So called relationship, was I right to snap or out of order?

I am involved in a long distance relationship. When we first met he said he'd come and visit every weekend. This soon changed to every fortnight. Our main form of communication is msn which is crap. He does phone now and again but this is normally when he's at work so 2 minutes in he has to "rush off" as he has a customer.

I'm sick of the whole thing, we never see each other, we're never together at important times (bank holidays, easter, christmas, valantines day etc etc) and he doesnt seem to understand that the whole point of being in a relationship is to have someone there for you.

I spend all week on my own, every other weekend on my own, public holidays on my own...its just stupid.

The other day I was upset, he kept nagging me on msn asking what was matter so I told him I was feeling depressed so he send a "sad" face and wrote hugs and then added a smilie I couldn't help myself and snapped and wrote back "wow great, now I feel a million times better". He replied "What else do you want me to do?" as if I expect too much of him.

Everytime I've tried to break it off he's talked me around but what's the point? I want to be with someone I can see on a weekend, spend a few hours with when the kids have gone to bed during the week...someone to go for a drive with on a bank holiday...am I really expecting too much of a relationship?

I thought the same as madamez, it sounds like no-strings-fun rather than a relationship. HAve you actually both agreed to what kind of relationship you are having with each other?

Still, it seems strange that he's holding out on giving you his address as presumably he has yours?

he didnt directly give me his landline number but he phoned me from home once and I "cut" the number and pasted it into my phone. When I phoned it his mother answered but I suppose thats no guarantee that he actually lives there.

His address is not on 192, nor is his surname which I do find odd.

Whatever other relationships he is or is not having, He's Not That Into You. So you are best off forgetting about him and looking elsewhere if you want a serious relationship. Don't bother with trying to track him down or tell his wife or anything like that, there is no point.

Sounds like he doesn't want any commitment ... an MSN relationship is no proper relationship. Say you want a regular commitment, - at least once a month or every other weekend in the real world, and see what his reaction is. Good luck .. thinking of you (((hugs)))

jeez, it's all a bit too dodgy for words isnt it. He sounds like an arrogant t**t. Don't let him get away with it!!
