If i'm the one who makes first contact in the mornings to say hello, am I being the weak one, or would he have got in touch anyway?
If I say 'I miss you' and he replies 'I'm looking forward to seeing you' should I be pleased or wonder why he's stopped saying 'I miss you too'?
If I asked for his help on something but he didn't get back to me would I be right to be annoyed? Or if he then explained it was because he had been really busy with classes, would me being annoyed just annoy him?
Is saying to him that I don't feel like he's making the effort fair enough, or is it nagging?
If he is feeling down and 'swamped' with the things that are going on in his life, is that just a lame cop out or it is fair enough to make excuses?
Is it me that's making *too much* effort, is it because I worry if I don't, he won't either?
Should I let things wash over me, be less uptight, and go with the flow, or does that give him carte blanche to treat me like crap?
Do the little things matter or should I focus on the bigger picture?
Should the fact he is not 'happy about' seeing me on weeknights (in case I don't get back 100 miles to work in time) be taken as a sign that he is mature and considerate or should I be upset and wonder why he doesn't want to see me any and every minute that he can dammit?
Am I being too forward and expecting too much or should I just relax?
Is it normal that I think of him all the time but have a sneaking suspicion he doesn't feel the same? (cos if he did, he'd let me know, right?)
Am I being fair to myself? Or unfair to him?
I don't know where to position myself. I don't know what I should expect. I really don't know how to play this game.

I've been there a time or two since I'm on my 3rd marriage. I'm here to tell you he doesn't want you enough. He doesn't appreciate you enough.
There is someone out there who will love you for you and will want all those things you talk about... and you will never have enough minutes in the day together.
