Would a man get so busy that he can forget to call the woman he's in love with?

Answer 1

(All advice is generic and incomplete of necessity. Apply as fits, and use your own brains.) I'm assuming he promised to call here, otherwise see Answer below (he may just be unaware that you expect him to call).
He may have forgotten if he's the type to forget appointments (even important ones).
If not then there was some other reason for him not to call. Examples: * He doesn't like being told what to do. * He fears falling into the habit of complying to your wishes (power play). * He didn't get the opportunity (missing privacy, time...) * He wasn't in the mood, and considered it pointless or even harmful to call you in his present emotional state. * If you're not yet firmly together he may be intentionally hanging you out to dry, to see how much you love him and to assure his predominant position. * He may be just uncomfortable about talking on the phone. * He may be just uncomfortable about calling for no particular reason. (He doesn't know what to say.) * He didn't know it was important to you. * ... You seem to doubt his love because of this. If you have other reasons to do so beyond this one then either he really doesn't (then look for someone who does) or he does but doesn't express it in ways that make you FEEL loved. That's a serious problem you need to talk with him about. Ask him what signs of love he shows to you - there's likely some discrepancy between what you and he think he's showing. Tell him why you feel unloved and give some examples in past situations where you wished he had behaved differently. This will tell him what signs are important to you. It still may be that you can't adapt to each other though you're both in love because your ideas of a loving relationship differ too widely. Unfortunately, men and women weren't created the same in the emotional department, so the answer to your question is "yes!" While you are pondering the thought he should be calling you the next day and cooing at how wonderful things were the night before and how much he loves you, he's probably up to his elbows in motor oil with a big smile on his face thinking how much he loves you. Don't get bent out of shape on this one and watch, look and listen at that tiny little tick in a man's brain. If you can start to think like a man on occasion then you've won!
