I understand...it is hard when you don't hear from someone and automatically think of everything negative. Just a thought and I don't know if it would help. See if he has the ability to auto reply to texts. He can set it with "I'm busy hon but I'm looking forward to tonight!" and he can change the message everyday or so so it doesn't seem like he's using it to avoid talking to you.... That way, you get a reply and you know he's thinking of you even if it's not him directly answering at the time...he DID take the time to set it because he knows it's important to you to get a reply....
