We both live in 2 different cities, good thing about that is that my parents live in the city that he resides, so I can always visit and see him anytime I like..so the distance really isn't a problem. It seemed like we kinda got along better that way because I was busy with my family matters at home.

So I'm here in Chicago and I practically tried to spend half of my whole summer with him. After a week of us seeing each other we split. He said he needed to "find himself"...I was really hurt because he promised never to "leave me" and to be here for the "long run"...

After a few weeks we began talking again and needless to say we are back together. Time is winding down for me to go back home and I really want to see him and spend time with him. I know he has his other obligations, but it always seem that he makes plans to do other thins between these obligations. I WANNA BE HIS PRIORITY TOO!..It's like I'm always on the backburner, I always find myself crying and wondering what he doing and etc. Things just aren't the same anymore, and I don't wanna feel like I'm needy..I love him a whole lot and I'm trying to be understanding. I just thought since I'm 15 mins away that he would want to see me, instead of 8 hours away and he can't see me at all...

I'm not trying to be needy...but I miss him..I discussed this with him, and he knows he can do better. He said this, but nothing has changed.

VictorM's advice:

You would think that a guy who's into you would make you his priority, right? So why isn't he?

Did you actually believe him when he said he'd never leave? I suspect you did, because you sound amazingly naive and unable to deal with the facts before you.

The problem here isn't what he can and can't do; the problem is your inability to face the obvious: he simply isn't into you as you're into him. He's not motivated to do better because he doesn't care enough about you.

When he said he went to find himself (did you believe that too?) what he meant was he was going to find someone he could care for more. He didn't find anyone so he's back with you.

I doubt he will stay for long.
