Hey guys. So as i said in a previous question, my boyfriend is going on a class trip to DC this weekend. the problem is, this whole week he has barely been texting me. Like the texts only in the morningt and to say goodnight and when we do text its just short responses or answers to my questions. This is the first weekend in a long while that we wont be able to hang out cuz he will be gone.:( and the worst part is, HE DIDNT EVEN ASK ME TO HANG OUT BEFORE HE IS LEAVING which is tonorrow:'( i know ur gonna say "well why didnt you ask?" But the reason i didnt was because he hasnt been showing me he cares about me at all this week no matter how hard i tried. I even asked if something was bothering him and he said "no is something bothering you?" well i feel like i am being taken advantage of and i need to know, am i overthinking this, is this a red flag, or am i really being taken advantage of?

But why not ask him why he acting strange like not texting, and not wanting to hang out.
If he has a legitimate excuse to why he's been doing that, then let this go. If he continues this after he gets back, then you might want to take a look at the relationship.
But you can't assume the worst in him. Just because he didn't ask to hang out and he texts you shortly doesn't mean that he's taking advantage of you. This has only been going on for a week? Just wait this out and don't over think things. If he continues, then you need to have a talk with him. Maybe he was just having a bad week, give him the benefit of the doubt unless this continues for awhile.

It might be a red flag, but stop assuming he's being malicious. That kind of judgement and contempt will kill your affection for him even if it turns out he just busy and careless.
Wish him well. He's going on a trip and is going to be busy and occupied. Let him know he is missed and that you want to hang out as soon as you can when he gets back.
If he still blows you off - then it's likely something more is up, but give the guy a fair chance to be good by asking for what you want, before you start declaring that he is 'taking advantage of you' in your own mind. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
