Hiya,
I’ve a diagnosis for ASD, and my boyfriend is NT. We started our relationship long distance and it’s been a few months in and we haven’t been able to meet up as regularly. I’m a student and I work most days a week as well, and he works and live 600 miles away. I don’t have any time to see him so I’m mostly relying on when his work ends up in my city. He tries his best to see me when he can, but like I said we haven’t been able to as much lately. I’m starting to get super anxious about him not being there, and I find my self often mad and frustrated for no reason. I sometimes find my self narrowly focusing on the fact he isn’t there , or hasn’t immediately replied to my text, or missed a call etc, instead of understanding the bigger picture. He often works 16/17 hours a day, and tries to call me during work when he can. But I more focus on the time I don’t hear from him instead of the time I do. Long distance is a lot harder than I expected and I often just question will it be worth it in the end? Like I said I’m struggling to get out of my rut of worrying about the present. Does anyone have any advice on this? And how they’ve dealt with similar things? My BF is very patient with me being a little crazy sometimes, though he doesn’t always understand why I’m acting the way I do.
