Am I being spiteful by wanting more of his attention, or am I right by saying I'm coming second best?

A female United Kingdom age 30-35, *aybeegurl_x writes:

Lately, i've noticed that my boyfriend is more interested in ebay. He's always been interested in selling and has a good eye for a bargain and has his own business in selling things!

But recently, whenever i go round his house or he comes round mine, he always just sits at his laptop on ebay, i don't ever get hardly any attention from him. At the start of the relationship this never seemed like a problem he was absolutely crazy about me and had given up going on ebay because the number one thing in his life was me, but things have changed and he would go a day without seeing me because he says he's too busy with his business when i know he could make some time for me.

Am i being spiteful by wanting some of his attention, or am i right by saying i'm coming second best? I don't like saying things to him because i know how much he wants to make money and stuff.

What do i do?

angel of love agony auntI to have been in that type of predicament. I was dating this guy DAN and at first I was his number one. The most important thing in his life. He seemed like the perfect boyfriend. But out of no where he started being distant. When I'd go over to see him he'd stay in his house and I'd have to go in and see him. He never seemed to have time for me. It's either he has plans with his friends or his family. I understood so I made plans to see him a week in advance. The day we were suppose to go out he canceled and said he had plans with his friends. What kind of girlfriend has to beg for her boyfriends attention right? You need to do what I couldn't do. You need to sit him down and talk to him. Ask him what is more important. His business or finding time out of his day to spend with you. You deserve more than he's giving and if he doesn't want to give a few hours out of his day to be with you then I think that you should just move on to someone that will give you time out of their day.

superrrshawna agony auntthe guy needs to learn balance! and it is good that you are accepting him for who he is but remember to ask yourself if he is keeping you happy? obviously since you are posting this on dearcupid you know something is amiss.

so.

let him know how you feel. don't ask for him to change, just tell him how you feel and see if he makes a change on his own.

if he doesn't and things continue, ask yourself if you want to be with someone who only wants to be with ebay?

good luck!
