It sounds like that he could be extremely busy. You did the right thing by first telling him how you feel. The key to any successful romantic relationsihp is effective communication. Give him about a month and see if he begins to call you more. If he doesn't, then you might bring it up again and candidly ask him why doesn't call more often. If he's just busy, then you shouldn't be concerned. He should; however, be attentive towards you and call you more often; especially, since you told him how this makes you feel. Although, some people simply don't like to use that phone very often, and this is highly likely why he doesn't call you more often. Either way, good luck & I hope this helps!

Your boyfriend doesn't call you more than once a week? And you've expressed this calmly? (Calmly?) Most women in your situations wouldn't be so calm about not being involved in a relationship especially if all they get is maybe one phone call a week! I mean maybe it could be understood if he was a soldier in Iraq or maybe even an OTR truck driver, but their is no excuse why he shouldn't check in with you at least everyday by phone. I am not sure what he may do for a living, or the specifics of your relationship, but if he has that much time away from you I am certain he has free time when his hands are at idle. The real question is what he is doing in his day to day life and perhaps maybe who he is spending it with? Apparently its not you. It's difficult to answer this question because there is no real sense of the situation. The end to the means of this question could be quite disturbing. Does he have another girlfriend that he's spending time with? Are you just a mistress or a booty call? Is he secretly leading a double life ie; does he have a wife and kids that take up so much of his time he doesn't have time for you? Your question, poses so many other questions that you should be asking yourself and the type of relationship that you are in. But I think you should ask yourself if your willing to risk your mental wellbeing and precious moments of your life in a long distance realtionship? Because that is what this is reminiscent of. Put your foot down! Thats your answer, if he is not willing to sacrifice more time for you as you have sacrificed your patience and time for him, then put your foot down and suggest that it's time that you will find someone else who can make that sacrifice. If he is okay with that you find someone else, perhaps you will have your answer to the questions posed herein. Good luck.

Guarantee there is someone else in his life, other than you. love will always find a way for communication between two people in love. notice i said, "two people in love?". not just one. When dating my wife, i could not talk to her enough. i could not stay away. You have a problem. it goes beyond your above questions. you should investigate.

i have a question for you.....what kind of real love gets one phone call a week????? Find other things to do for yourself. From where i am sitting (and believe me i have much experiance)Love yourself more and you will run across someone that will want to call you a couple of times a day instead of a measly 1 a week. Thats not fair to you. I hope you see that.

t is absolutely normal with some guys to call a lot less than us women do. Mainly, because most men are not so chatty, and do not know what to say if nothing happened meanwhile that excited them so much that they feel the need to share it with us. And asking men to share their feelings, especially on the phone, is almost hopeless. My husband was a quiet guy on the phone before we got married, and I did about 70% of the calling, but we ended up being married and had almost 20 good years together before he passed away. My boyfriend now, that I date for almost a year, is just like my hubby. I still didn't figure men out, but I know that a lack of calling has really nothing to do with their feelings for us, as long as they call once in a while. When my boyfriend neglects me on the phone for too long, and I realize that I called him the last three times, I stop calling. After 3 days tops, I get a call from him, asking: "Are you okay? I wondered, have not heard from you in 3 days." And then we talk as usual. After that, usually he calls me the next two days in a row, but that slags off again once I dial first and we are back in the same routine, until I think again that I did too much of the effort to stay in touch, and put in a communication break again. Just try to stop calling him for a view days and see if you hear from him. If a week goes by and he did not call back after you stopped calling him, then there is a real issue and maybe you invest too much into this relationship with too little in return.

I only called my g/f once a week, and saw her at weekends. I was going through university, working night shift and living at home. We're now married 8yrs, have 2 kids and are happy. We dont have big long romantic conversations every night either, now we both work, make a home and have our own worries and stresses. This doesn't mean we love each other any less, and often I actually find it more enjoyable sitting with her in silence, watchin crappy tv than trying to strain a conversation.
