my partner and I have been seeing each other for the past 4 months, we're fairly young (23 and 26) and we are long-distance, but planning to close the distance in 2 years (he's planning to move back to our home town, even before meeting me).
the problem I have is, I miss him more than he misses me, we haven't face timed in 3 days, and I've been going crazy while he doesn't seem bothered at all, I know it seems stupid but to me, if I can't see him for months on end, the least we can do is facetime nightly.
We get along very well, have amazing chemistry, and can talk about anything without feeling uneasy, I can see him in my life for a very long time hopefully and he told me he feels the same.
but I feel like I care more than he does, I leave nights out early so I can call him before he goes to bed, I take work breaks often so I can text him, I send him pics of things that remind me of him daily, and I take notes of everything he says he likes or doesn't like so I make him feel comfortable, but he just doesn't.
it feels like he just calls me and remembers me when it's convenient, he doesn't make time for me.
I wonder if I'm too invested or if he's just not that invested, if I'm being too much or if he's just not putting enough effort into our connection.
I once read that a guy not doing enough of the right things is as valid of a reason to leave as a guy being abusive or controlling and it stuck with me.
now I can't decide if I should give it a chance, wait until he visits me which is in 2 months or so, or if I should not waste more time on this relationship since I could be out meeting someone who gives me the princess treatment I dream of, who reciprocates my energy.
any insight is greatly appreciated.
