should I end it?

I've been seeing someone for a few months now, we get on really well but I know it's not going to go anywhere for various reasons. We both have children, he's a lot older, he lives far away and I don't think he wants the hassle of a relationship.

Recently it seems to be me Texting or calling him first, although not all the time, so he may not feel the same. In the run up to Christmas he was coming over more than usual (instigated by him) and we were Texting pretty much everyday. But since speaking to him on Christmas day I have heard nothing! I'm inclined to leave it until he gets in contact but I have no idea how long that will be.

He us often busy with work etc so I understand if he just needs a few days to get on with things, but is it unreasonable to expect him to at least tell me that? I don't expect to hear from him everyday, and don't mind not, but think it's a bit unfair to just stop all contact without giving a reason?

I don't necessarily want to just end things, because I am happy with things as they are, but think he should be a bit more considerate of my feelings.

I also know that this relationship is not sustainable long term, and that it will at some point either have to progress or end.

So opinions please, sorry it's a bit disjointed.

Hmmm... I'd just let it go. It's annoying not to have a "reason" but sometimes there isn't one other than it's just a bit too much effort for you both?

Honestly I'd let it go. It's rude. I don't believe all this stuff about when to text - the fact is that when you like someone enough you don't mess about like this or feel like you don't know where you stand. Even if he is into you, surely your expectations are a bit higher.

Thanks for the replies, think maybe it is coming to an end. I'll see how things are over the next few days.
