When being casual apparently isnt being casual

A small rant into the universe. I think it's a bit unfair when you have a dating relationship with someone. You both agree on what that is and understand that because of work, distance is involved so agree to keep it emotionally invested but casual and then after things have gone well for almost 8 months are almost given an ultimatum. As in one should start to look for new work and to be local more often or the relationship may not work. I'm frustrated and upset.

These two things seem mutually exclusive

@BeefySenpie I can see your opinion and appreciate the post reply. For me it means yes we have been dating, I travel and am gone usually several weeks or longer at a time. We like each other, care about feelings and each others lives and experiences but have respected that I travel and she lives a busy life so no one gets upset when there isnt a daily text or call. It might be two or three days in some cases but doesnt mean we havent cared. Its not vacant of feeling
