I am currently in a long-distance relationship with my girlfriend, and initially, everything was going exceptionally well last year. I was receiving a lot of love and attention; she used to call and text me frequently. However, after she began her job as a Pharmacist at the hospital, I anticipated she might leave her position at the private business, but she decided to continue working there and now has afternoon shifts as a part time job there. So she works two jobs. I dont want her to stop growing and I respect her for it, but I knew she would have less time for me.
I acknowledge that she is making an effort, but I've noticed a decline in her responses, and she rarely initiates calls anymore. I find myself reaching out more than she does, and this has been going on for the past four months. It's disheartening because I sense a growing emotional distance. I hesitate to bring it up as I know it affects her when I do.
I genuinely want our relationship to succeed, but I'm at a loss for what to do. I am planning to visit her for her birthday on February 2nd, but I feel a noticeable change on her end, which is causing me emotional distress. Reddit, I need guidance. I love her deeply, but I am uncertain about how to navigate this situation.
Tldr; I 22M Need advice on the way forward with my relationship with my gf 24F. How do I navigate this?
