He's in the army reserves until December until he goes to flight school to become a pilot. Everything was good in our relationship until recently when he had to go away for 7 weeks to officer training school and airborne school. We didn't get to talk for the first five weeks and when we got the opportunity to talk he couldn't stop telling me how much he missed me and how much he loved me. Then when he came back home it was like he wasn't excited to see me like I thought he was going to be.Then I started knowing differences with him,....before he left we would talk 3 times a day and see each other on Friday and Saturday and go to church on Sunday together since we both had classes and we put school first. Now since he's been back, he calls me before he goes to sleep at night and we talk for about 10 minutes and we see each other on Fridays.On Saturdays when I ask him if he wants to do anything he says "sure" and that he'll call me back and then he never does until he's about to go to sleep.I feel like he's trying to avoid me and every time I ask him about it he says that he doesn't think that it's a big deal and I feel stupid for bringing it up.What should I do?

On the other hand don't let him just keep you hanging on. Nagging him however, will just push him away. socialize with your friends and let him know you're not sitting home waiting for your calls. Sometimes people take eachother for granted when they know it's a sure thing...let him wonder about YOU for awhile!
