boyfriend drama

I am in need of some advice...

My boyfriend and I have been together for only 6 months but things were getting serious. We have both said I love you and have talked of the future and plans of being married. He lived an hour away from me and just about a month ago moved to my city with 4 of his friends. We were seeing each other on atleast a weekly basis but when he moved up here "he never has time for me" i told him that i thought we needed to take a break so that he could figure his priorities out and make sure that he wanted to be with me. For the first week he was asking me to just stay with him and work through it but I wanted him to have time to realize that he does want me in his life. After the second week he wouldnt call or text me anymore and wouldnt answer if i called him. I have been trying to get him to sit down with me and have a conversation to hash this out but he refuses. I would say he is over it and doesnt seem to care anymore but if i dont call or text him for a day or two he calls me to yell at me and ask where i have been and he also constantly is asking my roommates where i am and what im doing....

i just dont know what to do. Stop talking to him all together? Try and make him work this out?

HELP!!

Re: boyfriend drama

  • Sorry but he's not serious about a serious relationshp with you.

    Find yourself a guy who wants to spend LOTS of time with you --- this is how guys who are crazy about you let you know that you're a priority.

    And who needs an uncommunicative boyfriend???

    Again, he's not the guy for you. Call this gent and tell him it's over; it's always key to be the one to get out first.

    Sorry for your troubles. Take care.

    Do you have friends who have freinds who know of a great guy who is looking for a great girl?  See if they can introduce the 2 of you; the best way to meet somebody is through other people; somebody who does the introducing can vouch for him.:)
  • Time to move on.  I know 6 months might seem like a long time but it's not.  And you shouldn't have this many issues this quickly.  He's not willing to work on them so cut your losses and let it go.  He's uncommunicative and controlling and that's a recipe for a lifetime of unhappiness.

  • Time to cut your losses and move on.
  • He wants a future with you but he can't spend any time with you?

    Indeed move on. Find another boyfriend -- and this time around, take your time! don't bum rush the show.
  • He doesn't want to be in a relationship with you, he just wants the security and ego boost of knowing you're sitting around waiting in case he decides to pay attention to you again.

    This.

    He isn't relationship material.  Don't waste more time here. 

    And honestly, I'd take some time "off" from dating and spend some time on yourself and tryto figure out why any of this is actually a question, why you think there is anything to try and make work here.

    THIS! I'm not sure how old you are, but let me tell you about 10 years ago.....and it went on for about 4 years off and on I was in your position. It's not pretty. He seems immature, and like he's not ready for a relationship at all. MOVE ON! And don't make the mistake I made of hanging out with a guy on his terms. He might have some good qualities or tells you that he loves you but don't hold on to that. If he loved you he wouldn't choose his friends over you every chance he got. And the fact that he gets mad at you and asks about you all the time isn't showing his love.... it's all about what the poster above said. Good luck!
  • It kinda doesn't sound like he's even your boyfriend any more.

    When they start this "I need to be with my friends" and he's barely ever around, he's already broken up with you.

    Move on. Don't sit around like this is the 50s and you're waiting for his phone call.

  • I think it sounds like you did a "take-away" and it worked better than you wanted it to. He wants you around, but doesn't want to put forth any effort to make that happen. Find someone new. There are too many good options out there for you to be dealing with that.

  • I agree that it is time to stop calling and try and let it go. But I just wanted to say this, he asked you to stay with him and work it out. You wanting to take a break might have made him feel like when the going gets tough that you will bail instead of working together to find a solution to problems in the relationship.
