out of town boyfriend

My boyfriend is out of town on a business trip. We've been together almost a year come next month, he usually calls me everyday, even when he's out of town. He's been out of town going on three weeks now, and before he went out of town he was lovey dovey with me, but since he's been out of town his conversations have been less than 5 minutes with me and he only has been calling me every other day or every two days. What do you think about the situation and what do you think I should do?

Well, clearly he's wanting some space right now, according to his behavior. Give it to him. Don't chase him. You can be brief yourself when he calls, or maybe not even there to answer. I do not say this to suggest you play games, but when someone behaves this way, it is best not to start chasing and confronting them about it over the phone. Be attentive to how you feel now and respect your own feelings. You feel confused, a bit hurt, rejected maybe? Resepct yourself and take care of yourself now. Wait until he comes back for a face to face discussion. Some men are not able to talk about feelings with their partners and he may have been harboring other feelings about the relationship or issues that he has not handled. Now that he is away, he may feel freer to act upon them.
Take good care of yourself and let what happens next simply be revealed.
Best wishes.

I don't think you should do anything about him not calling a lot when he's gone. I don't think his feelings for you changed overnight.
