So my BF has been away visiting with his wife's family & there's been very limited communication (including a missed visit or two) all combined with a touch of drama. First of all, the limited communication (mostly unavoidable) feels like a painful reminder that I am in a distant second in his life, not that it's his choice per se, but it's the reality of the situation. Also important, I'm also utterly & completely exhausted from dealing with a teething toddler the past few nites & I'm a single Mom. Everything seem 100x worse when I'm sleep-deprived. I hate feeling like this & wish I could talk myself out of it. Then this past weeks his wife expressed that she was upset b/c he wasn't talking about me & that raised her suspicions that something was wrong, like that he likes me more than her. He totally loves her. Although she expressed that she's ok with him continuing to see me. I have met her too & we talked very candidly.
So I've a barely talked to him this week & am feeling awful/disconnected b/c of it. He won't even send a quick text in response to mine. WTF? I know he's busy almost every second but really. A little background...our relationship is relatively new, plus he lives 1.5 hrs away & has a very busy life (family, business, farm, etc). I have a busy life as well & have other people in the my life, although not nearly as much as I want. I'm starting a friendship/relationship with a new person (female) & an old love (male) is coming back into my life. I know that this isn't all about not hearing from him but it's a big part of it.
I'm not interested in hearing from those tough love folks who are honest & experienced but seem to lack compassion...I hope you know who you are. Honesty without compassion & empathy isn't helpful at all. Save your advice for yourself or someone else please!
