I'd love to feel appreciated, complimented (not just on appearance), shown patience and unconditional love (without the threat of leaving).
I need to try and not over-analyze or show every emotion I have when I have it. Keep things in I guess.

Communication and distance
The physical distance between us is the top for me. Then, I believe in my end having more patience and empathy for her would really help.
Better driving and no more thinking I'm psychic! Xx
Agree - think driving is improving and have started to even write a few notes in the notes bit of my phone so I can actually tell you when somethings wrong

Dampen or moisten your short fuse and certain comments.
The past was yesterday, last week month year, let's leave all, most at least some of the negative in the past and move forward and blossom again & again.
Core values...stay true to them. This will not only help us grow but will help Rayne significantly.

We don't really have any problems but I suppose knowing where we will settle in the future would make things easier, having a little plan would make it seem more real and achievable. 2. Making more money spat when I think I just want to get married right now I don't have to then think we'll we would never be able to pay for that. 3. Hope the problem about actually talking to each other and having just normal conversations is solved, I think it is but I guess we will see after the holidays
Me managing debts and sorting a new car so that we can relax and look forward to future planning.
Her. Getting on top of tasks that need completing and managing her injury until it's resolved.

Me getting sleep - will help me achieve all my goals. When I don't get sleep I'm exhausted and no energy. I already have a weak immune system. Lack of sleep drains my reserves.
In our relationship he needs to do more for himself to achieve the things he says he wants. He needs to not bring frustrations and moaning into the relationship.

Agreed about frustrations. With sleep I think she needs to take responsibility and try to go bed earlier. Living in a small apartment I have to get dressed and get clothes out in the morning. If she is asleep that's not my fault. In a previous place I got changed in a spare room but don't have that luxury in the apartment. I've suggested getting a sofa bed but she thinks that means I don't love her

The biggest problem is probably the fact that we have to go weeks at a time without seeing one another. It's hard to stay close.
The other big problem is getting all my drama out the way. Maybe all my stuff will be solved by the time you come home. :]
