Hi Caitlyn,

You are both pretty young and generally happy – it sounds, but you need more frequent communication than he does. If this is a good summary, have a talk and express that your feelings and needs.

I recall being your age and going all day without talking. It was not a problem. I had a co-worker – his girlfriend called him hourly at work. Either approach works.

Today, with smartphones and other services, we can be in touch constantly, or sometimes, or turn them off.

Even with these communication tools, we need good old eye-to-eye conversation to communicate on issues. This may be uncomfortable, and you may not agree on everything, but you do need to talk and work things out.
