My boyfriend seems to think I distance myself from him and am acting flaky. He gets panicky whenever I get distracted and dont talk to him for a while, or talk to him exactly when I say I will. I feel it's not good for his heart as he has a heart condition. I also feel like its a bit smothering. How do I get him to relax a bit and find a way us to find a happy medium for communication?

I feel we will be better when he flies over here and we don't have a 6 hour time difference it'll be easier.

When is he coming? I know you have alot going on with your family situation right now

Can you just try to assure him that right now you are under alot of stress and your not ignoring his needs and wants but that you just are overwhelmed at the moment??

I like Christina's suggestion. It's awful feeling pressured to be in close touch all the time when you're busy or overwhelmed or what have you. ((((Hugs))))

Remind him that you are dealing with issue with your parents and it’s tough as you live at home. Tell him you need his support with it.

He gets panicky whether or not you take a while to talk to him or talk to him exactly as planned?

He needs to learn to trust you. You are going through a thing right now, and need his support, not his distrust.
