Four months of dating and he just stops calling?

I met a guy online over four months ago. We took things very slow from the start...emailed for over a month before meeting up and making sure not to get too physical too soon. We both have children and I felt like we were both on the same page about wanting a mature relationship. It honestly felt like my first "adult" relationship. Lord knows what took me 24 years to get here but thats another thread for another time! :laugh:

 

The only downfall I can say is that we were both noticably emotionally guarded about the "serious" stuff. I figured this was a combination of the newness of the relationship and partly to do with our emotional backgrounds: he was abandoned by his father and I grew up in an alcoholic household. Aka, we are both slow to trust.

 

Anyways, I was slowly letting my guard down with him. On Monday of this week I expressed my discomfort with our plans always being "up in the air" and not solidified. I wanted to know if we were going to hang out this Wednesday night, he said he didn't know if he'd have his son or not. I explained that I'm not the type of girl to wait around on a maybe so I'd like to know now. His response was "If you need to know now then I'm just going to say, yes I'm having my son over that night." I said thats fine, all I wanted to know. There was more to the conversation but it was decided that I am the type who enjoys an itinerary where he prefers to fly by the seat of his pants. Fine, at least we are aware now. The reason I am even mentioning this whole conversation is because I believe it may have somthing to do with him not calling. He was noticably defensive throughout the whole thing...Like I was challenging him or something (which I wasn't) and trying to invade his space (which I was not).

 

Before we hung up he said, "Well I'll still call you on Wednesday afternoon and let you know."

 

Did I ever get that call? NO. Its now Thursday evening and nothing. I don't know if this is something I can get over. It seems the minute I brought up a serious topic he got uneasy and is becoming disrespectful. Any insights please?

Maybe I should have mentioned this is the third time now he has done this to me. Said he was gonna call a certain day/time and didn't.

 

To be honest this screams disrespect in my book...or at the very least a serious lack of caring for my feelings

 

Why should I call him? If I do it's like I'm excusing this behavior.
