Yes Audrey exactly, this is a two way process only. He has to adjust as well and you alone aren’t responsible. That’s what an adult relationship is about. If boyfriend is not reliable and really trying as well, then what’s the point?

Regarding switching phone off, okay I admit I used to do that too when um…I felt bad which was in the first 4 months and I had my own issues with appearing clingy in any way.

One thing that helped immensely during this time was being more involved with family and staying on track with routine. Social ties are so helpful in staying sane despite the anxiety.

I hope you figure out a way too and he gives you the time, respect you deserve when you guys aren’t with eachother in person.
