Ladies & Gents: Am I Overreacting About This Situation With My Boyfriend?

I live in Miami, and am in a long distance relationship (about 15 hours) away from my boyfriend. He says he will not be able to visit me that often, which I understand because it is extremely far. I found out that he visited Miami for a trip with his roommate. I am upset that we were in the same city and he made no effort to hang out with me and he didn t even tell me he came to Miami- his roommate did (a week after they left). I definitely did not want to take up his time with hisroommate, but I feel like that would have been a great opportunity to see each other since it will be months before we meet up again. This is just a big read flag to be when it comes to his concern, care, love for me and our relationship. Am I overreacting or is this a valid reason to be angry with him? I appreciate both female and Male responses. Thanks!

    I would have dumped my boyfriend's a$$ then and there had he done that to me. Stop trying to justify yourself, you have every right to be pissed off so no justification is required. You are absolutely right to think that his care for your relationship is quesrionable, and I have the answer. He doesnt give a rat's furry behind. Find someone who will actually give you the time of day.

    Long distance relationships are almost always a huge fail. And if the guy was close by and didn't bother to spend time with you? That tells you how much he values the relationship he has with you.

    I wouldn't bother with him anymore.

    I almost always take the guys side on here, but that is definitely a messed up thing to do. I think that is indicative of big issues between you two. Serious concerns about his commitment after a stunt like that.

    It's one thing to come to Miami and want to be on a boys trip with his friend, but to not tell you he was even there is a HUGE concern.

    That's not a big red flag, that's a flashing sign saying NOPE. Your "boyfriend" lives 15 hrs away but visits a friend in your town - you not only don't see him, but his friend tells you about it after the fact? Not your boyfriend anymore. It's a dream that just came crashing down around you.

    You won't like this.

    If you live 15 hours apart, and don't have the funds to see one another regularly, you don't have a romance. You have a pen pal. This would be true if you lived two hours apart, IF you can't visit one another and spend time together.

    I'm widowed. I started dating again in my fifties. There was a fellow who wanted to date me but he lived two hours away. He could come up every other weekend, and suggested I drive down to see him on the alternate weekends. Realistically, I couldn't afford him as a boyfriend. I really couldn't afford the wear and tear on my car, on ME, doing that twice a month. I wanted a REAL relationship, with a person I could have picnics with, go to movies, fix dinner with, attend the county fair, whatever.

    What do you two do, Skype one another every night? You may as well have a crush on a movie star, and fantasize about him. You'll spend as much time with George Clooney as your boyfriend. And George won't disappoint you.

    No, not over-reacting. He blew you off. You deserve better.

    His amorous inclinations towards you come and go. It would seem that he isn't interested in visiting you "that often". Not even when he's in town. I think he has become a waste of your time and energy. He's not your boyfriend anymore.
