At times in our lives, we each experience problems in our relationships, in dating or meeting people. Sometimes these relationship problems can be small ones and sometimes they can be major ones. We can all use a little help and advice in dealing with these problems. One of the best ways of seeking help is to talk about or share your problems. Here, we give you the chance to tell us about your problem.

Will He Ever Call Again?

Been with my boyfriend for a few weeks now but the other day a relative of his
was rushed into hospital. i didn't hear from him for a few days and then he txt
me and said he was having personal problems and would be in contact if he sorted
them out. I feel quite hurt that he feels he cant share his problems with me and
has just shut me out completely. I hate sitting around waiting for the phone to ring, i have no idea what is going on with him or whether he will ever call again.
What can i do?

From your message, we can sense that you are feeling vulnerable and uncertain. Let us start by looking at the facts. You say you have been with your boyfriend for a few weeks; so this relationship is still fairly new. Your boyfriend's relative has been rushed into hospital; so it would seem your boyfriend may be hurting emotionally too.

You say you did not hear from him for a few days, this would seem reasonable considering it was his relative in hospital and your relationship is still new. He did contact you by txt message. So he has not forgotten you completely.

You say you feel hurt because he cannot share problems with you. Perhaps your relationship is still too new for him to feel secure enough to do this. A relative in hospital can be a serious issue and something to be shared with family and close relations only. You may have to accept that your relationship is just not close enough yet!

When men have a problem they tend to go into their shells and brood on it in order to come up with possible solutions. He is not really shutting you out, it is just his way of handling problems. To understand this behavior better and to understand men better, we'd suggest you read "en are from Mars ..." which will explain his behavior better.

In the mean time, just hang on and let him know that you are there for him. Do not put him under pressure but try to offer your support for him. At this stage of your relationship you do not have a right to know what is going on; that will come later. But if you let him know that you are there for him and offer your support, it could be the basis of building a closer, stronger relationship.
