My man and I have been dating for the past 5 months. We see each other on average about 4 times a month and usually talk through text every day. The problem is that he does not like to talk on the phone and whenever he calls me he always seems to cut it short because he has to do something even though we are in mid conversation and there is so much more to say. I feel like because of this it is hard for me to really get close to him and know him inside and out consistently. I understand everyone gets busy and I do as well but there are little times throughout the day where phone calls can be made. This past week he got a promotion at work and I have known that he would be starting his new position this week for a while but his texts have been fewer and he hasn't been calling at all when he says he would. I have been feeling terrible about it and I'm scared that the spark is dying between us. I am not sure as to take his new absences as a sign that this is heading south or know that certain things occur that make communication harder. I did talk to him yesterday via text but he didn't call me after work yesterday. This is the 2nd time this week this happened and it's frustrating. Up til the past 2weeks I have always been so secure with him and how he feels about me but now I feel like he is distancing away.
Is this acceptable normal behavior for long distance relationships? What is going on? Any advice on what I should do? I really care about this guy.
Also on a side note. 2 months into our relationship we were talking about the distance and how it sucks via text. and he joked saying that I should move near him. I joked back and then he said that he is a firm believer of people not moving for love. I was curious to know why and he said he would tell me later but I haven't asked yet. That statement weighs heavy on my mind now because I am thinking that this can be all for nothing. I don't want a LDR for life. So what's the point? I think he could change that mentality but who knowssss
