Hi I'm kinda new here but I've been a lurker for awhile and I've immensely enjoyed being on this site but have just been to shy to say hi. So hello everyone! 
So many of you seem to have much more experience in handling LDRs and I was wondering if any of you guys could help me. So if you're willing to listen, here's the story. I've been together with my SO for almost 3 years (from Oct. 2009) and we've been in a LDR since May 2010 when I graduated from uni (we met there). We have visited each other 3 times since then. Well we both are straight out of uni so while I'm still looking for a job he got one in Dec last year. Being together has been tough because he's gotten so busy with work and it's been hectic for him. I've given him space and been understanding of the situation, not really pushing him though I might have cracked him a few times (my patience isn't that great! But we made it through! )
The thing is, the past 3 months or so, he's just been extremely busy that I feel like he's just neglecting us. He doesn't call me anymore and barely msgs me goodnight, let alone during the day. We pretty much don't talk during the week cause of his work so we kinda push the talking to the weekend, but then he always winds up doing something or another during the weekend too, so technically we never really talk now. It really winds me up. I have to be the one making the effort to call him or msg him almost all the time. I have talked to him about this a few times and in the beginning he just said he was busy and would make time for us later. I accepted and pretty much just waited for him. But the past month, he's just lost. I've talked to him about how he feels about us and he says he doesn't know what to do with his life anymore and he's just as confused with us. Things are going pretty well for him yet to him it's not enough. He's unsure of what he wants and I'm being pulled into this whirlwind of emotions that I pretty much don't know what to do. I straight up asked him if he still wanted me. He told me that he misses me and all the good times we had and stuff. I know he loves me and I love him too yet I'm so annoyed with him too. I told him that maybe it's time he looked for someone else. The last time we met was in February and it sounds like he misses having companionship and just someone to be with around physically to hug and give him affection. He's finding it hard dealing with a LDR so technically it wouldn't matter if its me or some other girl giving him this affection. It would be the same to him... Sigh. He says he doesn't want it and I believe him cause he's not type of guy to just go out like that. I know he's been needing a break from work but he keeps pushing it later instead of taking some of his off-days from work. It's like he whines about how tough and busy it is yet doesn't bother taking a break thus neglecting everything else in his life!
It's been this way for a long time now and I'm just sick and tired of it! At times I feel like breaking up with him because it looks like there isn't a future and I'm just getting dragged down by him... but at the same time the memories and the fact that I've never met anyone like him makes me want to stay. I've almost broken up with him a few times but each time he tells me he loves me and he can't pretty much live without me and pretty much whispers sweet things that make me melt and give in to staying. But now, it just feels different. And I don't know what to do anymore. I'm just so frustrated and lonely and missing him and so pissed off at him all at the same time. I just want to escape from it all yet I don't want to lose it all either. It seems like a waste to let go.
Eugh! Just so confused and don't know what to do. It's like a stalemate. I'm sorry this is so long and thank you for listening! Any advice for this confused lost girl would be greatly appreciated.
