Distance is often difficult for people in relationships. Think about long distance relationships: the first thing people say about them most of the time is how hard they are. Support each other in whatever way you can. And remind each other that it’s okay if you’re both frustrated with the distance right now or feeling out of sync with each other. Things can improve again once this is over. In the meantime, this is a great opportunity to improve communication. Talk about the needs you both have and which of them aren’t being met. Brainstorm how you can change that or at least provide compassion and understanding for each other about those unmet needs for the time being.

Im so late to this but I go to college in a different state while my boyfriend works in our hometown. We are a bit used to the distance but its still hard. Distance really does make the heart grow fonder and we always said that the day we got to see each other again would make all the waiting worth it. The best thing we ever did was schedule calls. We would both be busy during the day so at 9pm we facetime and play games on our phones (imessage games) with each other and talk about our days. Communication can be be hard but as long as you make time to talk to each other and try and find little things to do together, like Netflix party mode or playing games and talking, you will be just fine! At the end of the day if you have real feelings for someone you can get through times like this together! and its okay to question things or overthink and worry so long as you’re communicating that. I have thoughts like that all the time but my boyfriend knows how my brain works and he can help give a little extra reassurance. So just be open and talk about your thoughts good or bad!

It’s normal ❤️ my partner and I haven’t seen each other for months bc of this and we fought a lot more at the start too. It’s harder to feel affection when you can’t touch/kiss/etc. Do you ever feel scared that quarantine is gonna make you fall out of love? That’s my fear. Stay strong, and remember that this will pass and we will all find relief someday if we stick through it!

is it normal to feel somewhat disconnected from your partner when you’re away from them and you’re having ROCD thoughts?

Someone please help. So ive been in my relationship for 6 years and now I don't have the love feelings that you have in the honeymoon phase, I just feel comfortable, safe, and normal around him. because of this, my mind thinks that something is wrong in my relationship and that I need to break up even though I heard that this is completely normal and healthy in a long term relationship. I want to know of any tips to help me cope with this or tips on how to get some feelings back. I feel like my medications and the pandemic have something to do with it as well cause we mainly just lay in bed all day together or go to the store when we see each other so maybe I gotten used to a routine and may be bored and need to spice things up. I just need some advice because I honestly have no idea if what I'm going through is supposed to happen in long term relationships cause this is the only relationship that I've been in. He's amazing and I always talk to him when I am happy, sad, or annoyed. He always tries to cheer me up and always says how he wants to marry me. I really don't want to lose an amazing guy and I feel bad that I'm doing something wrong. :(

is this normal?
Hello, im Non binary [They/Them] and my boyfriend [I will call him V] goes by He/Him ❤️ ive never been diagnosed with OCD, but ive done my research and it makes the most sense with what i feel Ok, so im a young adult and so is my boyfriend. the only types of relationships ive been in are either abusive, toxic, or where im very anxious all of the time. With my boyfriend now, we have argued like every couple does, but i dont feel those anxious things i did with my ex, and it makes me anxious i dont love him somehow. i dont feel that heavy feeling in my chest or that feeling i got in my head when i think of my boyfriend V. i know i love V, but i get scared that since i dont get those intense feelings, that i dont. i get this soft feeling instead with him, and feel this calmness im not used to. is this normal? of course he makes me blush too, giggle, etc. but i still get scared i dont love him somehow. please help 🙏 sometimes these thoughts escalate, and it makes me really upset bc i really love my boyfriend, and want us to last a really long time (we've known eachother 8 years, but started dating almost a year ago) bc he makes me so happy, but im scared. ive started to say "If i dont love him, ill fall back in love with him. if i do love him, my love for him will continue to grow" but even that makes me anxious. im scared and love my boyfriend so much, but dont want it to be fake and hurt his feelings. is this normal?
