I'm 50 and split from my ex almost 2 years ago after a particularly horrid betrayal. I think I'm over him though and have been involved with a lovely new man for just over 3 months. He's told me he loves me and I have very strong feelings for him and feel we have a future together - he asked me yesterday what I was doing on New Year's Eve because he wants to plan a trip to Paris.
I find it hard to relax though because I have an overwhelming need to be in some form of daily contact with him - it doesn't have to be a phone call, just a quick text will do. Usually he will contact me but there are some days now when he doesn't and it completely does my head in. I feel very needy about this but can't deny my feelings. I don't really doubt his love so why is it so important? I spoke with him last night for over an hour and it was lovely but now I'm feeling very anxious because I haven't heard from him all day and would love to text him but I'm the one who inititated the phone call last night. I only see him once a fortnight because he lives over 200 miles away and we both have kids so the distance probably has something to do with my need for reassurance. I know this probably all sounds pathetic but I really could do with some advice! Do I say something to him or will that send him running for the hills!

Is it needy to want daily contact when involved with someone?
