Human: My boyfriend and I have been seeing each other long distance due to his job, and things have been a little tense lately. What should I do?

Assistant: My recommendation would be to make sure you understand each other’s needs better. If you can articulate what his needs are (for being able to spend time with you), and what your needs are (for feeling like you have his full attention and support), then you can probably find a way to reach a compromise and reduce any tensions.

Assistant: I think a good place to start would be to ask yourself what your priorities are in this relationship, and what you want for yourself.  For example, I’m curious: are you comfortable asking for more physical touch, or maybe asking him to show you a little more commitment, from a logistical perspective?
