Communication Advice
Post Body

My Sir and I have been in a LDR for coming up to two months now. We've got great chemistry, and up until a couple weeks ago our communication was 4 hours a day cumulative video chat, plus either voice notes or texting the rest of the time. Lately, that hasn't been the case. It's cut down to maybe a total of two hours a day of chatting, all forms inclusive in this time frame.

There are valid reasons as to why the communication has taken a turn (family issues, work getting busier, a couple personal hobbies kicking into gear) so I'm not in any way angry about it. Any time he's apologized for having to hang up due to him being at work, I make sure to point out that he's not doing anything wrong by going and doing his job. As needy of a sub as I am, I'm not unreasonable & I have always had the ability to recognize the need for personal lives to take priority.

He's incredibly easy going & understanding. I just happen to have a slew of insecurities & usually jump to the conclusion that I've done something wrong. Which I haven't, because he's had to tell me every day for the last week, and he's understandably a little done with constantly having to tell me. He knew going into this dynamic that I'm needy & he's never made it an issue. Even now, he isn't MAKING it an issue. I'm just struggling.

My question is, what's the tactful way to let him know that I need more attention than I'm getting withOUT making him feel guilty that life is just doing its thing? OR.. is this even something I need to communicate given I realize that this is just how life is?

Thank you in advance xx
