*please no mean replies*
I'm in a long distance relationship and I love my boyfriend so much. However I've recently been finding the whole distance thing is making me so anxious. We only speak by text (I've asked to skype him since he moved but he never suggests it and I don't want to feel like I'm pushing the matter). I have anxiety and it's made worse by my constant checking my phone to see if he's replied. Sending too many snapchats, feeling sad when he opens them and doesn't respond. He's far more nonchalant and doesn't always reply, and when he does it's after a few hours. It's nothing personal, it's just how he is. I'm much more highly strung.
Am I too dependent on him? How do I stop being so? Honestly I've tried being relaxed about it but I just feel like I'm driving forward every conversation because I want to talk to him, but it's so draining (I think for both of us, otherwise he would make more of an effort).
He's the most amazing person; so understanding of how I am. However I can't force him to change. I just had a big meltdown because I hate being so high maintenance and I'm wondering if taking a break would make it better? What should I do?
