This video actually made me sad. My ex boyfriend and I did long distance for a few years and a lot of the times when he was away he would prioritize himself and his needs over the relationship. I on the other hand would set aside time for him and on some days the call or text would never come. Don't get me wrong I had a full life here but it did not mean I didn't prioritize the relationship. A call a day is definitely not too much to expect. Looking back I realized that someone who truly loved me would have not put me through all that sadness because they were too "busy." Having said that, sometimes people deserve a second chance and Raina, I implore you to do better. And Seb, don't ever set the bar so low that you deny yourself the basic minimum in a relationship. Good luck to the both of you and hope it all works out.
The discovery and reconciliation of CPTSD is the hardest yet most beautiful process … The pain is real but the healing is too!

Thanks for sharing! It’s really brave to be so open and honest about the challenges of a long-distance relationship.
Have you/ would you ever consider couples therapy?
