We have been going out for six months. I am 26, he’s 28, and we have broken up about 1.5 months ago, and he practically begged to have me back, and now we are in exactly the same mess we were. Just like our last time we dated, everything was rosy for the first half of the relationship, and then everything fell apart.

I love him. My challenge is the fact that although he’s not talking of leaving me, and insists that he won’t be with me, I can’t be with someone who doesn’t act like they want to see me, or cannot see me/talk to me for four days.

Finally, yesterday I cracked it at him because he hadn’t returned any of my texts or called me since Sunday (come on, we are in a mature relationship, I’d expect we’d at least talk every second day...am I being unreasonable!!??) He came out with the fact that he’d just lost $50k in the stock market over night and was disappointed that I hadn’t been in touch (how could I have known?)

I desperately need your help – any advice (feel free to e-mail/msg for more details)?? How can I prove to him that I A - Genuinely want to make this work. and B - Am trying, as much, if not more than he is to make it work (he doesn't see my efforts). How should I approach him?

Many Thanks in advance,

P.
