The stuff in your head about your relationship is just that. In YOUR head, not his.
No, I know he doesn't.
Normally, I would think it a possibility, but he's not the type. Super conservative. And if he had another girl, she would have found out about me and something would have happened by now. He has posted videos of me in them on his fb. He has my stuff at his place...his family and friends know me.

My fiance and I are long distance right now. We text the entire day, every day pretty much without stopping. Right now she's out and about and will be home in probably an hour. I'll go hit some golf balls. I'll get home and we'll probably be talking the rest of the night. That's just how it is for us.

There's never a question of "who initiates" because it's not even something that crosses our head.

Calling only 3 times a week... seems difficult to even consider that a relationship, especially if you only see eachother once in a great while and don't even live together.

You said he's not calling you.

The phones aren't broken, nor are his fingers.

He's BUSY. Elsewhere. iykwim.

He doesn't call as much as he used to. It's not that he doesn't call. And I'm the kind of person that prefers the man to do the calling. I know this is a bad habit...
And he sends me stuff on social media like every other day.

Wow that's excessive to me. When I'm dating in close proximity, I prefer to see the person like twice per week and to have one phone convo and some texts.

Ideally, I would like three phone calls with him per week (not short ones) and maybe a Skype session.

To each their own, but it does make me wonder how a relationship can even be maintained with such little contact, on top of barely seeing each other for years on end.

Maybe try upping the contact between you guys and see if that helps him.

This should be irrelevant in a serious relationship. How can you expect him to call you more if you aren't willing to put in equal effort?

The other bad habit you mentioned is discussing something important via text. Just don't.

You need to approach him with your concerns, but don't put the blame on him. Just let him know how you feel when he doesn't all, or when he acts distant. Discuss this with him - don't text him about it.

This will sound absurd, but I get scared I might be calling at a bad time and don't want to bug him, so I don't call him.

I like your thinking actually.
