In the process of moving out at the moment. The woman makes well into six figures and has no money problems. There will be no issues for her. We both do very well financially so money won't be a problem for either of us.. Decided to leave the mother out of it. Don't need any more headaches. Told the GF what I was doing. She is not happy. Told me I had to wait until she got back so we could talk. Told her nothing to talk about. As someone suggested, this is not going to go well. will be long gone before she gets home.
I'm not following you. First you tell OP he is seriously needy (basically saying his desire for communication is the problem). Then you say the gf is not making OP a priority in her life (agreed. THAT is the problem). Then you say that you always send a message to your wide that you arrived safely---so why is it "needy" for OP to want that?
When my hub is out of town (which is frequent, unfortunately), we talk minimum 3 times a day (morning, mid-day, bedtime, sometimes more, often brief calls but a connection), with a few sweet little text messages scattered throughout the day. We both love and appreciate the frequent communication.
You missed my point. If she gave a rip, she'd communicate. But he's essentially sitting by the phone and whining about her not calling him--smothering this woman. My point is that if she actually cared all that much about him, she would reach out.

Yeah, I think the OP did the right thing. Went through something shockingly similar to this years back, except it didn't drag out so long and I kicked HER out.
I don't know how serious your are, but my two cents. When I am on business trips, I am very busy. Usually it involves waking up at 5:30 am working out, getting ready and then head into meetings. As soon as the meetings end, up to my room for a quick change and out to client dinners. I'll get back to my hotel room 11/12 at night. I maybe have ten to fifteen minutes of down time.
I try and call or quickly text my family, but it doesn't always happen. It's exhausting. It has nothing to do with missing my family or not valuing them, it has to do with truly not having time. I think you are taking this way too personally. This is either something you can deal with or not.

I am an IT consultant, I travel quite a bit. I make a point to take a few minutes to send quick texts or emails throughout the day. I think it's very disingenuous to say otherwise. I bet you reply to work emails within a few minutes of getting them... to me texts from the SO are just as important

No, no, and no. It takes 15 seconds to compose an "I love you" text, and maybe 5 minutes for a quick call. A neurosurgeon operating on the President could make that happen.

Exactly. I know some people feel they don't need to respond, or feel that people wanting at least a daily text are needy, please

You can't shave a few minutes from your workout? Priorities.
I have never in my life seen someone so busy from wakeup to sleep that they can't spare ten minutes. How do you ever manage to go to the bathroom?

Wow. IS this my ex GF talking?? Lol. This sounds EXACTLY like something she used to say. Then, my question would always be something along the lines of "saw you posted on FB you were in the bar from 9pm to 2am....you couldn't have taken a moment then, on a bathroom break to at least touch base?" and she would say no...too busy. I had people with me. Moot point anymore. I'm gone.
