[quote=Anonymous]I'm in a LTR, we're both in our 40s, divorced, each with kids.  We don't live together.  We see each other on weekends, sometimes during the week, and it's barely enough physical contact from my perspective.  He's a strong introvert, I'm an extrovert.  We both have demanding but flexible, good jobs, and we're both the primary parent to our respective kids.  It's a lot but I seem to find this more manageable.  He's exhausted by it.

We just had a relationship talk after an issue came up.  Overall it went well, up until the end when he said he needs some time alone for his mental health and to process.  This weekend was going to be our first full weekend together in a month, and due to respective schedules, we can't spend a weekend together for several more weeks.  We were going to spend today (Friday) together and he canceled our day and evening plans.  He wants to get together tomorrow (Sat) and we'll now have only one night together.  It's now been weeks since we've been physically intimate.

I'm trying to understand this but it's hurtful.  [/quote]
