Staying in a relationship or letting go?
Hi,
I would just like to get some advice of what I should do with my current relationship. My partner and I have been together for almost 7 years but this is the first time we’ve been long distance.
Even before we were physically separated, we’ve always had issue about him not putting enough effort in the relationship but I’ve always stayed because I do love him. He’s emotionally unavailable and always thinks logically. He doesn’t have any history of infidelity and I do truly trust him in that part.
But now that we’re long distance, it’s just been very hard communicating with him in terms of our feelings and our future. Whenever I try to bring up what I am feeling towards his actions, or lack thereof, he just stops talking to me unless I change the subject.
He keeps saying he’s busy. I understand that since he has two jobs and managing a business, but sometimes, I just want him to be there for me and I am not getting that.
I honestly dont know what to do. I love him and we’ve invested a lot of years together. I dont know if I am overreacting or overthinking all of it. It’s reached a point where I dont know if he’s just waiting for me to break up with him so that he could move forward. Do you have any advice for me?

Relationships are not really judged by time if you are unhappy.
We stay thinking we have invested in this but investments are made and changed as different things come up. It is hard to stay with a person who does not share on an emotional level worse when it is long distance.... how sad to even imagine..... you holding on and him holding on waiting for you to have enough. find time and find a way to settle it not wait and see ... Some of us have done that and i cannot tell you how many times i wish i had left it is a sad way to live.
