I've been there, done that! I was married to a guy from England. I had a problem with my paperwork to stay over there and had to return home. We lived that way for two years.

The difference here is he liked his freedom too much. Before I left England he spent more time in the pub than with me. So of course the problem was me wanting him too much. When he asked for space I wanted to know how much space was enough when he had an ocean between us already.

I gave him my trust and his freedom till I was tired of waiting on him. We ended up divorcing in 2009. I put it down to the fact that we might never have ever been in love for the whole 6 years we were living together.

I'm sure you are in a different situation. I can only say that if you enjoy a day out but think about him it's ok as that is norma. He most likely is the same and maybe feels bad he can't give you the time your begging him for.
