Traveling Boyfriend

Amber
My bf travels for work. He's usually gone for three weeks and home for anywhere from 4 days to a week....sometimes, especially lately, he's gone for a month or two at a time. I knew this when I got with him, and was fine with it, and mostly I still am.
It is difficult being without him for so
long. We Skype and text and talk as much as possible but it's still hard. I love him to the moon and back and would never hold his job against him. He works hard and I love him for it. The thing is, he has an opportunity to take a position locally, same pay, same benefits, same job, but he'd be home every night. We were talking about it and I said I would be thrilled if he took it, almost sure that he would but he said he's not sure, I was of course disappointed, and he seemed like he was a little hurt that I was upset and wanted him to take the job. I've never nagged him about being gone, and have done my best to support him...am I selfish for wanting him to take this position? I don't understand why he wouldn't want to be home every night when he's said over and over how hard it is to be apart for so long and how he wished he could be there for me more. I'm so confused and just a little hurt.
