What do you do when you both have lives that are too busy to spend hours in front of a webcam anymore, and you go days without any contact but a few texts here an there, and you talk and feel like strangers on the phone?

How do you re-connect?

A great marriage is not when the "perfect couple" comes together.

It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences.

Ditto. You can make the same mistake when together, too. You'll just have to make time for each other. Re-examine those priorities.

What will you do once you are together? Will you still be this busy? I'm not trying to sound critical, but is there some way you can put aside some of those things that make you both too busy to be with each other? If you can't now, you might not be able to when you're finally together.

it's hard to put aside work....especially when you need it in order to live.

I can sympathize. Work can get crazy sometimes.

But I have to ask, is that the only thing that's keeping you so busy?

If it really is just work, maybe you oughta consider changing how you two communicate. Switch from cam2cam to text msging perhaps?

Perhaps you both can agree on making chat "dates" or a time during everyday that you can talk by phone even if it's for a short while?

And failing that, even written email updates are better than nothing. They work well when both of you have time to talk but not at the same time.

simply do that: "re-connect", call your SO and tell him/her how you feel regarding this; communication is the key and the two of you have to work for it to happen. Good luck!
