Whenever my boyfriend calls I almost always pick up or call him back shortly after if I miss it. Every time I call him however, he rarely answers and sometimes doesn't call me back at all. For example I called him at 7pm today and he texted me at 10pm "Rosiee." He didn't even call back!

I've expressed to him in the past that I expect him to call me back if I call him or at least tell me he will tomorrow but he still doesn't. I feel like he takes advantage of me and my time. What should I do? Or am I overreacting?

Sounds like he doesn't care much about your preferences.

You should decide if you want to continue to be treated like this then make a decision as to how you are going to proceed in your life.

I need to figure out if I'm being over sensitive. He tells that he doesn't have a lot of free time but I also have a hard time believing that he's so busy. How do you know when he's truly busy or if it's becoming an excuse?

In my experience, if a man wants you, you KNOW it. You don't have to wonder.

The question is how do YOU know, he is your boyfriend, you know him, does he know he is your boyfriend?
I'm old and married and don't get hung up on "OMGoodness, it's been 30 seconds and he hasn't texted/called/email/twitted/snapped/etc yet, what should I do". Sometimes I don't hear from Mr. CSD for anywhere from one hour to several days.

Thanks for that. He does call me back sometimes, but then I find myself in a situation where he doesn't and I'm ticked off again. If I bring this up to him again, I'll know he'll be like "Well I call back most of the time I just forget sometimes or get distracted."

How do I respond to something like that?

Well I don't know. We live 45 minutes apart and I don't know what he does some nights especially ones like tonight when we don't really communicate or he doesn't call me back.
