It's very hard to give the right advise without knowing more details....for example, when you say he is home 7-9 days, is that in a month? so 7-9 days per month or is that in a fortnight?
Is he working this way because of financial pressures or is it his lifestyle?
No you aren't being silly and loneliness can be very tough especially if you don't see the person you love very much.
My one niece's husband hunts pirates round the east coast of Africa and amoungst the pacific islands. She only sees him for a few days every two or three months. He brings her expensive gifts when he comes home. We all envy her, but it is a lonely life. Alas, she knew about his job before she married him!
Don't explain to anyone why your here. You have just as much right as anyone else.
I would do this: Join a club for mothers and married women that do things together. Volunteer at a nursing home to read to the old people just sitting there. Listen to their stories about "olden" things. Get into a church and bible studies. There's lots of things to do.
Your mate is just that kind of guy. That's his personality. As long as he treats you well that may be the best thing of all.
Don't be confused. Just ask him what his plans are and tell him how you feel. Keep and eye and ear out to "see" things and be aware. Like I said, he may just be that way. The answer to you questions are with him.
I'm so sorry to hear that He has been distant with you. In my opinion, when a person doesn't allow you inside his inner circle and has been distant after knowing him for few months, it usually isn't a good sign.
As Ed has said..the best thing is to talk to him about it, but if the person you are going out with won't give you concrete answers or you feel unsatisfied by what he says, then the decision becomes yours as to what do you want to do.
If you are worried about how you will cope with loneliness without him in your life, know that you are valuable and a treasure. You have the ability and the strength to expand your horizons and be with a person who will truly recognise this treasure in you!
