valexis

So, my boyfriend really broke the camel's back. With him in another city, working 10-15 hour days at the family restaurant, and never having time to call me, the relationship was already stressed.

So for Valentine's day, I didn't expect much (he pretty much sucks there historically). I knew no card would be in the mail and certainly no gift of any kind. Fine.

What I did hope for was a call that morning, instead of the evening call (or message if I'm asleep) I usually get. I imagined him waking up and wishing me a quick Happy V-Day as he went to work. I thought of it as, "You're important to me and I know you love this stupid holiday so I'm going out of my way to let you know I'm thinking of you."

I got a message the next morning when he called at 11pm.

Am I such a bitch that I think he can take the 5 block drive to call me outside of his routine and, understandably, busy life? I've been supportive up to this point, but I think I'm done.

When do I say, "I'm done", and not come across as a bitch deserting her man in his time of struggle?

I think I'm going to suggest we take a break until he can fit me in his life again. I don't want to wait forever.
