He does know that I'd like him to call. I mentioned it to him when he first told me he was leaving, and he said he would. Then, in one of his texts to me, he said he still needed to get a phone card and that he'd call at some point (he volunteered this; I didn't say anything more about him calling after the first conversation). That was about five days ago. Now, I know he's busy, but I'm just the kind of person who'd find the time.

He is not staying in one place while he's there...in fact, they've been traveling this entire week and he only has his phone (rather than his laptop). I'm sure this is part of the issue but, again, I would have found a way.

It's interesting to hear gayleggg say that she's more like my boyfriend. So, it sounds like it may just be a difference in personality types. I also think my boyfriend has ADD, although he's never been officially diagnosed....he can be very scattered but he's also stubborn about doing things he doesn't want to do. He knows that I'd like him to call me, but I'm just not sure he really gets that it's important to me since it's not that important to him. Two weeks away is a very short trip for him...he was away for a month the last two times he went back home, which is about once a year.

If he's just busy and having fun or working hard, I'm basically okay with it (disappointed but okay). But, I am starting to get a bit of anxiety that he really just does not want to talk to me. Which, of course, is a bigger issue.
