Ldr - I need help

Issy

Guys I'm in a pickle. I've been in a ldr with a guy I met through a friend for a little under a year. When we first talked I'd just got out of what I've now realised to be a pretty abusive relationship so I was more than happy to never have to worry about being in person (I was too scared) but I've now become more comfortable and am wishing our relationship was face to face. We've never spent more than a week at a time with each other and it was perfect while I was there but we are often more argumentative and just not as loved up while long distance. It's begun to drag me down, I feel lonely and slightly unsatisfied with it but don't want to hurt or lose him. I just don't think I can handle a ldr, does anyone have any advice to make it better?
