My bf is at uni. Hes nearly finished his first yr. This uni is about 2hr drive away from me.
We used to call EACHOTHER everyday but didnt talk for long. We were both happy in our situation. He then started saying that I called him nearly every 2min, but I didnt. I backed off anyway. I think he said it because he had his own friends and he always hung out with them.
But now he doesnt hang out with them as much. I don't know why. I dont think he told me everything. Anyway now when I call him up we talk for like 2 hrs coz he has nothing else to do. But its wearing me out coz I have other stuff to do. I go to bed late coz we talk for ages and Im always tired at college. I understand he's bored and has nothing to do. I dont want him to be bored. I enjoy talking to him but its getting too much. Ive tried telling him to hang out with them again but he says he has nothing in common with them. I don't get so much work done anymore. Im behind with deadlines.
I hope he isnt using me. He isnt is he? We're in a long term relationship. Im scared if I say something I'll offend him or make him angry.
You're in the exact same situation now, and you have every right to tell him so. You have very valid reasons - your college work is falling behind, your free time is being eaten up, and you're not sleeping as much as you should. None of those are healthy things for you to be doing, and an understanding boyfriend would understand your reasons.

He wouldn't takl to you for 2 hrs. if he didn't care for you. But you need to have a talk about when you'll get youor work done! [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
