I don't know how I feel... sad?

Samantha

My boyfriend and I have been dating for 2 and a half years. I work on the weekends and he is off. He spends most of the time I'm gone playing Video games and sometimes goes to help his mom or dad. I understand that he gets busy helping his mom and dad but I know he gets on his phone around them. On my way home on the weekends I call him so i can talk to him. I also work in a bad neighborhood so talking him helps me get the courage to walk to my car in the dark. Besides the initial hello, what's up, the rest of the phone call is mostly silent. I try to talk about my day and our plans and such but most the time he goes silent and I start repeating "hello" over and over till I finally get his attention when he snaps and says what?

I don't understand him. When he calls on his breaks at work, you best know I better answer the phone on the first call or else he gets moody and upset. Sometimes I'll get a message after that saying something about how he guesses hes not going to be able to talk to me on this break but it comes off as kinda mean. I genuinely feel bad and I get upset and frustrated when it happens. It doesnt happen often. If I dont answer the first time he will hang up and try again a couple more times till I do and if I dont I'll get a text. However when I call him most the time he wont answer and I try his method of calling back repeatedly and I still dont ever get an answer. Sometimes I'll ask him about it and he'll say he was playing a game.

It's the same way with texts. If I don't respond in a timely matter he gets upset but when I text him he mostly reads it and after so many times he'll put "okay boo" or "sounds good". Half the time when that happens I'd rather he not text back at all If that's all he's going to put. Really half the time it doesnt even match what I was talking to so it feels he just writes something to shut me up. I know I text alot or send multiple messages but that's me. And I know people dont like their phones blowing up but still. Hes admitted that a lot of the times he doesnt read half of the texts I send, which hurts my feelings. Sometimes I'll confront him about it. I've asked before if I'm boring or bothering him and he says no.

I don't get it, I could go all day without a response yet once a friend texts, he immediately answers and holds a conversation with them but at the same time not hardly respond to mine and gives me "okay boo".

I play video games a lot too and when I'm home I'm doing chores and such but once I get that text I drop what I'm doing and I respond back and it sucks that I dont get that back although he does it for anyone else but me. When I text him it's not stupid stuff like I just drank a coke, it's important stuff.

Before we officially started dating he would send me long texts, show great interest, text a timely response but now that he has me it's close to nothing. Also sometimes he will call me stupid and he knows it upsets me because that's when I get pissy and really upset and I've asked, begged, pleaded, demanded that he stop calling me stupid. I remember when we first started talking I would call him a dork and he said he didnt like it so I stopped it immediately. It only took one time for him to tell me, yet I've told him over 2 dozen times. Way more than I can count. Then he asks me why I'm being a bitch Because I'm upset about him calling me stupid. And it's almost like he guilty me into getting me to feel like it's my fault. Also any time something happens... it's always my fault somehow even if it was clearly his fault. Then I feel bad and have to apologize.

This kinda ranted more into the texting issue but I guess while I'm on it I have to do all the cleaning and chores around the house and the only thing I make him do is the trash and every week without fail it piles up and I make more than one bag. Just yesterday he took out the trash and now we need to take it out again. He gets pissed at me for over flowing the trash yet it's his job to take it out. I do the rest of the chores it's the least he can do. I started telling him and practically nagging him to take it out and yet he forgets/doesn't have time.

One more... he doesnt drive so if I go to work after him I take him to work. It's on the way to my work so it's not out of my way unless it's my day off then I have to come home. Then at about 2am he gets off. Sometimes it's different but usually 2. And if I'm not there before 2 he calls me upset about where I am. He says 2 yet gets out a few minutes early then gets all pissy I'm not there. I'm frustrated because he says 2 and it's not 2. Or if he says hes ready and if I'm not there in like 3 minutes he I get a phone call him upset asking about where I am and why its taking so long. When really it takes 5-7 minutes to drive there plus the time I always spend at the light I catch plus the time it takes me to get my shoes on, grab my purse, keys, walk to the door, and walk to my car. Also sometimes I pee before I leave because a lot of the times he goes to the bathroom when we get home. And if he poops he could be in there for half hour 45 minutes then by that time I gotta pee and if I go ask how much longer it pisses him off.

Anyway I guess I'm done

I still love him. I just dont like how I'm treated a lot of the time.
