Is my ldr ruined?
Before anything I just want to apologize for my bad English and grammar as it is self taught. Also all of this is a LDR
I'm f 24 (from Asia) , my bf M26( from Europe)
For context, I met JIm (not his real name obviously) around the end of 2025. When we met he told me about his partner dying from childbirth complications and how he's trying to be better for his kid since he's now a single dad. We started off as friends with benefits ( I was recently out of my serious 3 years relationship with my first ever bf ) so I figured sure, I mean he's a single dad surely he's wiser than others.
Fast forward a few months later his 'gf' texted me out of nowhere and there was a huge drama, turns out he lied about it all, he cheated on his then gf with me and his baby mama was alive... But the miscarriage was a real thing but with his then gf.
Anyways after that we cut off contact cold turkey, I had to attend therapy for a few months straight and stayed away from men in general cuz I feel grossed out by what I've done (unknowingly)
Anyways fast forwards he went to rehab, fixed himself with his issues and then he reached out and we started talking again. The first few months were somewhat better, he was honest and he apologized for what happened and has been honest with me ever since(this when we started dating) , his bad habits of disappearing for a few days still come back here and there but I decided to just let it slide after a lil talk, no one is perfect right?
This keeps happening back and forth for a year now and it was draining but I've come to terms with the fact that this is how he is when things get tough and I should love my partners even with flaws and all. I've grown attached to my boyfriend despite his issues, I mean sure he mishandles money and often goes missing for a few days but like I said no one is perfect right ? Maybe I'm okay with it because he said that this is very normal in a relationship.
But I also think I'm not the best partner for him too , sure I support him financially and emotionally and even sexually, but I do have my flaws, I'm very clingy and constantly want to hang out with him or text him silly stuff and memes, and I guess maybe that's very annoying for him. I draw us all the time whenever I miss him and I write him poems (not the best but they rhyme ?) it's not 24/7 but just maybe once a day?...like possible 2 h a day to just hang out and talk? And maybe do stuff together. . .
We fell into a cycle of "things were good, and then he randomly disappeared and I panicked" . This happened in the past before we started dating, which I shrug off as him being busy with his kid. But we already learned that he was with his gf back then .....
Ever since he came back this thought hardly haunts me but recently it made my skin shivers and my blood boils with anxiety, he's been hot and cold since the beginning of this month and as of now it's been 15 days of this, he said it's his family issues and one of his parents is sick however I constantly see him online playing vrchat... Aka the game he cheated on his girlfriend with... So now my brain is jumping into millions of conclusions and I feel like I'm going insane, I've been trying to call him and text him asking begging him for love and affections and maybe some reassurance but every time he replies or texts back it's always because he doesn't have enough money for basic stuff and everytime I helped out he would dissapeared again... I asked him if we're still together and nothing... And 2 days ago when he did reply to ask for more money(not directly) he said he was still my boyfriend. It made me happy but as you can tell, stone cold turkey yet again. I tried texting and calling him on discord and telegram but nothing!!! And yes he's still active on that fuck ass game.
Btw if I didn't pick up his call or answer his text when hes upset he'll distract himself or act cold or lash out on me, but he always apologizes afterward and I'd be okay with it cuz he said it's normal for a couple to argue.
Am I overreacting by freaking out and sending him messages and crying begging for him to reply and give me reassurance during this time? I feel like I'm overacting by being upset and needy and wanting things between us to be okay when he's struggling with the possibility of losing one of his parents, but I don't understand how he can be active and socialize on a game without even thinking of me .
I don't want to give up on him as I still deeply love him but I feel like this is driving me crazy
This is all I could remember for now but I will add more edits for updates. Thank you so much for reading all of this.
