I have a long distance relationship with my bf. He had to move away for a job in an oil rig camp. He can't email me because his internet hasnt been connected yet. So the only way we can contact each other is by phone.
Well since he moved 2 months ago he hasn't phoned me once. I phoned him on Xmas day(I just happened to catch him on his break) and he was being pleasant and said he'd phone me on New Years Eve. I never got a call. I know he works crazy hours and probably can't get a hold of me. I also work but only part time.
He told me also to never phone him before 6. He has a cell phone.
I'm getting really sick of this whole long distance thing. I also think he should be phoning me more than say, once every 2 months.
Should I cut this dead and try to find a local boy? And if he really loved me wouldnt he be contacting me more?

Chances are it is not going to change much.
Working oil rigs is working VERY long days. VERY hard work. When the day is done I would imagine the guys are thinking of nothing but sleep.
So, while I really don't think he is deliberately ignoring you or treating you badly, it may just not be the life for you. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]

Hope this helps!<3 [ lizzbethhh's advice column | Ask lizzbethhh A Question ]
naimee answered Sunday January 1 2006, 12:01 pm: I think that you should first talk to your boyfriend, and tell him how you feel. Tell him, that you can't stand not being able to talk to him and he never calls you, so what's the point of having a relationship? From his reaction, I hope you can make the decision of whether or not to stay with him. He may just be REALLY REALLY busy, and just really doesn't have time to call you. But, I think he should definately be keeping in contact with you much more. [ naimee's advice column | Ask naimee A Question ]
Ivy921 answered Sunday January 1 2006, 11:50 am: I think you may have answered your own question. Speaking to your boyfriend once every two months no matter how far apart you are, seems a bit extreme and not really for a relationship. I think soldiers in Iraq speak to people at home even more than that. The thing is, do you call him and break it off, or just go about living your life and see if you meet someone else? That is really up to you to decide, but I think this relationship isn't giving you what you need.
Good luck and keep me posted. [ Ivy921's advice column | Ask Ivy921 A Question ]
