My partner and I have been together for 4 years this year and unfortunately lockdown is getting to us, as I'm sure many couples can relate to. We are currently living apart due to work commitments and having a long distance relationship is tough. When we are together in person, things are brilliant and I truly believe I want to be with this guy because of the way he makes me feel etc, however when we are apart he can be pretty cold over text and it's left me wondering sometimes some key things about his character. We are going to be long distance for at least the next 6 months or so which is what worries me.
The big thing I'm struggling with is following an argument, he will often leave me in the dark for days. We are currently in an argument over something small and petty, but as I am usually always the one to diffuse the situation, I refuse to this time. He hasn't spoken to me for 2 days now, at all and I can't carry on with childish behaviour like this. I'm all for having some space, but he could at least communicate that with me instead of leaving me feeling upset and uncertain. I worry that I might be the girl who needs to teach him a lesson so that he becomes better for a future partner, but I had so many hopes and dreams of this working out that the thought of that is horrible.
Do you think it's possible to fix this and what do you suggest I do about our current situation?
Thanks in advance!
