How Do You Make Make Him Less Stressed and Worry Free

My trucker and I have been dating for a little over 2 months. I'm in my early 20's, no children, and living in his house already (he asked me to move in after a month).

He is in his early 30's, divorced, and has two children. He hasn't dated anyone since he dated his ex over 10 years ago so he is always worrying he isn't a good enough boyfriend to me.

The first month he was gone was easy..he'd call several times a day and was always in a good mood.

He's gone again and the calls are less frequent and he's soo stressed about bills and work. He hasn't gotten back into the trucking mood and he's been gone almost a week.

I feel terrible that he's stressed out and there's nothing I can do to cheer him up. I fear that he will think he isn't good enough for me and is burdening me and would dump me. We get along very well but I've never seen him so depressed before.

He says he isn't crabby towards me at all but I think he's afraid ill someday up and leave like his ex did. I reassure him everyday that Ill always be there for him to vent and that I'm crazy for him.

He is such a worrier and is so used to being alone that he isn't used to sharing his problems to me. I know he's in love with me, I just wish he wouldn't be so stressed out about everything.

How do you ladies make your men feel better about all their stress when you're so far away from each other for weeks at a time?
