When your boyfriend doesn't have time.

What do you do when your boyfriend doesn't have time for you? Or when he just doesn't feel like talking to you or anyone for that matter for the past 2 weeks? Well that's the problem that I'm having right now. My boyfriend tells me that he doesn't feel like talking to anyone and he wont even call me. Is it just me or is that not right? When you're in a relationship aren't you supposed to trust your boyfriend or girlfriend enough to be able to tell them what is going on with you? I mean, I want to talk to him, really badly, and it hurts me not being able to. What should I tell him if this continues? He already knows it hurts me but wont admit it. I just don't know if I can be with someone who really doesn't feel like talking for weeks at a time. Knowing him, it could be another few weeks or even a month before he feels like talking again.

I don't think that's quiet reasonable,how could it be?I really don't get his meaning about doesn't feel like talking, and not even called you, how cool he is it make me puzzled, in my point of view how could a person don't feel like talking to the one he loves? Base on my experienced my boyfriend and I never had enough time to share to laugh to express how we do care each other, everyday we need to express how much we missed each other, over the phone,over the net, after we came back from work we still have time to chat sleeping together while open webcam on,since we are so far from each other his in the other part of the world and i'm in the side of the world too. I don't know how a relationship will work that way, I feel like i can't stand if i am in that situation.Do you think confront him makes him understand what you feel?

There are reasons why men refuse to speak to anyone, may it be their girlfriend or their parent. Some are the following: 1. Chronic fatigue syndrome - feeling tired all day to the point of not able to speak. A person who suffers from this condition have scarce speech, it would be better to communicate to him by letters. This is shocking to know thats why its better kept secret. 2. Lack of understanding friends - those friends who cannot go to a deeper friendship or have a lower iq. Instead of agreeing they refuse to believe the person just because its a sophisticated thing to discuss about. The friend will keep denying the opinion of the sufferer and say, "I don't know what youre talking about." What a misfortune when this happens. In the end the basis for a good relationship is the health of the man not only the woman.

cheer up buddy,that's not a big deal its a common problem first try to understand his problem rather than worrying and firstly you need to think positive. i can understand your fears.let him know that you were missing him badly and make him aware of your feelings and try to convince him and know his position.once you can get the root of his problem you can solve it forever.good luck dear

Time is very important in a certain relationship. My boyfriend and I used to argue before because I always told him he didn't have much time for me, though I know he was trying his best to divide his time. Well in that case, I did understand his situation because he was really very busy those days but still he kept on trying to come in contact with me. In your case, I cannot understand why your boyfriend told you that he doesn't want to talk to anybody including you. I guess that sounded a little harsh, right? he entered in that kind of relationship therefore he is obliged to give you some time in order for your relationship to grow. If I were you, I will ask your boyfriend about what made him say that he doesn't want to talk to someone. It would be better for you to know that truth than to pretend that there is no problem at all where in fact you are hurt by that. he should know how you feel about it.

Looks like you guys have experienced this kind of situation before.I understand your fear...and you do have a point,people should trust each other...but people do need some time to be with their own thoughts...Not that he don,t love you anymore he just need sometime out of the worlds problems...Don't worry...according to my experience its never few weeks or a month...more likely its going to be couple of days...until he gives you a call...And at the end you should have a line....tell him if after 7 days he don't call you you should leave him..What kind of boyfriend is that when he don't want to talk to you?!...Obviously he is immature....Still no reason not to talk to you...However..there is a line for everything and you need to know where is your line...i say 7 days no more..After that either he will realise that next time he need to talk to you or you look for another boy...take care:)
