Seth and I knew each other about a month before we realized we liked each other and then another month before that "hey i like you, oh you like me? great! lets date!" awkward talk. Two months later, our relationship turned into a LDR. In two days, it's going to be our 4 month anniversary. Woo! However, I'm not very happy. See, I live in Germany right now and will be there for another year and he's in South Carolina. Yeah, that's a 6 hr time difference! What's worse is that I work days and he works swing shifts, which means when I'm getting up, he's going to bed and when I get off work, he's going to work! It's just not cool. But we are devoted to each other. Well, I am. I don't know where he is sometimes. Nm, I know he is too. Anyway, Last week I was on vacation and distracted from how much I miss him and since I was so exhausted from walking around and all the stuff, I barely noticed that I hadn't talked to him much last week. Yet I still made the effort to get the hotel's wifi and send him a msg about how my day went. He's on vacation now, visiting his family, and now he doesn't have time for me. The situation's reversed and now that I want to talk to him, he's not available. I know this is going to happen but this is officially the longest we've gone without seeing each other's face. On Skype of course! I miss him so much! And he doesn't understand that I crave his attention and that he would completely turn my day around if he would just tell me how his day is going on a msg on FB or SOMETHING!
I mean, knowing him, he won't see it as a big deal. He's not as emotional as I am. I know he's commitment phobic. He's only called me his girl friend once and hasn't told his parents yet. I told my mom about him before we even started dating! Now, don't get me wrong. Like any girl, I have my PMS psycho moments and this might just be that. However. I need to find a way to keep the desperation out of my actions before I scare him again. Kinda holding on too tight and he'll slip away, but hold him gently and he'll never let go? something like that.
He's 21, and he's had a serious relationship before and it ended badly for him. I know I have to tread carefully not to scare him, but sometimes its a little ridiculous! I mean, c'mon! I'm a woman with my own needs and they are not satisfied. True, certain ones won't be and that's okay. I just miss being with him! touching him, holding hands, kissing, hugging! Just being in the same room would be nice! I even miss the smell of his chewing tobacco and I've been dogging him ever since I met him that he needs to quit!
The fact is that I love him and I want to be with him. And he's not cooperating with my wants right now.

#1mllebamako commentedOctober 25, 2010, 01:03 AMEditing a commentDo you tell him about your emotional needs? Even if HE doesn't need those kind of small reaching outs like a message or a quick skype call...he needs to know that YOU do. We all have our own ways of understanding that we are loved and you should communicate to him what your ways are.

#3Silviar commentedOctober 25, 2010, 04:28 PMEditing a commentLDR's are about balancing each other's needs. He needs to know what you need, even if he doesn't want to particularly give it. We each make compromises for our partners in order to keep the relationship happy.
