Long Distance Boyfriend Refuses to bring cell phone home...

[Sephorelle]

Hi there,

My boyfriend and I were together for three beautifull promising years before he moved away to Alberta for 11 months to make some money in construction, so him and I could get a home together...In this time, he had 4 visits home, and each time he refused to bring his cell phone back with him, even when he was going to be driving back for 13 hours on his own, his mother begged him to bring it so he could keep in touch but instead, he borrowed his Mother's and shipped it back to her when he got back. He said the reason he didn't bring it was because he didn't want his work to bother him, or that he just didn't want anyone to bother him. (Obviously his work knows he's home for a visit...so why would they call?) Anyway...he was to be home for good Aug. 1 but a month ago he broke up with me informing me he would me staying out there and would not be coming home. Our best friends are getting married this weekend and we are both in the wedding party and so ofcourse he is home for a visit...and guess what he brought? His cell phone...I can't believe that he would have had a thing on the side because I think I would have a gut feeling that something wasn't right, and he assured me that wasn't the case at all...what does this seem like to you?

 

Thanks!!

Seems like he met someone, and in an effort to keep his life with her separate from his life with you he left the cell phone home in case she was trying to call him. The only other thing I can think of is that he wanted to avoid being called by his place of work while he was visiting you, but when it comes right down to it - when a guy does something like that, and its paired with a breakup there is a pretty good chance that there is someone else, or soon will be.

Unfortunately, that's what I was thinking too. I know it sucks. Hopefully he'll have enough decency not to bring her to the wedding!

I think we all know what's been going on here.

 

Don't dwell on it, one loser out of your life, plenty more in the sea!

 

uhh, that didn't come out right.

:lmao:Too funny..yeah, plenty more losers where he came from!

 

Anyway, I think you DID have a gut feeling that something wasn't right. You said you didn't but if you didn't why did you even bother to ask him about it? See what I mean? I'm so sorry but I agree with the others. Something's going on with him and if it's not another woman, then it's just that he wants to break up with you. A guy who doesn't want to lose you, doesn't act like that.

All he had to do was to set his phone on silent or vibrate. This way he could screen his calls, if they were work-related. I think your gut instinct pegged this one dead on. No one leaves their cell phone behind for ridiculous reasons.

I'm sorry to hear about the break up...

I hope things get better for you, though

 

I'm also glad that you don't seem hopeless about a new relationship

 

What I think about it, a cellphone has a few, significant uses:

- Emergencies

- Be able to contact someone when they are away from a land line.

- Job related

- On the spur of the moment camera! (Okay, that one is only mine. )

 

And there obviously is something up if he refuses to take it with him, I mean it should be like another limb to a person. It's quite the device.

I'm sorry to say it though ... :/

 

Good luck
