I've been dating a very busy man, always at work and constantly traveling for work. I really, really like him—dare I say, love him too. In the beginning of our relationship (just three days into chatting), he expressed his hope that I would fall in love with him, and now, after some time, it has happened. He shared his deepest secret with me and appreciated that I never judged him. At the start of the relationship, I also made it clear that I only asked one thing of him: if he ever felt the relationship wasn't progressing or if he wanted to end things, I didn't want to be ghosted. I simply asked for a message explaining the situation so we could end things amicably. The first time he disappeared was for three days, citing work, and when he returned, he apologized. The second time, he was gone for a week, again for work, and apologized once more, reassuring me that he promised never to leave without explanation. However, he also suggested that I shouldn't be upset because his absence gave me a chance to reflect on my feelings for him. Now, he's been away for two weeks, and I'm feeling confused and worn down. I don't know what to believe. Has he forgotten about me? Is this the end of our relationship? Should I wait for him? Despite his behavior, our relationship has been wonderful. He's taught me a lot about myself, and he gives me something no one else has ever been able to provide. I can't compare him to anyone I know but I don’t know what to do to get him back and if he comes back I don’t know what to say to make him understand that I don’t like this behavior.
For context I haven’t been blocked so my messages still get through but nothing more and last time we talked he sent me a message at 2 am stating that he was thinking about me. So there was no fight or argument prior to his disappearing.
