I live in the same town as my bf, but he travels so much from work, we might as well have a long distance relationship. Early, on, he said he didn't feel connected to me after a long trip to Europe. Then, he told me that he was lying to himself, that it wasn't me or our connection, he was scared to work so hard to make this work, and that he felt out of control of things. We work on it all the time. All I know is, we love each other, and we're clinging to that and trying to make the rest of it work out for us. I feel your pain.
