Hopefully the quality won't fade... but that's a different issue. Is there enough "new" in the pipeline to keep us fully engaged? In our case, the answere seems to be yes. I'm sure we'll let you know in 5 or 6 years.
Ozme52, I'm sure with your imagination things will be just as exciting in 5-6 years

I'm frustrated because I don't get to talk to him and he's frustrated because I expect to talk every day (he's NOT at all a "phone person"). I think the thing he still doesn't understand is that I don't want a 2 hour long conversation every day I just want to know that he's ok and I want him to know I miss him just incase he forgot  So i guess really it's about finding the balance of quality and quantity. I think the hardest thing I've gone through is what you're coming to terms with -- the fear of abandonment. The feelings of well I'm invested, is he? What if he decides he doesn't have enough time and I'm the easiest thing to cut out of his life? What if he decides I'm too much to deal with?
His little one, I go back and forth on this, when we do get to spend time together I do feel he is invested, but that feeling fades with every day I don't get to see him, today is a good day got to spend some time with him yesterday, and we did discuss my feelings some, he is very understanding, but still a guy LOL and a very busy one at that, but today I feel that him simply understanding how I feel will help...I hope. Neither of us are much of a phone person, but I would be willing to get over that for a call more often LOL

Definitely quality. I feel his pain. My wife (before she was my wife) could talk for hours on the phone, telling stories of her childhood in excrutiating detail (ha ha).
Captain, what are you saying? you guys don't want to know every detail of our childhood LOL

He and I, accidentally, stumbled across a fun way to do that - it's called "jeanne random thought time" and it's exactly what it sounds like. It's a way to let him see how my mind works, and in return I learn the same from his reactions/comments/additional thoughts.
jeanne, we came up with something like this yesterday, not quite the same, but a story twice a month telling him my thoughts, feelings and fantasies. For me it is not only the communicatiopn that will come from this but it is something I will have to work on in the times that I am missing him, I'm not a story writer at all, so a bit of a challenge for me as well


Thank you all for your input, as I am happy with everything else in the relationship, this is something I want to overcome in order to make it work.
