C. Grant agony auntIt's sounds like you are quite self-aware. This line is particularly important:

"...i need a lot of hugs cuddles reasuring that things are fine ..."

I would think that what you need would be awfully difficult to get in a LDR. It's not unreasonably to want what you feel you need in a relationship, but it's important to be aware that not everyone is this way. It sounds like you and your guy have different needs and wants from a relationship. It may be that he does love you, and it may be that he is unaccustomed to being treated lovingly. Or it may be that his comfort zone is in being minimalist with affection.

Your concern, that by bringing this up he might be scared off, is valid. There is a subset of men out there who hate to feel smothered. Keep that in mind as you talk to him.

I wouldn't suggest that you just keep quiet -- crying yourself to sleep is hardly the sign of a fulfilling relationship. I would suggest that you ask him what his hopes and needs are -- what does he want from the relationship, where does he see it going, etc. Don't do this in a "we need to talk" format -- that strikes fear into every man's heart. Instead, on one of the occasions where you're together, casually lead the conversation in that direction. Be an attentive listener and don't try to lead the conversation. Be aware that you may not care for what you hear.

Good luck.

VSAddict agony auntI think you're overreacting and you just need to relax. You say he's committed to you and he's trying to keep you happy, so why push it? Just because there are pauses in ur convos on the internet doesn't mean anything bad. It's most likely that he doesn't know what or have anything to say. Sometimes it gets that way after two yrs of being together and you've talked about everything. So stop worrying because he is trying his best to please you and you will push him away if you keep pushing the fact that you're unsatisfied when you're talking online.
