Sound like you both have trouble with being yourselves? If you're doing something "childish" in front of his house and feel he's giving you his left overs, how you are approaching him might be as much a problem for you and his not knowing what he wants?

Other people can't make us happy; that's not their job. Their job is to make themselves happy and, in doing that, if we are on the same/similar page and working on making ourselves happy, we meet. If he is travelling and you don't want to, presumably you are doing something else besides travelling, something you enjoy! If all he's doing is travelling and you don't want to travel, you probably don't want to be with him.

He should not feel "guilty" for doing what he wants. He's in charge of his life and it comes first in his priorities. He does have to figure out the proportions of travelling versus being with you, not travelling (if you refuse to travel with him/don't want to travel in your own life) and that could take some independent thinking on his part, just as you would use the week you were apart to think about what you wanted your life to be like for you (not with him, but with yourself).
