Hi I'm new to this forum, but I need some support from people going through the same thing.
I met my boyfriend while studying abroad in Italy (I know total cliché). He's still there and I'm back in the states. The last time I saw him was beginning of June and the next time he says he'll visit is October. We started fast, which might've been the first mistake, but I've never been happier than being with him. That being said, he works at a club so his work starts when my day begins because of the time difference. The not talking has been hard, but knowing I'll be with him eventually makes it ok. However, recently our conversations mostly just feel like they're out of habit, and we usually FaceTime once a week but its been a few weeks since our last face time. I tried talking to him today, but he got really upset about me not being understanding of his work schedule. I just wanted to see his face for a few minutes while he was at home. He also hasn't been talking to me about things going on with him, and it's really hard for me to open up with him and communicate when I feel like he just keeps everything inside. I feel like im always the one trying to reach out or talk, but also the only one who brings up anything thats concerning. I love him so much, but I just feel really alone, not only physically but in this relationship. I dont know what to do. He said he can FaceTime in a few days, but I dont want the time we have to be about me being sad in the relationship, because im worried that my own insecurities will just talk this relationship into demise. Help me please.
