Dang this is a lot harder than I thought it would be
I’ve always done long distance, but I haven’t done long distance with someone on rotation. My boyfriend (28m) is currently on one and he told me it would be difficult but I didn’t understand it would be this difficult.
His shifts are always changing and he’s always exhausted. He does his best to respond when he can.
I do have friends and a life outside of him, but life has been throwing me a lot of curves and I just miss him.
It sucks because this is a lot harder than I thought it would be. I just know that’s not a statement to tell him right now. That statement would stress him out and I don’t want that and he doesn’t need that.
My friends are having a hard time understanding why I can’t express that to him. It’s not that I can never express it. It’s something to express when he comes home and he’s done with his rotation, not in the middle of it.
