I hate for my first post outside of the introductions to be a complaint; I really do have a wonderful, wonderful sweetheart. There's one thing he's been doing that I wouldn't mind a little advice on though, here goes-
My boyfriend and I have been in a LDR for seven months. Generally, it's been okay. We both miss each other tons and we talk everyday. We don't fight too much, either. And we've both got quite a bit of free time to spend with each other. But, he refuses to write me a letter. I know it sounds petty, but he always says he will, and he never does. I send him a letter, a care package, etc. around once or twice a month. I've been asking for a letter for at least six months.
I confronted him about it a week or so ago, and he said that he didn't see the point in writing one. He told me he was a physical kind of person (which is true) and it was hard for him to write something when he didn't have me there. I explained that he had been promising for six months, and if he wasn't going to do it, fine. It hurt when he said he would never write me a letter. He asked me why it meant so much. I told him I wanted a love letter because he doesn't ever say thank you for any of the pictures, packages or emails I send him, and I just wanted something back.
We'll have been together a full year in mid-April, I'm kind of hoping he'll put in the effort to send me a letter, just because he knows it means a lot to me. I don't know if I should believe in that, though.
He's very sweet when we're on the phone, he'll talk for hours if we can. And I love him. But I really, really wish he'd send me that letter. Is there anything I can do to get him to write one, or at least understand where I'm coming from?
Thanks,
Lauren
