long distance relationship advice

Hi, I’m wondering if I’m over reacting or just need general advice please don’t be to harsh. 😅 my boyfriend and I are currently going back into long distance as he goes back to college which is a transition but we’ve gone through it before. He has always been short and very dry but incredibly affectionate and loving in person whereas I’m the opposite sometimes.

Tonight he just sent me a simple good night which is very unlike him usually for that he’ll send me emoji’s and say I love you, whatever. Well I asked him if something was wrong and he’s like it’s not that deep I said good night and I responded back, I get that but I’m not going to see you for x amount of days a somewhat loving goodnight would be nice 😅 because in text like I’ve said he’s very short and dry so the only sort of real ‘love’ I get in messages is my goodnight message. Then after that he’s like ok I love you goodnight and I was still slightly upset and he was just like what part of goodnight do you not understand.

I know while I’m typing this I totally seem like I was being dramatic and to a degree I definitely was, but how can I get use to this? I use to have no issue with his dry messages but lately it has been bugging me beyond belief to the point where I wonder if he only likes me while we’re in person together? What can I do to ease my worries and not be so hypersensitive when we’re apart? This was all over the place and didn’t have a ton of background but any advice on how to overcome hardships in LDR would be completely helpful. 😅

* I’ve also communicated this to him on many occasions and he acts like he understands then things will just go right back to how they were before. I’m to the point where I think the only thing I can do is message like him and ignore him in a sense but that seems so petty. I also don’t want to just breakup because in person everything is completely fine and good it’s just when we’re apart the communication barrier is terrible no matter how many times I’ve expressed my concerns. 😕
