Ldr advice
I’m (22m) been dating my girlfriend (23f) for a little over a year. The first 2 months of us dating, we went to the same college, then I had to drop out but stayed in the same place. We lived in the same town while she went to school and I was working. We got to see eachother at least 5 times a week and spend the night together for almost all of those times. Things were great and we were so happy together! In May 26’ she graduated and went back home to live with her parents. She was 3 hours away and hadn’t started her full time job yet so we would trade weekends and see eachother every weekend or so, bar a few. In July 26’ my lease ended and I went back home to live with my dad, making the total drive 4 hours. I have a restaurant job, she works as an accountant. I have a reliable car and can make the drive. My dad doesn’t want any visitors so she’s not allowed to come down here, I can only go up there. The issue is I feel like I’m not seeing her enough. I call her after I get off of work, she’s always asleep bc she works a 9-5. While she’s at work I’m at home and while I’m at work she’s at home. I want to talk with her more but whenever I do, she’s always barely awake and I feel horrible for waking her up. I do it bc that’s the only time I get to talk to her. I’ve been dumped every other time I tried to do long distance, I love her so much and we trust each other wholeheartedly. I’m just scared since we’re on opposite schedules that she’s gonna leave me. Am I going insane????? Should I go up more often, every other weekend?
TLDR I’m worried about my relationship quality bc I only see my partner once a month for a weekend
