Question - (28 February 2017) 2 Answers - (Newest, 10 March 2017)
A female United Kingdom age 22-25, anonymous writes:

Hello there!

My LDR bf and I are usually quite close, and we try to text each other at least once - even if it is just a "Good Morning" message - but recently, I've noticed a change. We've been going out for quite a while now, and we keep either Saturdays or Sundays as our weekly "date" day.

Recently, He's been so loaded with work he's barely had time to talk, and I understand that so I don't bug him to talk or force him to spend time with me when he needs to concentrate on work. He's a year older than me so he's busier than I am anyways.

I also worry that the time he does spend with me will affect his sleep. He is three hours ahead and the last time I asked him when he was going to sleep, his reply was "When you do"... As much as I love knowing he cares and all, I really wish he would get rest instead of staying p.

I have tried to tell him this - I practically force him to go sleep when I know it's really late for him - but still he continues.

Sometimes, rarely rather, when we do find the time to talk, it's mostly just roleplay (The cute cuddly kind). As much as I like doing that with him, it seems as if that's all he ever wants to do, whereas I want to know what's been going on in his life - information that normally his cousin tells me when I ask about my bf's whereabouts!

I really miss him, especially now because of there people around me who have hurt me so much. My question is, is it wrong and selfish? And how do I tell him that I miss him?

I would really like advice on this... Thank you for your time!

aunt honesty agony auntYou are much to young to be in a long distance relationship. It is hard for married couples who have lived together for years to do this, so it is even harder at your age. How well do you know your boyfriend? Do you meet up with him every weekend or is this an online relationship?

Denizen agony auntIt is difficult to keep a long distance relationship going. You look to him for support because of the people who: 'People around me who have hurt me so much'.

I think you must fill your life with different activities: hobbies, pursuits, exercise. In that way you bring new conversation to your chats while you are apart.

There is a temptation to try and prove how loving you are by more and more expressions of love an faithfulness. This ultimately doesn't work.
