Am I being unreasonable?

?

My boyfriend and I have a long distance relationship. we live like 5hours apart and as teenagers it is very hard but we manage.

For the past 2weeks he has been revising really hard for his exams so have hardly spoken to him.
But he did his exam today and promised to spend time on me until he calls me up and says he staying over at his mates so won’t be able to talk to me.

I wasn’t happy and have gone in a mood with him. He thinks that I am being unreasonable but he doesn’t understand that I have missed him.

What do you think?

He probably just wants to relax some after his exam. Did he say how long until he will be able to talk to you?

I don’t think that’s too bad. Like I said, he probably just wants to relax some after his exam. Just be patient and wait one more day. Now, if tomorrow night comes and he still won’t talk to you, then you have a right to be upset. That’s my opinion.

I think that you should wait for the time that he said that he would be gone. Then if he doesn’t get in touch with you by then, then I think you should have a reason to be upset. Just keep in mind that maybe he doesn’t want to be stressed when he sees you.

I’ve had to go the long-distance relationship route before, while my girlfriend was on a military course.

In this situation…well, it’s an awkward decision for a male. Speaking from experience, of course. I can’t count the times my friends, co-workers, or classmates have chastised me for spending time with my girlfriend instead of spending time with them.

Who would I rather spend time with? My girlfriend, obviously. But consider that the constant chastising, the constant banter, and the constant pressure to be part of the crowd instead of taking time for what matters most to an individual can often snowball. My thought is that yes, he might take time off to be with friends…but it’s possible that while you might feel angry that he’s with them, he might feel saddened that he’s not with you. He very well might feel awful for leaving you behind like that.

If he thinks you feel unreasonable…well, explain your side of the story. Explain how you feel. And if he still thinks that you’re being unreasonable…well, then he might just need to set his priorities back in order. Try to be understanding for the time being, but make sure that it’s clear to him how you feel.

Just a thought - I’m not an expert, and I won’t pretend to be one.

i personally feel that you are being unreasonable.. after all the stress that he has had to deal with, he needs to just chill out… if that means going to a friends house to relax and watch movies.. let him.. he has more than deserved a day to just chill out… tomorrows another day..
