Dear Tanya:

I  think that you didn’t present any evidence in this thread that your boyfriend is not trustworthy. Reads  like he is a hard working man who is quite trustworthy. He works far away, seven hour difference so he had trouble making time for you, given his intense work demands and time difference. It is a good thing you stopped complaining about him not giving you more time. As you can see, that worked and he is making an effort.

You started the thread with deep distrust of him, and you still distrust him, I figure because you don’t trust people in general, or men. I’d say  proceed to get to know him, give  him the  space  you have been  giving him, so to allow him the comfort to contact you, so he does  it because  he wants to, not because  of pressure.

Keep talking, ask questions here and  there (not like an interrogator, but so to get to know him better, about his plans, including the marriage talk), and when he returns to where you live get to know him even better. And  keep posting, I wish this relationship does work out well!
