Should I be upset or am I being dramatic?

Anonymous

I'm 27, been seeing a guy also my age for a few months.

Its gone well up til this point. He's called me his girlfriend to family and friends.

My issue has started this week.

So, to preface it, he's moving out of state in like 2 weeks to go back across the country for about 9 months. Then he will be back. It's a work thing.

BUT Obviously I'm gonna miss him and want to spend a lot of time together before he goes.

But this week, his communication has been poor. He claims he is bad at answering texts even though up until this point it hasn't really been an issue. And I'm not asking for CONSTANT contact. Just to be kept in the loop with what's going on with him. We work opposite shifts so we can really only see each ther about 2 days a week.

So, on top of not receiving much communication lately, he was out with his friends every night this week. Which is fine. I'm happy he has friends and an outlet. But he never mentions what he's doing and it's kinda weird.

But what set me off the most was today is one of our hang out nights that is routine. BUT he was a few hours later than usual and I assumed its cause he was working late that he said he would be late.

No, out with his friends all day. So our time was cut short and then he proceeded to fall asleep not even as hour and a half later. So I'm just awake. Kind of fuming because it's starting to feel like this guy doesn't give a shit about me. Plus in the morning he leaves for a week (work). So my ONE night with him was ruined because he was out with his friends and was too tired to hang out with me beyond crashing in my bed for the night.

I want him to have friends and understand that he wants time with them before he's gone as well. But I feel like I'm getting the short end of the stick here..

And its so weird because up until this week, he's really been pretty good.

I just heavily struggle with knowing what I deserve. Because logically I know this isn't how I want to he treated. But I've yet to date anyone that has made me any kind of priority and I don't know if I'm allowed to expect it and how to communicate it
