MontanaGirl Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 My boyfriend of two years has hometown friends visiting from out of state for two weeks. He only gets to see them a couple times a year, and this is their first visit here, so he was very excited about the trip. A week into their trip, and I've hardly heard from him at all and haven't seen him at all. The most I can hope for is a text in the morning asking me how I am (no response when I ask the same) and maybe one late at night basically saying good night. We normally are in close contact, sending each other short texts throughout the day, and see each other most nights, so this is completely unexpected. When he's gone back home for the holidays he at least sends an email at night telling me about his vacation. The thing is, when he's with me he'll answer any phone call or text he gets, sometimes leaving me waiting for him to finish for twenty or thirty minutes. So why, with these friends, does he suddenly have no time for even a couple quick hellos throughout the day? Am I asking for too much? I wanted to give him plenty of space to be with them, but I'm feeling a bit neglected. Am I being selfish? I asked him for a little more communication, but he didn't actually respond to my request (either positively or negatively). I've never met these friends, or any of his hometown friends. He said I would this trip but I'm not so sure at this rate. His friends are a married couple, so it's not like he's out with a bunch wild bachelors where I might be the ol' ball and chain, so to speak. They used to be very close to his ex wife, so I've wondered if he's either trying to keep me from them to avoid any awkwardness or if perhaps they don't even know about me at all. Advice?
