How to stop feeling distant/detached from LDR boyfriend after an argument?

[Anonymous]

So we’re currently in a LDR bc he has to be away for work. We had an argument and now I think we both kind off distanced ourselves from each other (usually we always meet up after an argument to properly make up). We’ve made up but it’s all been online, won’t get the chance to see each other until next week where I’ll be coming over to visit. I feel like I need some space away from him but at the same time we are already miles apart lol So how do I gain back the feeling of closeness? Thanks!

I'm assuming you already video chat If you don't it would probably help to actually see his face. Bring up the good times in the past, not discuss the argument

We haven’t actually, we haven’t even talked on the phone. We’ve only been texting but it feels distant, I kinda don’t want to talk to him on facetime yet tho lol is that bad? Maybe I’ll try calling him later… he’s sharing a room with another guy from work so it’s gonna be kinda awkward

Is your long-distance boyfriend, you've never chatted on the phone and you've never done a video call. Both of you need to put some effort into this relationship if you wanted to work yeah maybe you should actually hear his voice. You can actually have a real conversation not waiting 5 minutes for a response via text.

We’re only long distance for a month, it’s been a week but we’ve only been texting lol we’re not too big on calling/facetiming but I will definitely give him a call today. Thanks a bunch for the advice!
