I have been going out with this awesome guy for about six months and we get along great. The only problem is is that he lives about 30 minutes away so we only get to see each other on the weekends unless we go to each other's games during the week.

So on the weekends we get together but whenever we are together his friends are always texting him and asking him when he is coming home. This really bothers me and I don't know what to do. I feel like I am keeping him from his friends but he says I am not. Plus they see him every day and I don't. Should I be worried about this or should I let it slide? Is there something I am doing wrong? Please help!

I totally get where you're coming from. My boyfriend's friends are always dragging him out during our quality time together, too. So, you only have one or two days each week to hang out with him, huh? You might have to put your foot down and come up with a solution to sway most of his attention over to you for that short period of time. It took some courage, but I finally came to a compromise that I think might work with you and your guy, too.

Since you only get to spend time with your boy on the weekends, why not ditch both of your cell phones? Take both of your phones and put them deep in your bag, or pocket, or some other place you can't always see them. This way, it isn't a temptation when his friends call to ask where he is, or your friends call to tell you about a huge sale, or
anything else.

Hey, the truth is, a long distance relationship can be hard work. See if he would be willing to drop communication with his boys for just a few hours of your time. If your guy is willing to put his friends on hold to spend some time with you, then you know he is serious about staying together. Good luck!
