@rainfrog12 wow seems like you really like him, i wonder what reason he has for not acompanying you,
Most guys would die for this behaviour from their partner
What to do you to make up to your family for the time you couldn't spend due work or etc
my parents and even grandparents are "productive" driven. If you produced then all was ok even though inside my soul life sucked. we never communicated on a deep level. I still love my family and enjoy hangin with them. i was always asking "why" in life. inquisitive. they just were not. this is in no way an attack on them. i love them dearly. things are as they should be. we would go fishing or hiking, or just eating a meal together . the important part is that you are together. a blessing some dont have at all
Call in every chance you got.ask them how they doing.tell them how you doing ask for their ideas on things you were thinking to do.that time they feel close
see them in the morning, during dinner then before i go to bed
