I feel like I'm forgetting my boyfriend in a long distance relationship?

[Anonymous]

We've been dating for 5 month now and have been in a long distance for 3 months. We still have one month to go. We both love each other incredibly and I want to be with him and no once else. But it seems like now when we Skype, I look at him and it feels strange to think that we are dating. Like I have to ask myself who this person is, and how I don't really know him now. He hasn't changed, but I just feel like I'm forgetting him. Like I said, I don't want to be with anyone else, but I finding myself not wanting to talk to him as much because it just reminds me of how difficult this all is and how it would be easier to just not talk until we can see each other again... Any suggestions?

Having been through this on a even larger scale I can tell you, that's normal. But no reason to give up. What helps is to not talk every single day. So it doesn't become a boring routine. Set times when you really have time and make it like a date. That way you have something to look forward to. And stories to tell. Then the excitement returns and it doesn't feel like a duty anymore. The most common mistake people make in a situation like that is giving up their entire social life. And that's unhealthy.

nobody said a long distance relationship is easy, but it can work as long as you really care and you have loyalty towards him..make an effort to talk but not too much..your having a hard time because you don't spend that much time together but for me if I was in that situation..i should be contented and be excited when I see that person again
