[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 735735, member: 1550"] Look, that six hours a day or even two is crazy. It's not you, it's her. If she has littles why isn't she tending to them? The past time I could probably talk on the phone three hours was in high school high school, if I liked a boy. Wish she is neglecting her life and needing constant company, which doesn't make you inferior. You are an adult. Yes, it is draining to talk to anyone that long every day. That's six straight hours of nomstop chat. It's tiring even three hours every day. For most people. I suggest either setting a 1/2 hour limit whether she gets upset or not. You would not be being mean, but helping her realize she needs other ways to fill her social needs. It's sad she needs to do this, but you can't fix her. That much talking on the phone with you means she is not interacting with her kids and spouse if she has one. its not fair of her to take up so much of your time or to take herself emotionally away from her her young children and othef loved ones. Maybe she is sub conscoiosly hiding from them. If she won't accept, say, three days a week, 1/2 an hour then maybe she will choose to leave your long distance relationship. And it would be her choice. Reasonable adults don't want to talk on the phone that much. It's crazy. It's not you, it's her. You don't even have to answer the phone if you don't feel like talking. A real friends is somebody you can see in.person and share good times with. You can't do.this with this woman who is so far away. Take care of yourself. You are not inadequate. You are normal. Hugs!
