I haven't seen a thread for this around MW, so I'm thinking this could be a nifty idea for us MW'ers to support one another in our love wows and woes.

I couldn't think much of myself if I didn't start it off "with a bang":

OK, my boyfriend and I of eight months, have had some woes in the past. Actually a couple of times. We both have busy schedules, but not busy enough where either of us can't properly maintain a relationship.

Our first two big problems had to do with communication issues - I didn't feel like he was opening up to me. Sometimes he even didn't call and blatently ignored me (he actually avoided doing anything with me for a month!). The second time this happened, I was very close to breaking up with him but being an idiot, I didn't.

After a long long talk and many many tears, we patched things up. Recently things were terrific. We were making things workout perfectly.

That was until Friday.

Earlier in the week, I had surgury. He was there for me, albeit by phone, but he was still there. We planned to do something either Friday or Saturday, either or because his friend was having a bday party one night.

So on Friday, after doing some running around, I called him. No answer. I knew he was home from work early. I finally got a hold of him Friday night on his cell, he said he'd call me when he got home, he never did.

On Saturday, I never heard from him. I tried and tried to get a hold of him, and finally did in the afternoon before work. He said he was "out and about" and we might not be able to do anything at all. I said "Okay, we need to talk." And he hung up on me.

I tried calling and calling, he didn't answer. Of course. I left a voicemail message basically stating that I was very hurt by his disrespect, and if he didn't want to talk to me, his wish was my command.

He called me Sunday when I was in a seminar. He was all timid on the message but I didn't call him back.

What should I do? This is the third damn time this has happened. It hurts a lot because I know he's not in love with me (he hasn't even said it in eight months), he's in love with having me there.

I actually don't really think I have a choice in what to do.

I'd agree with your assessment that you really don't have a choice in what to do...

As much as it will hurt, ditch this guy. You deserve way better than that!

Well, I'm not telling you what to do, but I would say that if it were my friend telling me this, I would tell her to dump him and move on. He doesn't sound in to it...why waste your time?

I agree.... I'd dump him, he's not worth it.

Edited to add, good idea for a thread, by the way. :)

I agree with everyone here, dump him!

And coming from me...that's pretty strong. I usually try to find some reason why the other person may have done what they did...but this is ridiculous. If this is the third time, AND you feel he doesn't love you, move on! *hug*
