Boyfriend Can’t Make Time For Me

I have been in a relationship with my boyfriend for the last 7 months, when we first started dating he worked 12-15 hour days. I tried to be understanding of his schedule and figured I would see him more often when he eventually changed jobs. After his shift change I have not seen him at all and rarely talk to him. I have let him know I wanted to see him, and he claims he’s very interested, but his absence speaks louder than his words. Everyone tells me to move on and a part of me knows that is what I should do, but I have started to care for him more in the short period of time we’ve dated than I do for most men after years of dating. Should I disregard my feelings and move on?
In order for a relationship to work there needs to be give and take. It seems like he is not giving to you as much as you are giving to him. I understand he was working long hours before, but now that he is not he is nowhere to be found. Any guy enjoys being taken care of, and it becomes even easier when they do not have to give as much in return. Remember you should not be holding on to someone who does not feel the same way about you. There is no point in being with someone who does not make time for you. You deserve much better, so be strong and move on. You are definitely right, actions do speak louder than words.
