Long-distance
relationship are tough, no doubt about it. And because of that, it’s important
to pay attention to sign that trouble is affot. Here are five sign that it may
be time to move on:
He’s slow to return your calls
Regular
communication is the thread that keeps a long-distance relationship together.
If he fails to return calls in a timely fashion, ask him about it maybe he is
especially busy. But if he fails to give you a good reason, it could be a sign
that he is not ready for a serious, long-distance relationship.
You’re always the one to call him
This
is not a good sign. Ask him why he never calls you. It may be that the two of
you need to redefine your relationship. Maybe he thinks you’re just friends, or
maybe he’s just not interested, in which case, you have a right to know now.
He never makes any plans for the two of
you forget together
Again,
another potentially bad sign. He has to want to see you, and he has to want to
make an effort, otherwise what’s the point?
All he ever wants to do is have phone
sex with you
Then
dump him. He’s obviously not interested in a relationship, and you need to move
on.
Don’t
despair if you’ve just decided that it’s over. Just remember – there are plenty
of fish in the sea. Get back to your life – and reserve your long-distance
calls for relatives!
“Mamam’s Baby, Papa’s Maybe”
Female
sexual infidelity jeopardized the opportunity for a man to continue his gene
pool and also placed him in the unfortunate situation of raising a rival’s
children. Women do not share this problem, since they know that they are the
biological mothers of their children. One or the African cultures that Buss
studies uses the pharase, “Mama’s baby, Papa’s maybe.”
But
our ancestral mothers had other problems. Their challenge was to continue to
attract their partner so that he would stay and help to raise and protect the
children. As painful as a sexual transgression might be, what women have always
wanted to know is, “Do you love her?” If a man forns a strong emotional
attachment to another woman, he is at risk for abandoning the relationship and
his children. A meaningless one-night stand does not make him want to leave his
family.
