Long distance relationship

[Anonymous]

This is my first time in a long distance relationship. We are both late 30s and divorced and have known each other casually for years. We’re able to see each other about every 2 weeks and when we’re together, everything is great!

I’m an over thinker (and I’m trying really hard to work on that) and in between seeing each other, we talk most days. Some days/weeks he is really into it and others it just feels like he’s not feeling it.

I know communication is key here but I don’t want to always be asking, “are things good here?” Looking for a little advice on how to handle long distance relationships and how do you over thinkers handle situations like these?

I have been in one for eight years, and now we are married. Just roll with it. As you grow closer, the concern will dissipate. If it doesn’t, that is a sign that you should walk away.

Instead of wondering “is everything good here?” about him, ask that question of yourself. Is the relationship meeting YOUR needs? Make sure you have a lot going on in your own life so that you really believe you’ll be okay if it doesn’t work out. I definitely wouldn’t be continuously asking him if things are okay.

But I guess you just have to give it time and see how things evolve. It might just be that he’s not a phone person, or he’s really tired after work, or whatever. How long have you been together?
