hi,
glad to see you at PC.
while there are many things to occupy us at different phases of life, a move, college, kids, work, etc. . . . if we are lucky enough to have a loved one in our life, we should work very hard to maintain that closeness.
at times it's harder than others. my relationship is long distance - so for me it is very important than my bf realizes i NEED to hear from him in some format, (a phone call, texts, and/or email) every day.
some days i know he is so tired from work, and maybe his kids are over and he is just wanting a hot tub and bed lol
but he makes an effort to send me a note, telling me he loves me, at the very least.
i would suggest it is a good idea to share w/your gf your feelings about a long distance relationship - even if only temporary b/c of her college studies.
and explain to her that you need a regular type of contact with her because you love her, you need her, you want to know she is ok. . . . each and every day.
even a brief text, email or a 5 minute call - is better than nothing and puts your fears to rest.
frankly - if she is not willing to be in touch with you at least briefly each day - that will say she is not interested in meeting your needs
always a red flag, in a relationship
no one is perfect - but think of it, if you DO love someone - you do WANT to meet as many of their needs as you can.
what is 5 minutes a day, sending an email that says "i love you". ?
i am wishing you the best
for me, direct honest communication works the best.
pm if you want to talk (hug)
