" I&amp;#039;ve been with my boyfriend for four years, but the last few months, he&amp;#039;s been superstressed, working really late hours and going out of town a lot on business. As a result, I never see him anymore. In fact, I can go two weeks without seeing him, and he lives only 20 minutes away. He says he still loves me and promises to be a better boyfriend once he gets a chance to breathe, but I wonder when that will happen. Do you think this is just a sneaky way of breaking up with me? Just because your guy is crazed at work doesn&amp;#039;t necessarily mean he wants to outsource his love life. However, I am a little curious as to why he can&amp;#039;t seem to find the time to at least grab one quick dinner with you in a two-week period. So it&amp;#039;s possible that something else is going on. The best way to suss out what&amp;#039;s really happening is to think about any other ways his behavior toward you has changed. Is he less affectionate? Is he sometimes not where he says he&amp;#039;s going to be? Is he sketchy with details of what he&amp;#039;s been doing? Does he insist that he call you, but discourage you from calling him? If you answered yes to at least a couple of these questions, then all may not be right in Relationship Land. In that case, I suggest you confront his absentee behavior and ask him point-blank if he has any problems with you and your relationship. But if his behavior overall is status quo, I&amp;#039;d give him the benefit of the doubt &amp;amp;#151; he may be legitimately busy. I know the situation sucks for you, but it&amp;#039;s no picnic for him either. So try to be supportive. Offer him the occasional neck rub to ease his stress and tell him that you&amp;#039;re there for him. The last thing the dude needs is more tension from you on his off hours. By nagging him, you&amp;#039;ll only make him think you&amp;#039;re being self-centered and unsympathetic. His work will eventually slow down. Then you two can go back to the way things were before his job took over his life. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
