"I feel too stunned and weirded out about it"

It can feel awkward to be in a relationship with someone who travels a lot for work, whether they are your spouse, a domestic partner, or someone you are courting. Fortunately, there is a benefit to dating someone who travels for work that is sometimes overlooked and that is the allure of spending beautiful, alone time together while still being alone.

Even if your partner is going on a vacation, it doesn't mean they have to leave you out. Whether they are hundreds of miles away or only a few hours away, staying in touch doesn't have to feel like a bother.

Since we live in a technological age, you can choose how much or how little connection you want to have. You both can talk over the phone every day, or two to three times a week, depending on how long the vacation would take.

You can even set up a video chat time if you find phone conversations to be too impersonal. Having those calls without any pressure is the nicest part but we see a different case in today's story.

OP's girlfriend ignored his calls for days after she went on vacation and only sent him like two pictures. She literally wrote to the OP that she was on vacation and didn't want to talk or deal with anything until she came home.

The OP feels too stunned and weirded out about it, so he would like to hear other people's opinions.

OP writes

OP's girlfriend didn't want to talk or deal with anything

And the comments from other Redditors roll in...

OP's feelings of anger and disappointment are completely valid

This Redditor doesn't see how she could do that

Who says his own GF can't text while she's on a vacation?

Chances are she had time for her phone

Later on, the OP left this edit to update Redditors

We had a heart to heart conversation, the only reason we didn't cry was because we were in public. It was tough but had a lot of unsaid that slowly poisoned our couple. For now we are still together, both trying with more communication.

She was pissed because I didn't have enough time to do couple things due to my bad working schedule. I was pissed because I felt like I had to make all the decisions like where do we go, when, for how long, and she was always like "sure we can do that" with no more input.

If it doesn't work, we will go in our separate ways in a few months.

They been together for over a year

Any chance she's cheating?

A pretty good indicator

A normal amount of communication is expected

They will have to address it

If you don't text frequently, only communicate when you're both at home or spend time catching up and talking at the end of the day rather than in the morning, you don't have to switch to a new way of communicating when you're on a vacation. The worst thing is to shut your partner off just because you're on vacation.

There's no way OP's girlfriend couldn't have had his time if she truly loved him. Drop your own advice for the OP in the comments section below.
