Dear Prudence,
My boyfriend recently got back from his deployment in Afghanistan. We haven’t seen each other for nine months but still managed to communicate via text nearly every day while he was gone. He’s been back for about a week and I feel like I talk to him less now than I did when he was there. Did I wait nine months just to be dumped? Or am I being inconsiderate and not giving him time to readjust? I want to be patient, but this is causing me a lot of anxiety. I’m totally falling in love with him, but am worried I just wasted nine months for him to come back and realize I’m not good enough. Do I talk to him about it or ride out the anxiety until I get to see him?
