Okay, so this is maybe silly, but I'm getting kinda annoyed. I have been in an LDR with my boyfriend for 2 years now. We have met once, and all of our conversations have been on Snapchat. No other means of communication no text, no WhatsApp, not even Instagram. His reasoning is that he doesn’t have any other socials and that it is his only means of communication. At first I was like, that's a little weird, but at the same time I know people who are kinda like that, and personally I have everything.

So when I brought it up to him last night that I kinda wanted to move off Snapchat because it's starting to feel weird, I guess, that I can only reach him on one specific app, not even his phone number, I asked him if we could please move away from it to at least WhatsApp or exchanging numbers, because that would make me feel more comfortable. Like, what if Snapchat stops working and it's just gone like that?

He just said that he is more comfortable on Snapchat and that he has all his friends on there. And I said I'm not just his friend, I'm his girlfriend and I want to have more access to him. We FaceTime daily and talk daily, so I can’t see the issue with us having access on all platforms even his phone number would make me feel much better.

He just said no and doubled down that he is most comfortable on Snapchat, but after 2 years I'm getting a weird feeling that he is not willing to at least just give me his cell.

And I do want to add we are both 21 years old, pretty much in the same stage of life.
