About Melissa Burton (a.k.a Bee) Expertise I have been in plenty of long distance relationships before and I know for a fact that they do take lots of hard work and dedication. I can help with making a relationship strong enough to last even through distance, breaking up long distance, not knowing what to do when things get hard, dealing with heart break, starting to like someone else even though you are in a relationship long distance, etc. If you need advice I`m here to help and if you just need someone to talk to then I`ll be glad to listen.
Experience I have been in long distance relationships before and some have worked and some
have not. I know plenty of people who are in the same type of relationships as these.
Question Hey Bee,
I recently reconnected with my ex after not speaking for 7 years. The emotions are so strong that it feels like we were never apart. We picked up right where we left off. The relationship was long distance back then, but with our situations at the time we saw each other often enough. Currently our schedules don't allow us to get together as much as I would like. We talk on the phone for hours daily. He tells me he misses me, but doesn't seem bothered by not seeing me. It's been 6 weeks since his last visit and he refuses to book a date for our next rendezvous. Should I press the issue or work on my patience?

Answer Hello
I think at this point you guys need to discuss how often you guys should plan to see each other. I'm sure if he does care for you that he does miss you and want to see you, but perhaps in his mind, there is a limit on how often you guys should see each other and he doesn't want to push that. I think you guys should communicate on how often you guys will plan to see each other. Ask him when he plans to book the next meeting and how frequently these meetings will occur, so that way you have a better understanding of his thoughts on actually seeing you and his expectations. I think you should be patient till the end of this month. If he still hasn't mentioned when the next visit will be in a couple more weeks, then go right ahead and ask him. You deserve to know what's going on and should not be left in the darkness about this situation. Good luck!
Melissa
