Akinlolu :
Hi guys,
I am currently in a long-distance relationship, and please note that I am not “COMPLAINING.” I am just seeking more advice on how to be better at it.
My girlfriend and I exhibit all the things you’ve highlighted—accountability, gifting in little ways, transparency, etc. Our communication is also very good. However, recently, I have started to notice that she seems to see communication as a one-man thing.
I started feeling she feels like it is my duty to check up on her first thing in the morning and be the last person to check up on her at night. Of course, I don’t mind doing that, but recently, I feel like she has started to take advantage of it.
For example, I hate it when I can’t reach her, and after several unanswered calls, she simply comes back and texts, “I missed your call,” without even returning any of the missed calls.
Sometimes, she might say, “I’ll call you back,” but she never does until nightfall.
What can I do about this?
