Do I have right to be upset?

I'm dating a guy who lives about two hours away (obviously, we don't see eachother very often) and mostly communicate via text messages throught the day or a phone call in the morning or at night. I really, really look forward to any communicatioon with him. When he says he'll call and then doesn't (and then usually sends a text HOURS later saying something like...."I'm sorry baby, crazy morning. I'll get back to you later.") I get a little pissy. He's a super busy man with his career and his two kids but is it too much to ask to follow through with your promise? I know it's just a phone call...but it means A LOT to me. And in my opinion...even a short text or quick call doesn't take more than a minute. Do I have a right to be upset (Disappointed? Pissed? Hurt?) and how can I communicate this without seeming to needy or bitchy?

Sometimes I think it's important to say how old you are...I'm 27...this is not a 14 year old "boy" issue

Just let him know how you feel. You don't have to be mean. Just relax and let him know that you like hearing from him even if its just a one minute convo it will a lot to you. Im sure he'll take it to consideration to make you happy.

ye course you do! If something upsets you then the reason is always worthwhile, as long as you aren't being fake! Have you seen high school musical 2? Same sorta problem there but with much more cheesy song and a LOT of Zac Efron...=)

Goodness...you described my situation to a tee! My boyfriend (who lives 3 hours away), will go days without messaging me / calling me. Then he'll call me a few days later with some lame excuse such as "i'm busy" or , i've been calling you for days but you haven't picked up, etc etc. Anyhow, I'm usually pissed when he does this, and I make some joke that relates to the situation such as "Too busy with life to call the one that you apparantly love" . He"ll come back with a sorry, and will not do it again for at least a month. So yes, you do have the right to be pissed, hurt, disappointed. Its takes a fraction of a second to send a text! You should tell him how you feel. If you are secure in your relationship, then he'll understand. and besides, it sucks *** to wait around for a phone call/ look at your cell continously for text messages.

you need to get over it you seem pretty demanding and thats a sure way of chaseing him away, you know what you got into now you either deal with it or find someone new

if it is hurting you then u should tell him.
it also shows ur concern

If I were in your situation I'd probably leave. If he cannot even make a phone call in his busy schedule, he'll likely not ever have time for more. Sorry...

YES! HE I CHEATING LONG DISTANCE REALIONSHIPS NEVER WORK.....HE IS TO FAR AWAY...AND IF HE REALLY LOVES U LIKE HE SAYS WE WOULD USE ALL HIS SPARE TIME TALKIN 2 U...HE WOULD EVEN SUM SEE U MORE

No you shouldn't be upset...doesn't sound like he's promising you anything...just saying he will call later...and there is no way for you to communicate that without sounding needy and or bitchy.
Look you signed on for this "long distance" relationship..and you knew how busy his life was. My question would be are you sure there is nothing else going on in his life....and how often do you actually see him? If it bothers you that much....the next time he says he'll call....just tell him to call when he has the chance....that way there wont be any expectations.

I can see why your upset set, i was in the same situation so guess what i sold everything and now we have been living together for a year and we have all the time in the world to be with one another it was the best thing i ever did

Its clearly an issue for you, so you should definetly tell him.
Maybe you should have a set time during the day when you call each other, so that its a permament part of your schedule. Its not very romantic or spontaneous, but it shows that you are a part of ech other lives.
Just tell him that as you wait for the call that doesnt arrive, you go through emotional turmoil (a high of anxious expectations followed by a low of bitter disappointment).

If you know all this about him why would it even cross your mind that he is intentionally not following through with what he says. I understand that you are frustrated, upset, and angry but would you rather have the courtesy to text or call when he gets the chance or would you rather let him have it over the phone and never get a call again. Just calm down take a deep breathe and understand that he has a demanding career obviously and 2 kids. It should not even be a subject when it comes down to the 2 kids. Take it as you have someone that not only cares but is extremely responsible. I promise you he does not mean to hurt you he just has alot of task and by the time he is done his mind is warped.
