<human>: To keep it brief, "k" and myself have been best friends for 4 years. He fell in love with me while I was dating someone else, and when that boyfriend and I broke up, K and I got together a little after.

K lives in Cali, while I live on the east coast, and while nothing about a long distance relationship is easy, I thought that he was the one for me. Great communication, affectionate, everything I could ask for. 

We had our fair share of issues, but it always seemed worth the struggle. K is supposed to come back to the east coast soon, but in order to do that, he became extremely stressed and extremely busy. He warned me a week in advance that communication would slow a bit. But I wasn't prepared to get a text from him once every five hours, short and curt, and so polar from how we normally communicate.  After nearly a week of this, I freaked out. I asked him if he was acting this way because he felt differently (the classic fade out), or why (when he actually did respond) was he so short with me. He got frustrated with me, obviously. Looking back, I knew my insecurities took hold, and it wasn't fair to him.

We broke up soon after this happened. He admitted that me being too needy was part of it- That although I know he loves me, I need to hear him say it to be completely sure. The same way I knew he warned me he was going to be busy while he's in the process of coming home, but having no reassurance for a week made me flip out.

I don't know how to stop being this way. My logic knows whats going on. But the emotions I feel fuck with my mind, and it's so hard to ignore.

Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell
<bot>: boyfriend broke up with me because I'm too needy. How the hell do I stop worrying and having anxiety when I don't get somewhat constant reassurance?
