There Is Tension And Distance Between My Partner And I. Any Ideas?

This is a relationship that has been growing for some time now, years rather than months and has strong roots. There have certainly been arguments and game playing but nothing the two of you cannot withstand.

The unrest appears to fall on the man in this union. A little time apart would alleviate your fears. Going away for work or family will eradicate friction. Don't let your insecurity prevent this happening.

It is easy to allow childish whims to cloud our thinking forcing our partners to make decisions (to please us) against their better judgement. The reality is the two of you have invested a lot in one another and have built a very solid foundation for the future. Now is the time to not be so possessive and allow things to blossom. Look out for a definite invitation and don't be too hasty to jump to negative conclusions. It is one that should be accepted even if it doesn't include you. Have faith, it is a good thing, the repercussions from which will bear unexpected fruit.
