Another Long Distance Question...
I apologize for yet another one of these, and it may seem somewhat repetitive to my last, but I don't have anyone else to talk to about this.
Does anyone know the progression of long distance relationships well, and what is normal for them? I mean, my boyfriend used to call me all the time (like 4 times a day), but now he usually only calls once. I know 4 times in one day may seem like a lot, but I liked it. It made me smile to know that he was thinking about me. He also used to send me little text messages with a <3 or something, just to show he cared. Those have also all but stopped. So, we talk on the phone, but we don't really say much. A couple funny stories about things that happened in our day, maybe some plans for meeting, and some humming. He's mentioned that he "doesn't have anything to say." It's like we've out-talked ourselves. Also, just for reference, we said I love you to each other pretty early on (like 2 months in - it's now been about 4 months), and we don't do that nearly as much anymore. Is it possible that we subconciously realized that things were moving too quickly and that we needed to slow down, or what? I don't know.
I really do care about him and when we're together, we have no trouble talking and have a wonderful time. I feel like he cares about me so much more when we're together than he does when we're apart. I suppose this is just one of the hardships of long-distance relationships.
