Question Posted Wednesday January 18 2006, 11:24 pm
My bf lives in another province because he has to work in the oil rigs. He works very long hours and has no internet so we hardly ever get to communicate. He has a cell but because he's working all the time it's hard to get a hold of him. The last time I talked to him was on Xmas Day.
Should I wait for him to make the next call? I was the one that phoned him on Xmas Day. I personally think he's being insensitive for never phoning.
I'll rate 5's!

Porphyrogenitus answered Thursday January 19 2006, 12:12 am: Well, good and free communication are keys to any successful relationship, so I think you should give him a call. Don't be overly zealous about it, however. You need to make sure that you don't want to come across as being too clingy and/or jeopardise his job by placing too many unsolicited calls.
It's a fine line you'll have to walk between preserving your relationship and allowing your boyfriend some space with which to perform his duties. However, do ensure that you don't become *too* relaxed in your attitudes toward the subject of his balancing work and your relationship. Give him too much latitude and you'll find yourself playing second or even third fiddle to his career. That, by the way, is a bad thing if your aim is to further develop what you current share with him. [ Porphyrogenitus's advice column | Ask Porphyrogenitus A Question ]
