My boyfriend and I have been together almost a year now, we're long distance as I'm down south and he's up north. We were seeing each other every 2 weeks for a long weekend plus at other times too when we could. It might sound silly to say but he's the absolute love of my life.
We haven't seen each other for 8 weeks, obviously because of lockdown, and I'm finding I'm now really really struggling with this. We speak every night and watch stuff together, we also text a lot, but I'm finding it increasingly more difficult as time goes on, I miss him very much, but I feel so disconnected and sad without any physical contact, we're both tactile people and i miss cuddles and kisses and spending physical time with him. I also worry this time apart will become so normal that we'll stop missing each other, and wonder what another 8 weeks apart will bring for us a couple.
There isn't really anything anyone can do or say but I was wondering if anyone else is feeling similar?
