Search Results: is it too late to date

I haven’t seen my boyfriend for the past 6 weeks, I’m not worried about him cheating or anything, he is a true workaholic and leaves his workshop late at night. When I ask him to meet up after work he says he is tired and he doesn’t want to just come to my place and make me feel like we’re just sleeping together, he wants to take me on a proper date but he’s just too busy. He doesn’t really open up about his issues and I don’t know what is he going through, he texts me and calls me all the time, but we haven’t seen each other for 6 weeks now. When I ask him he keeps making me feel like I’m too needy and I hate this. I told him that I needed some time apart to think about our relationship, because this is the loneliest I have felt in my life and I hate it. I don’t see why am I the only one compromising in this relationship. Yesterday, I send him a message explaining why I feel so lonely in the relationship and what are my expectations and I told him that I need 2 weeks to think. He’s been messaging me asking me to talk to him, I really love him but I feel so hurt and I need time to figure things out. Should I leave his messages unanswered for the next 2 weeks? Or what? I’m so confused.

First off we have NOT had sex. We've sexted a bit.

Anyway he sometimes gets called into emergencies at work & I asked him to text me if he does. It's a simple request so I know he hasn't been in an accident or something.

.

He didn't do it the first time, okay. We talked about it & he promised he'd text me.

Second time, just a few days later, he's called in and AGAIN he doesn't text me.

He promised & promised up and down that if it happened again he'd text me. He says he wants a future with me, etc., etc. - we get along quite well otherwise - and said he'd text.

Third time and AGAIN he doesn't text me.

.

There's other little things he's done - it's not just this - that imply he doesn't respect me.

Like I'll link him something and instead of looking at it he'll just respond off the article (and been wrong). And other things, etc. it'd take too long to list all the little nuisances that are niggling the back of my mine.

.

But this not texting when he promises and promises is like fuck you.

If you really did mean what you said --- and I am someone raised to stand by my word, not spout empty valueless air --- you'd do it.
