Boys... 😢😳 please help me

Chai

I've been with my boyfriend for a little over 10 months. I'm 16 he's 18.

We're kind of long distance, but only because neither of us can drive so it's about an hour on the bus each way which sucks but I deal with it.

But the last couple of months he's just been... disappearing? He'll not respond to my texts for days or weeks at a time. The longest was over two weeks. And it kills me inside.

He says it's because of his work. I know he takes on a lot of extra hours and it drains him to the point where he'll just work, go home, pass out, then go back to work.

I mean, that's what he says.

When I confront him about it, he will either get really defensive and angry, or totally guilt trip me. "It's because of work, sometimes my phone shuts down, I'm just so tired all the time, it's not my fault, I don't have to talk to you every day!"

Just stuff like that.

I really don't know what to think about it... I feel like it's not fair. All I want is to make sure he's okay. Maybe a good morning/night. Anything. I want a boyfriend that doesn't only care about me when he feels like it. Who could at least give me an update every couple of days...

Am I just overreacting?? I wouldn't be surprised if I'm being way too clingy! I really need advice on this...
