h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I am somewhat .
As I mentioned in my last journal, my man and I have had a few problems, stemming mainly from his stress and depression. I knew it would be a long journey, and it wouldn't be easy, but I am prepared to stick with it and do what I can help and support him. Part of the problem is, he won't talk about it. He admits he has a problem, but just feels he can't talk about it to anyone, Full stop.

We saw each other 4 weeks ago, and there were mutual declarations of love and affection, and of having missed each other, in amongst tears. There was also a heartfelt apology over his thoughtless behaviour at New Year, an expression of the wish "not to have to wait 9 weeks" to see me again, and a promise to try and talk about what was upsetting him so. I promised patience, support and said I wanted to see him again too. A good start you would think. Me too...

Sadly, after initial good comms, he started to become distant- rapidly. So.... it's me calling him mostly- and he's happy to speak to me, it's me texting mostly- often with out reply . I have suggested times we could get together. First time there was long standing arrangement to go sailing with a friend- fair enough. Second - too busy at work he was duty manager, third time- guiding work, I need the money. See a pattern??? This time- "Oh, might be going sailing with my mate, and I want to do that if I can. You know me, any chance to go sailing. It's nothing personal". So, I asked if he still wanted so me. Yes, I do came the reply. Are you sure? I said. Oh yes, I do want to see you again he replied.

Excuse me? If our relationship is important to you why are you avoiding seeing me again?

I am more than willing to give him time, space, love and support while he sorts himself and decides what he wants to do, but this is getting silly.

I think he's taking the p*** this time. Or am I being unfair?
