My boyfriend and I have been together for over 5 years. We currently live an hour and a half apart. This isn’t ideal, but it is what is at the moment. I usually stay with him 4 nights a week, F-Su and typically Wednesday. I’m hoping to move in with him within the next six months.

That being said long distance is hard and occasionally I become super insecure of myself and our relationship. I think it’s all in my head as we just spent a wonderful weekend together at our cabin.

It also might be bc this time of year is usually a hard time for my boyfriend and in the past, he has put distance between us unknowingly. He just goes into a weird funk at the end of summer.

Especially right now, his behavior could be considered understandable because his dad has stage four cancer and we are waiting to hear back if it has spread to his brain. It’s just all around a shitty time.

I don’t want to be a burden, and bother him. I just want someone to remind me that I’m just in my head too much and everything will be fine in the morning since I’m at home and he is out with his buddies at the bar. Obviously, he isn’t on his phone and I don’t expect him to be. But at the same time part of me freaks out that something is wrong. But it’s just in my head. I don’t know why I get so worked up from time to time.
