No contact with boyfriend for 8 days!
My boyfriend and I are in a long-distance relationship. We live only a 40 minute flight away but in separate countries. I am from Belfast and he is from Manchester (but works in London a lot). We have been together for 6 months or so after meeting at a party of a friend I was visiting. We've always been mad about each other and he made no secret of how much I meant to him. Up until a month ago, we were doing just fine with the distance. Then he got very busy at work. He works at a very demanding job, high-profile, from which he makes a lot of money. I was always aware that this would demand his attention. I was understanding the first few times he cancelled trips to see me or said he would have to rearrange. But then he missed a vist for my birthday, no card or present sent. Just a phonecall (a long one though). His arrangements to see me again have been vague since and last week I'd had enough. An old friend, who's quite good looking, began admitting feelings he was having for me and, although I didn't do anything, it made me realise how much others think of me and what they would do to be with me. And my boyfriend is just accepting I'll be there even if he let's me down. I do not want to be with the other man, I should stress! Because of this, I felt more confident to tell my boyfriend this set up wasn't acceptable. He apologised and said he was very busy and couldn't prioritise at the moment. I told him the relationship was more like a friendship but I really wanted us to work out. He told me he was abroad in Dubai and so the time difference was a little difficult to work around. He was sleeping when I was working, working when I was sleeping. He didn't contact me after this and I haven't heard from him since. I have text him twice and gotten no reply. Have I been dumped?? I'm pretty certain he is back from Dubai now.
