Relationship Issues/Effort
So this guy I’m dating is 35 and I’m 25. We have similar interests and some friends in common. We’ve been together a little over a year. When the relationship first started we saw each other a lot and hung out. Then he moved in with me and we spend everyday together (unless he was at work or somewhere else)— we obviously took time apart (his for gaming and mine for my hobbies). He moved out and moved away (15 minutes away) and now I only see him once or twice a week if I’m lucky. I can’t stand it and it really hurts me and makes me feel lonely. He is perfectly fine with video chatting, texting, etc. until we get to see each other, but that’s not enough for me. I need more. I need a physical connection— time spent together. Tonight I told him I was getting off video chat after several hours on it as I have stuff to do and I’m bored of video chatting and not seeing him. He seemed to take offense and said he won’t bother me anymore tonight, but I’m glad I set a boundary and said what I needed in the relationship. This feels like a long distance relationship without it being a long distance and it’s not what I signed up for obviously. I don’t mean to sound ungrateful or come off as rude— I love him, but this isn’t enough effort.
You did right! You stated to him you want more and you are tired of the video chatting etc that’s insane when you guys use to live with one another. Give it till July if he can’t give you want you require then let him go. You don’t settle for anything that you don’t want

Did LDR in the past, fortunately that phase ended in two months. Otherwise it would have been a huge gamble I would be unwilling to pay.
