Dear nancy8:

You are in a long distance relationship, correct?

“that person is struggling with the circumstances and the best way for them is to not speak or they get frustrated”- can you tell me what specifically he or she is struggling with?

And why did he or she gets frustrated when speaking with you?

I am asking because without answers I don’t know specifically your situation, not all relationship during a pandemic suffer the exact same way.

I understand you feeling “really sad and undervalued”. I wonder how that person valued you before the pandemic… I wonder how long this relationship has  been going on, if it was always long distance, if you have plans to see each other, or to have a life together?

(I will be back to your thread to check if you answered me in about 12 hours from now).
