Should I break up with him?

Hello,

I need some advice. I have been in a relationship with this guy for about three years now. Things are really on the rocks and I don't know what to do. Since January he has made no effort to spend time with me. Whenever I ask him when will be the next time I see him, he always tells me that he doesn't know because he is really busy with work. When he finally makes the effort to see me, he always backs out on his promise at the last minute; stating that he has a lot of work to do over the weekend. I once looked at him as a potential husband, but now I just don't know. Should I just stop this relationship and move on?

Have you discussed this with him? Told him that you are bothered by his backing out and not seeing each other enough? I would try working it out first.

Thanks for your response. He said that his work comes first and then his family, then afterwards I come last. He also said that he is unwilling to compromise when it comes to his work.

well then...I would happily dump him and tell him good luck finding another woman who wants to be LAST on your list. I can understanding perhaps being second behind work for a SHORT while...but behind family?

Verdict, kick him to the curb.
