My SO and I have been dating for about 7 month now. We are both in the Navy and he has been on deployment for the last two months now.
We started having communication issues the last few weeks, I feel like the conversations between us are one sided and not frequent enough.
I have expressed my feelings to him a few times now, in different ways, but he says the same thing every time, he thinks I am bashing him, telling him all the things he is doing wrong. I have only been trying to explain to him that I feel sad and I would hope his reaction would be something to make me feel better.
We had a bit of a break through recently and he admitted to me that he thinks he is pulling away from me because he feels when we talk its always negative.
I can understand this I would probably respond the same way, if the situation was reversed. I would like to get out of this funk and be the positive person he loves so that he will feel happy when he talks to me instead of dreading it.
How can I be more positive when I feel so sad that he is gone? Please help I think if I keep up my misery we are going to push each other out of our lives.
