.............You are not annoying me.

about this time I started to play one of my games, after a few min he started talking more until he said goodnight and went to bed. He knows it bothers me when he acts like that and I have actually told him I would rather say goodnight if he is otherwise occupied and prefer not to be Skypeing. I used to sit online and push off my CD world to be available for him while he hardly talked and it both ticked me off and hurt my feelings. I won't do that anymore, I don't wish to feel taken for granted and that is what that does.

I would do and have done the same exact thing. Sometimes if my boyfriend doesn't want to talk, I just learn to accept that and say "Ok babe, you sound like your busy/tired so I'll talk to you later". I don't say it like I'm angry because I'm not, and I know when he has time he will talk to me. Your boyfriend obviously cares for you because if he didn't he wouldn't be in a LDR right? I agree with everyone, maybe its just a rut. Both of you will back off from each other, come back together and everything will probably be great ;-)
