My (25M) gf (25F) doesn't like being on a phone call with me. What can I do?
We've been dating for 5 years. Currently we're 3 years in a long-distance relationship. Since the beginning of our relationship she's been very avoidant of phone calls. She thinks it's unnecessary especially if we don't have big topics to discuss during the call. Things about how our days have been and stuff, she's content with just doing it over texts.
I have to beg for even a phone call with her because I miss her voice. Especially now that we're far apart. Sometimes she'd say yes but the night we planned on having a call she'd come up with excuses. I felt stood up and this really hurts because years ago I confronted her about this same behavior and she apologized, but she's doing it again.
She said she'd rather go out on a date with me than be on a call for hours. But that's rarely possible with our schedules (I'm a teacher in a different state, she's an accountant). She's a sweetheart, she really is. But I feel like she's not always available for me, while I'll always be for her. This is my first real relationship, please offer some insights.
