So I've been with my bf for about a year, almost two. We've had our ups and downs but we worked through everything. We live[d] together and everything was going great....

Well a few months ago his father died. He couldn't attend the funeral because it was in Mexico and due to his residential status here in the US he could not go to Mexico and then come back to the US. Then his mother (not in good health as is) begin to have major health complications and every day she would cry on the phone wondering when she would see her son and if she would see him before she died. My bf was feeling quilty (and his mom was over doing the guilt trip I suspect) and really wanted to see his mother... Not being able to see his father or pay his last respects when he died was hard on my bf.

After we had a few discussions he decided when he would go back to Mexico and I decided to go back with him. Although my thought was to fly his mother here to the US but he thought she was too ill for that...

So we went to Mexico (not my cup of tea btw), I met his family (nice people), his mother who to me looked like she could fly around the globe (as she is always in the street going somewhere) was quite the character, had an accident in my Land Rover (we made it a road trip) and in returning to "America" had a tearful good bye with my bf. We are going to stay together but I don't believe in LDR for a LONG time, and have had an LDR that left me really frazzled so I'm not sure if I'm setting myself up for heart ache again. But I love him and he loves me so I think[thought] it's worth a shot.

A few weeks have gone by and things aren't going so great. I'm the caller! He hardly ever calls and he always rushes me off the phone for whatever reason EVERY time I call. We both got nextel for unlimited international but my nextel phone is just another unnecessary expense, it rings so seldomly that when it did ring it nearly scared the crap out of me... I didn't know what it was. And he seems to be settling in his life there. Going to parties, always out and about and I'm like "Uhm aren't you there to take care of your mother?" I went out once with my best friend to drink (after work drink) and talk about my relationship and he had a problem with that wtf?

Should I end it? I don't feel a connection with him he seems so detached and I don't feel his effort. Meanwhile he went to Mexico with no job prospects and I'm the unappreciated but loving benefactor helping him out economically, and I'm tieing up all the loose ends he left when he ... left her: his truck, his USA cell phone, his clothes. But he's too busy to talk to me? But he loves me and misses me? But ..... Hmm

Tried to truncate this where I could... :(
 
Blood is thicker than semen.

Jokes.. but seriously, family is super important to some people.. and when you know your mom is suffering, big time, some people can't put that aside.

I think you get all this, but your issue is with the fact that he doesn't seem to be putting much effort into maintaining the connection.. yes?
 
Well... ask yourself this: If you were a straight married couple, would you have accepted your spouse moving to another country at his mother's behest? Would you have returned to the US leaving your spouse in another country if you were a straight married couple?

It seems that he made a choice and so did you.

It's time for you both to either make a commitment or go your separate ways.
 
I agree with you 100% either accept the decisions made or call it quits.

I accepted the decisions and we decided to stay together but it isn't what I "envisioned" iono

We shall see.
 
Well, either way... good luck. LDRs are tough. Let us know how it goes.
 
I think you have every right to be upset. He doesn't seem like he's acting like a boyfriend to me. I would move on.

I also don't get the out partying thing when he's supposed to be taking care of his mom.
