I (F33) and my bf (F38),met a year and a half ago. I made her makeup for a wedding she was attending. She invited me for a coffee after a few weeks to thank me for the makeup etc.

We started to hangout and I realised she is a very good person,kind, caring,does a lot for the people she loves and tries to help.

As the time went by she started to open up to me more and more. Before I realised she was calling me pretty much every day explaining every little detail of her problems and flirts she had.

Now I'm the kind of person that I don't talk too much. I really try to listen to her but it got to a point that it's tiring.

I have a new job now and she calls me everyday single day. Sometimes if I don't pick up she calls again.I know she deals with a lot right now but I honestly want to chill after a long day at work and not to listen her rumbling about her problems. When we talk it's usually 90% of her talking about her self. I tried many times to talk only about me but she somehow listens for a minute or two and then she continues about herself.

The thing is I feel exhausted lately.i avoid her calls and don't feel like talking. I feel guilty. She deals with a lot right now,her mom is sick,she has a really hard time at her new job and she lately suffered a small stroke.I try to support her as I can by listening to her but I can't anymore this daily thing.

How do I approach this situation without hurting her? Also I moved to a different country so it's not like we can meet anytime soon so our interactions are only by phone calls.
