Wishing I could spend more time with him...

Asking myself why is it that when bf and I have the chance to spend a whole night together, when dd goes to her dad's (twice a month or so), so often bf isn't free.

He rarely explains. When he does, his explanations don't leave me feeling happier. Because it doesn't change the fact that he chose to do something else...

This conflicts with the fact that he regularly tells me how much he misses me...

I haven't told him how this troubles me. I don't want to appear clingy. I don't own him. But it's getting to the point that I feel I must address this in some way. I don't want to spend so much of my time feeling sad and confused.

Do I raise this with him? And how? Thanks.

Can't you just ask him to keep those two nights a month free?

Yes, that would be the simple solution! But I suppose I like it when he initiates seeing me; that way I know he really wants to see me, as opposed to feeling obliged. Also, it could be that he is wary of commitment (even though in other ways he does act as though committed). Maybe his reluctance to see me according to a regular schedule is part of that...

You are waaaaaaay over-thinking this.

Sometimes I am glad I was born a simple soul

Men are generally quite stupid, think you need to tell him how you feel.
