I get angry at my boyfriend when I don't see him for few days....

We both work in the same company and I see him every day.. We talk and update both of us every time and take care of each other daily.. We go home together as well.... Relationship is almost 7 months..I love him alot.. He says he likes me alot.... I am on leave and I havent seen him for 7 days now..
Last wednesday he said he is going out for dinner with family friends and coming to see me.. I was very very happy and he knows it... However we spoke until he goes into the restaurant... Then after about 2 1/2 hours i texted him and asked whether he is coming to say Hi to me.. He replied "Having a drink, other relations also came".. I was waiting for him like mad and it sounded like he will not be able to come... I got pissed off... :(
I texted showing my anger... :( He has called after another 2 1/2 hours but i was half a sleep and ddnt answer too.. Next day I showed my anger through text messages.I told him I have depression and its cz of him... :(. Actually i know i overreacted... I get angry too much for small things... He called me and told that he knows what i am going through.. He said "You have been working and busy during office days and when you take long leave you feel lonely and hopeless etc.. not to worry.. its not depression.. it has happened to me as well.. also he said he is sick of me taking out on him when i am upset for anything.... :( Finally he kept saying no point talking to me"... Since then we havent spoken... However I texted him that i am sorry yesterday night since he ddnt answer my calls...
Today i called him the usual time in the morning to wake him up.. he ddnt answer.. I reminded his Lunch.. He said "Thanks"... I told him I need to talk to him.. he texted back mentioning few updates at office that we normally share.. thats all... :(
What is this situation... How to manage these kind of things????

The fact that he's said he "likes" you; (when you've probably told him that you love him) ; means he's not ready to treat you like a partner , yet...

The fact that he didn't invite you out to dinner with his family/friends, (especially since he knows you were lonely, and depressed)  solidifies the above point.

Have you met his family ?  Do they know about you do you think ? Most parent's would be offering up a "family/friends" dinner to you, so i'm thinking that they may not know of you. Have your family and friends met him?

You mentioned that you've been dating for 7 months, and work together.  Does that mean that you met at work ?

How old are you two?

Has this been a problem in your previous relationships?  You sound a bit intense and that's probably why he is backing off.  Plus, you work at the same company..............sounds like TOO much time together as well.

Give him some space and see what happens, however, it sounds like he isn't into you and he's no longer interested.  I would take his disappearing act as he is done.

Requiring tons of together time and becoming angry when you don't get it isn't attractive and will wear on any relationship.

Hi there.  I must sadly say that I agree with some of these posts made to you.  He doesn't appear to be very into this relationship or serious about it.  I don't know how old you are but if you were in a serious relationship, wouldn't he invite you to eat with his family at the restaurant?  I don't think he sounds to have intentions of getting anymore serious with you.

And pining away for him must feel rotten.  I always encourage women to have their own activities and friends but I think the problem her is deep down you know that he doesn't care as much as you'd like him to.  

I agree that it is time to move on.  good luck

Hi, You love him and he said he likes you and he is acting out of liking not loving which consists of not being very considerate and uncareing. I would not expect this relationship to turn into something grand.

Do your relationship a big favor, give him his space and learn to love your free time away from him.  To work together and spend a lot of time together can seem great at first, but eventually it can take it's toll on the relationship ~ moderation is the key.  He could be feeling smothered or suffocated by the texts and anger you've been showing him lately, which could be why he is backing away. He might feel that you don't completely trust him when he is away from you, and that may make him feel apprehensive about continuing further with your relationship.  Nothing can destroy a relationship faster than a lack of trust. Both of you had separate social lives before you became involved, there is no reason why both of you can't still enjoy company with other friends and relations.

There's truth in the saying, 'absence makes the heart grow fonder'; you will appreciate each other more when you aren't constantly with one another. Taking breaks away doesn't mean you care for each other any less. Schedule time away from each other a few days out of the week; it can be refreshing for both of you to have a little break from the daily routine.  Stay positive and do your best not to focus on negativity when you are with him and in contact w/him.  Being in a relationship should be enjoyable for both of you, not a burden.

Take Care and Good Luck

I most relationships,  one person cares more and the other cares less.   Usually they amount of caring is more equal than in your relationship.  

I don't see this going anywhere - he doesn't feel the same way about you as you do about him,  and you will continue to feel desperate and behave in desperate ways.

Move on,  and find someone who loves you.
