Long Distance Relationship Problems

Long Distance Relationship ProblemsHi Laura,
I have found myself in a long distance relationship again and this time problems are arising sooner than my last long distance relationship that lasted over 10 months. My current boyfriend is someone I have known for over 3 months now and we are already having arguments over little things.
I try not to compare him to my past relationship that ended badly, but it's hard. My current boyfriend pursued me in the beginning, grabbed my attention with his openness and loving qualities.
Now he is withdrawn and holding back from me. I don't know what to do. I keep trying to communicate with him and stay positive and understanding, but everything keeps turning into a fight.
He's starting to drink more and I know he is avoiding me because he doesn't want to tell me about his situation right now. I just don't know how I can trust him now that he has withdrawn from me...I can understand that he needs time to learn how to open up... but I feel like we have been taking steps backwards instead of forward.
I keep wanting to defend him because I know he is a great guy, but do I deserve to have to deal with long distance relationship problems this early in the relationship?
