So I’ve been seeing this guy for a year we started going out officially in November but we were exclusive before that. We just click and get each other but… he’s terrible on his phone. I’m basing this on previous experience with my ex who would keep in touch all day everyday. But my current boyfriend barely speak over the phone through text, he will call every now and again but sometimes it’s late after work and he’s tired or his sister might be with him so I feel like I can’t talk. I don’t need to be in constant contact but I do need more than I’m getting.

We’re doing long distance at the moment as he’s working remotely in another country. I’m feeling really like an after thought to him atm. He works until very late at night and I might not hear from him until 11 at night. And his time away is continuing to extend and I only find out on a call it’s slipped into conversation he never really tells me. I’m also studying atm so I don’t have a lot of time but it’s going to be 3 months by the time I see him and it was supposed to be 1 month then home and then another 1 month away. I’m feeling really fed up like he expects me to just be here and he loves his life away.

Now he is a great person, there’s no question of him cheating on me but I don’t understand why he wanted a relationship if this is what he’s doing. So what do I do how do I bring it up to him that it’s making me feel like shit? I’ve said about when we speak it needs to be worthwhile and he agreed but then I never know his plans or what he’s up to until afterwards. He never runs stuff by me it’s just like oh yeah I won’t be home until after then and it just keeps continuing. I feel really emotional over it I’m even considering breaking up with him but I don’t know if that’s just an emotional reaction to it.
