ruggles Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 My boyfriend has been gone all week for Spring Break, and I stayed at home. He's been traveling in his home country all week--in and out of the house, and he just called today upset because I haven't called him or e-mailed him all week. He e-mailed me a few times, (I responded), messaged me on IM, and has now called twice. I love him, and I think about him when he's gone, but for some reason I don't reciprocate with the calling, etc. I really don't know why!!!! I need help with two things: one, does this make any sense to you? Why might I be acting this way? and 2) what can I do to reassure him that I care, after all this has happened? P.S. This happened over winter break, too, when we were apart for a few weeks. I was working hard on some school stuff, but still . . .

Just make more of an effort to reciprocate, even if you aren't "feeling" it. For example, I'm not big on e-mailing a lot when I'm with someone, but I will force myself to do it because I know how much she appreciates it. How about giving him a call whenever you think of him? Or every second or third time? You should quickly fall into a rhythm. This will also be all the reassurance that he needs. Best of luck. Spirits
Hund1976 Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 You're probably just the type of person who gets sidetracked and isn't thinking about stuff like that. (Do you forget to do other stuff too) Its not really a big deal and doesn't mean you don't love him. Just try to make a point to call him more, make a "To Do" list if you can't remember things.
