MissWendlemoot agony auntYes follow your gut on this. Some people have the habit of workaholic and they never stop. Some people are not capable of being romantic.

Both of these thing would make for a very lonely relationship for you.

Best wishes

Before you give up, have you tried to tell him what is bothering you? Give him specifics. If you tell him that you expect him to spend a minimum of 14 non-sleeping hours interacting with you a week, and that you expect a minimum of, say, 1 romantic surprise a month-- he may laugh, but he may be glad to have clear instructions on how to make you happy. If he gets defensive or tries to bargain, let him how lucky he is to find a girl who tells it to him straight and doesn't expect him to read her mind.

In fairness, you should also ask him if he has any needs that you are not fulfilling for him.

Sounds like he is letting you go. With my ex I was a workaholic. Never remembered anniversaries, birthdays etc. Totally different now. Never forgEt, and have to force myself away from her. Worked so much before as an excuse to get away from her.

I strongly suggest you do follow your gut feeling and move on. Why waste time! You are not "into" each other enough!

Better luck next time.
