I sent a long letter to the bf today --- we're going to make time to discuss all my concerns on Thursday night --- so we'll see!

Update ---- bf didn't realize, like on a scale of 1 to 10, how much I was upset about our busy schedules keeping us apart --- He thought I was only a 6 or 7, but I was really a 10!
He's going to make a good effort to write more often --

Also he explained that he gets upset when I call when he's in the middle of something because then he knows he can't talk to me. But he says that now he's just going to say he's unhappy that we can't talk, and not get moody on me.

Lastly he explained that he doesn't keep in contact with old friends because he didn't choose his friends well in the past, and those relationships were in a sense abusive relationships. So that's why I was thinking he was poor at keeping in touch/communicating.

So that's good news, we'll see how he follows through --- thanks everyone! I needed the push to put myself out there again in an assertive way, thanks! I was definitely being too passive, or passive-aggressive!

I'm glad to hear that you were able to clear the air with him. Both of you just remember that with LDRs it is so important to clearly communicate your needs to one another. It's even more important than with normal relationships to not let things build up.

Best of luck to you both! :)

I read this thread with much interest. I am still in the "new" stage of my ldr. We've known each other from the internet for a little while, but have only been a together a couple months. It is scary to me that things could someday fizzle out if communication becomes a problem. I'm very happy to hear that you are working things out and hope that everything is okay! :)
