My partner and I have been together for almost 8 months now. In April, it was my birthday and as one of my birthday gifts from my parents they booked me a trip to Colombia for the whole summer to visit my family that I haven’t seen in 4 years now. I felt bad for my partner at first because I realized I wasn’t going to be able to spend our first summer together, but I realized I shouldn’t feel bad because he would’ve choose to gone too if he had the chance. In three weeks, I’m traveling, and I’m trying to make it the most out of these two more weekends that I have with him. I want to hang out with him during the weekends due to our busy schedules during the weekdays and after school we can barely see each other. We had an argument two weeks ago about how I didn’t see that it was fair that he was spending the weekend with his friends knowing that he’s going to have 7 weeks to himself while I’m gone and since I’m the one leaving and not his friends he should spend more time with me. I don’t know if I’m in the wrong for asking him to spend more time with me. He’s going out with his brother this weekend and I don’t know how I should feel about it since after that weekend we only have one more weekend to hang out until September. What should I do?
Am I being selfish towards my partner?

I think it’s a bit selfish, I understand you aren’t going to be seeing him for a while but after all, it is your choice. If you are meant to be, the relationship will stay solid during your vacation. This vacation is actually a very good test to see how stable this relationship really is.
He's probably losing interest because men really don't like it when you travel without them, especially yo foreign countries.
