Asking Eric: We didn't have a fight but I haven't seen my boyfriend in 8 months
Briefly

A relationship lasting 14 years without in-person meetings is concerning. Communication occurs nightly, yet no visits have happened in eight months. The boyfriend's issues with family and past abuse create barriers. He prioritizes his privacy, impacting relationship dynamics. The girlfriend questions the commitment level, feeling neglected. Expressing a desire for face-to-face meetings may reveal his true intentions and willingness. Addressing personal coping mechanisms and relationship integration is essential for emotional health.
After 14 years, it's concerning that you haven't met his son or his friend. He may be happiest letting the relationship flourish away from more complicated relationships.
If he's happy to talk for hours every night, he can and should spend 15 minutes to visit you for an in-person talk.
