Am I giving him TOO MUCH space?

Hello All,

My boyfriend and I go through a cycle about once every 2 months—he says he needs space, I respect it and don’t talk for a few days even though its torturous- and when Im finally ready to dump his *** for putting me through so much silence he comes around and is all in love with me again (man in his cave syndrome)

Were both in college, and long distance almost all the time. He just had an internship, had the best time ever, and I would visit him about once a week in NYC (it was only 2 hrs away)---this week he has finally come home – but before he even got home he gave me a huge attitude on the phone and was like “just leave me alone ill call you when I get home”

The brat still hasn’t called me – not only that, but he posted this picture of him and this hott girl dressed nice at a restaurant together online for everyone to see! I can deal with the “ I need space” crap.. but I want to vomit over this. How could he do something like that when I am already dreading not being able to see each other??

I hate resorting to YA (I know its pathetic) but this has been on my mind and I don’t like talking to any of my family about it. Ive been trying to keep myself busy and wait it out but I just want to scream and dump him. Am I really being just a fallback girl waiting for his selfish *** or doing the right thing by giving him space for a few days?

The longer this takes ,the longer Im thinking THIS REALLY ISNT FAIR! I mean, he could come home, say hi, and THEN chill with other friends right? Why is that so hard? Why does he want to make me cry? I did nothing wrong!!!Am I giving him TOO MUCH space?
The space itself is completely normal, but the attitude he keeps giving you and the fact that he posted a picture of himself with some hot girl.. It doesn't sound quite right to me. When he does contact you, you should have a talk with him. If he is defensive about the girl, or he keeps being a jerk, something is probably going on.Am I giving him TOO MUCH space?
You can't blame a guy for needing a change of scenery every couple of months. If anything, it will help strengthen your relationship and make you guys closer.
