A female United States age 30-35, *t1023 writes:

Hi, my boyfriend and I have been together for 7 months now. We are both 20 years old. I really love him, except for the fact that his friends seem to never get enough of him. They are constantly calling or texting him when we are together. We hang out once to two times a week, usually only once. All other times, he is with his friends. When he is with his friends, he will NEVER call or text me and if I text him, either I won't get an answer or about 2-3 hours later I will. When i confront him about this, he says he just doesn't look at his phone, but the thing is, he KNOWS it's me, so why wouldn't he answer me? No, I am not annoying, I hardly ever call him and text him first, and when I do, it'll just be one text or call. I feel like he thinks of me as an inconvenience. He has even said to me before that he never gets to have fun (as in drinking) because his friends only seem to go out drinking on a day when he's with me. He has also ditched me a number of times, as in making plans with me a couple days ahead of time then when i bring it up again, he said he's going with him friends. I told him before that this makes me feel horrible when he does this. I look forward to seeing him since we hardly ever see each other but I don't think he feels the same towards me. When I confront him, he tells me I make big deals out of everything. I don't know what to do anymore, does anyone have any suggestions? Am I really making a big deal out of nothing?

No, I don't think you are making a big deal out of nothing. He seems to be spending a lot of time with his friends already, and you only get to see him once a week? And even then he thinks that he never gets to have fun, because he sees you once a week? I would say he isn't ready to be in a relationship. Sounds like he needs to be out drinking and partying with the guys. And it doesn't sound like the 2 of you are on the same page with this relationship.
