OK, well me and boyfriend have been together a year and a half. He's back at uni now and we are now on a "see how it goes" thing because things got routine before and we realised we didn't miss each other as much or looking forward to seeing each other as much because we were always texting and talking every minute of the day and need our own time as well, so we decided to narrow it down to just a couple texts a day which would be healthier for us. Its been 2 weeks now and its been fine, although I do get worried a lot of the time if he doesn't text during the day. The last couple of days I have found that he's just expecting me to text him first all the time (and I keep doing it because I hate waiting for his text as I get worried) and this upsets me because I keep thinking he's not interested in texting me. I told him about this a couple a days ago and he said he's really sorry he's just been stressed out because he's been doing loads of work for his uni portfolio and he's worried about us too, if ide forget about him because were texting a lot less now. And I said fair enough and I understand that and I assured him I'm not going to forget him and that's just stupid, and that I really love him and he was happier after that phone call. Today I waited until 5pm and I hadn't heard from him, I was getting on with other stuff as well and thought yer he'll text later, but I wanted to see wt he's up to, so I texted him first again. This made me unhappy because I still feel I'm texting him first. I texted asking wt he's up to etc and I love him and he text back normally with an I love you as well, then I told him I'm unhappy at the moment and he asked me why and I said I just am :( and he replied but with no acknowlegdment of my 'down' day. Then I asked if I could call him now because I would like someone to talk to to cheer me up, and he said can he call me later, and got upset by this because if it were him I would ring him as soon as he asks if he needs to be cheered up. Then he wasn't replying and a bit after I got a text saying he's just at the hospital with his friend who's going for tests, and that he's going to stay with him for a bit so he can't talk atm. I said OK don't worry and he can call me after then. But thinking about it to myself, I'm really upset:( I don't know if I'm overreacting and I shouldn't be upset but I just feel if I'm unhappy and having a down day, hede want to chat and find out what's up, but I feel his friend is a bit more important. Is it silly to think like that? This may be minor but I always think about the minor things. Its not like I'm constantly on his back atm because were doing our own things now as well so I thought he would wna see how I'm doing. I just need someone's opinion. Sometimes I feel I give so much to him but he just takes everything, like I always text him first and ide call him if he wanted to chat, sometimes he doesn't answer my calls and picks up when he wants to. And today he's going to call me when he wants to. I don't know, should I be feeling like this or is it silly? Ide really appreciate some opinions :) thanks everyone
