My boyfriend is to busy and keeps rescheduling on me over and over. Should I be worried?

[Anonymous]

My boyfriend is very busy. He has Uni, work, and a sick Grandma. We get one or two days a week to see each other. But he has been canceling a fair bit lately. Once cause of he's Grandma, two workmate had an injury three tired from work and had a bad day four, he had a chest infection and a bad cough.

I have not seen him in a while cause of all this and a bit worried about things. We are gonna chat about it next time I see him. Think this all sounds genuine? Any tips on how to bring things up without scaring him off?

Some of the excuses (such as being sick) sound legit, but if he's going to make time for everything and everyone except you, how can you have a relationship? I dated a girl a number of years ago who acted like that; she always had an excuse for why she couldn't see me. After a while, I got tired of being the lowest priority in her life; I ended the relationship.

Probably the best approach is to let him know you don't appreciate being such a low priority in his life. Let him know that relationships require maintenance, and if he keeps ignoring you, he'll eventually lose you. It's tough to hear, but he needs to understand how detrimental his behavior is to the relationship.

Don't worry. An ambitious, busy man is better than a lazy sod. Is there anything you can do to help him at his tasks?
