are incompatible?
i (22M) have been dating this amazing guy (23M) for the past 6 months, it was a blast but i think we have both reached the phase where we're seeing cracks in our relationship.
for context, we are doing 'kinda' long distance. we are an hour apart but because of our work patterns we only see each other once or twice a month.
we are amazing in person, i enjoy every second with him but once we are apart thats where things are not pretty anymore :/
he does not like texting or calling, and he rarely texts or calls first. i personally hate texting and calling too but given our circumstances, id appreciate some constant contact, as i defo miss him a lot.
we had a terrible fight about this recently and it made me realise a few things :
- i need him more than he does, we have different emotinal capacity
- he can go days not talking but i cant. he says he likes in person more
he has also said a few stuff that really left a scar in me. he said i was too much, and he said i am clearly not ok with the distance while he is. he also said i miss him more which is emotionally damaging.
once he said all those things, it made me wonder. maybe we're just not compatible. maybe i just need to date someone closer and thats it
