Search Results: understanding his feelings

I could understand if this happened once or twice, but almost every time, it's the same thing. The next morning he'll text saying "I was so tired I knocked out cold when I got home. How are you?" I don't mind if he says "hey babe once I'm done with my project I'll call you," and then at least say goodnight and that he'll talk to me tomorrow as opposed to just avoiding it all around. He got defensive initially when I brought it to his attention saying "if you don't respect my time blah blah blah, then you're just selfish." I'm
not selfish; I just get excited to hear his voice. Is that a bad thing?

BUT, I would NEVER EVER stop him from taking care of his priorities just to satisfy my needs. I'm very logical and understanding as long as the opposing party is considerate of my feelings. Ultimately if we get serious, that will affect me too. I love an ambitious man. But if you say you're going to call, and don't, then out of common courtesy you do 1 of 2 things:

1. say you're running late and can't call, and apologize

or

2. don't say you're going to call
