Should I let go?

[Kristin99]

Hi! My boyfriend and I have been together for almost two years. I feel as if I am the only one who puts effort into our relationship. He is leaving for deployment in two months, and meanwhile he is redoing his house, taking classes and working crazy hours. I understand that he has important things to deal with in his life, but it seems like I'm never a priority. We live five hours apart, and the only time we talk during the week is when he is driving to or from work. Every weekend I drive five hours to see him. I have been helping him every weekend for six months by painting his house, redoing the kitchen, yard work, etc.

I make sure to do little things for him like leaving little love notes, sending him chocolate covered fruit, and simple things like collecting boxes to help him move. He never does anything nice for me. I basically begged him for a Valentine's Day card...I'm not saying I want a grand gesture, but a little teddy bear couldn't hurt just to show appreciation.

We have talked about getting married but he wants to wait until after he comes home from deployment to get engaged.

I love him and he is a good guy, but I feel like I might be wasting my time. We talked about his effort and the only thing he could think of that he does for me is spending time with my parents when he comes to visit me. I also spend time with his parents...and he hasnt visited in over 6 months.

Should I stay?

[Hooo!]
