Decisions and Power Struggle

Throughout the course of the class, I've always thought my boyfriend and I have had a pretty healthy relationship. Lately, however, I have become uncomfortable with the fact that we are in a long distance relationship. I worry about other girls and that the long periods of time between visits will cause him to forget or move on with out me. I didn't realize until today that I had been keeping track of the effort each of us makes toward the relationship. Now I see how this is negatively effectiving my relationship. I recent past conversations on the phone with my boyfriend, I would get defensive easily and would constantly question him and his motives. Today, however I was able to relax and just update him on my life, hear about his and laugh. it was great to just enjoy each other, even from a great distance. I see now that communication in relationships can always be improved and that i need to be more aware of my reactions and feelings and make sure express them in an effective manner.
