text: It's because they don't care.\n\nAt least when they're with their guy friends.  Guys don't talk like "Oh, I miss my girlfriend" or, "Oh, I gotta call and see how my girl's doing" when they're hanging out together.  When guys say something like this, his friends call him "P**sy whipped".\nSo they simply forget about you during those times and act all tough or at least unconcerned about you, the girlfriend.\n\nAnd when they're with you, oh yes, they really care about you.  It's just something young guys do.  Being male requires a lot of pretending to be respected.  It's really tough on guys, so give him a break.
