Hi guys,

I'm in a long distance relationship (we all know how hard those can be) but we've been making it work. Recently, I feel like my SO has lost care and interest in me. Whenever we talk he says he hasn't and he still loves me and he's just tired from work because he does work all day. I know this is true, i believe him 100% but these past few days have been harsh. He only responds with a one worded text and if not no text at all and i know these are bad signs. I've already prepared myself for what might happen in the future but for right now i just need ways to show him how much i care about him so he might see how much he means to me

As someone who is also in a long distance relationship, I can understand how hard it can be to maintain it. It definitely sounds like you love your partner a lot. Is it possible to have a visit either him you or you him? Sometimes plans like that can have a nice spark.

Hey there, hopefully you are doing well. Theres a few things i would like to point out;

I'm in a long distance relationship (we all know how hard those can be) but we've been making it work. Recently, I feel like my SO has lost care and interest in me. (Its very important to pay close attention to this, your gut feeling is telling you something) Whenever we talk he says he hasn't and he still loves me and he's just tired from work because he does work all day. (As a man I understand the logic behind what he is saying, but he is not properly listening to you by using a logic and reason. You are coming from an emotional standpoint which is "I feel you are not showing me enough of your presence" while he comes from a logic reason standpoint which is "Im tired from work", this is going to make you feel like he doesn't care and then you will begin back away because he is not making you feel heard and understood) I know this is true, i believe him 100% (I believe what you are saying, but he is not using proper communication with you) but these past few days have been harsh. He only responds with a one worded text and if not no text at all and i know these are bad signs. (This tells me you are probably coming across as eager and anxious. He is feeling smothered at the moment, in cases like stopping all forward movement its the best choice) I've already prepared myself for what might happen in the future but for right now i just need ways to show him how much i care about him so he might see how much he means to me. (If you try to show how much you care then its going to push him away. You are planning on doing more in an attempt to pull him closer to you, but you will cause more harm if you don't back away)

@tallNickel7562 Chapman that is People react to different things and you need to figure out what it is. Maybe removing the distance for a while might help. I only had long distance relationships, it's hard and so great when you get a chance to be together
