Why does my boyfriend always fall asleep on the phone with me and not making enough time for me?

First I'd like to clarify my boyfriend and I have been in a long distant relationship for 3 years now. Were great together but I get mad when I'm talking and he starts dosing off I personally can't work do to medical reasons. His day starts at 5am and doesn't end till 11pm we go to bed together talking till 11. He works a physically hard job in yhe heat and is attending online college I know he's busy and he does try to talk when we can but it annoys me that mid convo he does off or forgets what we were talking about.

What do you means.. You can't work for medical reasons?

And this poor dude is still with you working 5am - 11pm? And you asking why he is exhausted?

You want to be critical of him? Are you kidding? The guy is a SAINT , and much more understanding than someone like me , that question is CRAZY.

Why do people always complain about their partner no matter HOW sweet their partner is?

It's sweet to chat with a guy till you're ready to fall asleep. You don't offer that time to just anyone. It's special.

Asker is making his being tired seem like it's a personal attack on her lol

My boyfriend and I used to fall asleep on the phone if he was traveling and called to share his day with me and hear how I was doing… We’d chat till one/both of us were sleepy but still reluctant to hang up. It was sweet in my opinion.

Ah, the classic tale of love across the miles, mixed with the snoozy challenge of time zone tango. First off, let's give props to both of you for keeping the flames of love burning bright for three whole years from a distance! That's no easy feat, and it sounds like your man is juggling a circus with work, school, and fighting the sandman to keep the convo going with you.

It's clear you're feeling a bit neglected, even though deep down, you know he's stretching himself thinner than a slice of prosciutto to make things work. The thing is, falling asleep mid-convo isn't a red flag; it’s a white flag of surrender – his body waving it high after a long day’s battle.

Consider this: maybe tweak the schedule a tad? A little adjustment so that your catch-up time isn't when he's got one foot in dreamland. Could you have a text marathon instead, or set a specific "date time" that works for both? It's all about finding that sweet spot where love, understanding, and practicality meet for a cozy cuddle. This way, he won't be battling the Sandman while trying to remember the latest plot twist in your favorite show. High five for patience and flexibility; they can turn LDR glitches into moments of giggles. Keep the love and understanding flowing, and watch your bond grow even stronger.

LDRs don't work.

Live and learn.
