I recently stayed with my long distance partner for a week at his home. We are 3 hours apart on the UK. We usually take turns, as he can often attend meetings online. He teaches at a university and his term doesn't properly start until November.
Admittedly, I have more flexibility overall to work remotely.
He also will come to me for a weekend or previously has fit his visits in a way where he then leaves for meetings.
Talking about when we'd next see each other I said will you come to visit me next this month and he said 'sorry I can't, I have meetings'. But it's an entire month and this was the end of the explanation?
The idea then was we'd meet in the middle at a city for a weekend but now it looks far too expensive, i'd expect him to make an effort
