[quote=Anonymous]							I like you op, he’s the one who travels, he’s the one who keeps traveling, if he wants to talk to you, he can come to you. 
For those who think this is heartless, it isn’t. Fitting your life around a partner who isn’t there absolutely sucks, all of the hard work of a relationship none of the pleasures, no cuddling in bed after a day, good bad or indifferent, you can’t cuddle with someone who isn’t there. You also don’t get random tender moments, I can remember coming home being real upset and hurt by something and my husband hugged me and then gave me a nice pair of fuzzy socks. It was so sweet, he was putting away Christmas gifts, he couldn’t undo why I was upset but he could be sweet in a way that he simply wouldn’t have been able to do had he not been physically present.  It’s important to know what you want, op and it sounds like you are reasonable. 
Same for experiences, if I’m in a relationship, we’re doing life together, why would I want to do my own thing and then FaceTime or text. 
And op, you are right, these chats just make you realize that the guy isn’t here. 
I’d decide what you want. I’d probably tell him “Travel all you want, I won’t be in touch with you while you’re gone”. 
Realize that he may not stop traveling, though also realize that you may be providing a perspective he hasn’t heard before. Don’t argue, just state your intent and then do it. [/quote]
