My boyfriend and I have been together for about a year. I recently moved a few states away to attend school, and he's back home. We agreed to have a long-distance relationship until we're at the point to live together again. I am completely in love with him and the thought of losing him breaks my heart. When I first moved, we were fine for a few weeks, but the past couple weeks he has been bad with communication. I should start by saying that he isn't one to sit on his phone all of the time anyway, but it hurts me that I feel as though I am constantly trying to communicate with him and do nice things for him and he gives a minimum effort in return. I know that he's stressed about work and his living situation back home, and he tends to draw back when frustrated, but it's really concerning to me. I wish that he would communicate with me more - and I've made this clear to him several times, to which he gives excuses for why he hasn't talked to me much. I don't know what to do, I just think that in a long-distance relationship communication is key, and it hurts to feel as though I'm the only one who still cares enough to try to make it last. Need advice for what I can do to fix the situation.
