Distance is not the worst thing that a relationship can suffer from. It destroys the physical touch in a relationship. But don't expect that your bolster that you hug to sleep or the warm blanket that keeps you warm can suffice the substitution.

Bad communication is the worst thing that can happen in relationship whether you both are together or far apart. You can be looking each other in the eye but if you don't know what the other is thinking about, the relationship is doomed for failure. And when we are far apart, I trust him that even if he doesn't email or call me for 1 or a few days he still loves me; he trusts me and let me date other men but I don't feel like fooling around; and when he goes to another country for another project and has limited internet access and uncontactable by phone, he doesn't come online or sends me an email or calls me, and this is for 1 week or so already. I begin to feel frustrated, annoyed, unloved; I begin to doubt what is the priorities in his heart and if I ever were a priority, and if I am, why doesn't he even want to lift a finger to call me, send me a simple email? Are internet cafes that expensive or to get a phone that difficult in Ger[m]any and can't be done in the weekend? Even if it's that expensive, is money or me more important to him?

I am frightened to know the answer...
