I have been with a man for 6years, never lived together but saw each other everyday. Suddenly there is no work in NJ so he goes back to his home town, Long Island. I have not seen him since Aug 07.
He calls noe and then to say Hi . No valentine card no I love you though he said when we were together. any advice, be honest!

Well all I can say is he seems to only want to be friends from this standpoint. I would leave it as is and move on. He obviously is not making any plans for the future with you in the romantic sense. Maybe I have the wrong impression of the situation, but I don't believe so.

He hasn't made the effort to come and see you and calls once in awhile...Sounds to me like he has either just plain lost interest or he has met someone else to take up his time...Life's too short...obviously you deserve better from someone you have had a 6 year relationship with...I would say end it and find someone who loves you as much as you deserve to be loved!!!!!!!!!

I agree that you need to talk it all out, openly and frankly. If he doesn't want to do that or doesn't give answers that make you feel comfortable and satisfied, I'd say move on too. It really does look like things have changed for him--someone who loves you would make much over effort than you are describing--August! That's almost a year. Why are you being so patient?

yes i agree but she needs to ask him instead of waiting...If she is Worried then she needs to get his full attention and talk it out...If he is not willing then i think she knows what the next step she must take...I wish her all the best..It will be a hard road to take again

What kind of relationship did you have for 6 years of seeing each other every day?dunno

How come it went no further, usually people make commitments etc after a certain period of time.

6 years is a long time to just be seeing each other.

I don't get it, it's a puzzleconfused

Actions do speak louder than words, even talking to him wouldn't do much good without actions backing it. Judging from what you've said of his actions, it looks like he's moved on. You could talk to him about it, and maybe try to understand, but it's pretty clear.bouquet of flowers

Forget him. It's the old "maybe if I move and don't see her she'll take the hint" ploy. A man's lips cannot form the words "I'm not interested."
