What to say, what to say?
These past few days have been pretty intense: dANIEL stayed with me till Sunday morning and in the afternoon I went out with a friend of mine to finally catch some tan… actually we "caught" more rain than sun, but hell if it was fun seeing those huge dark clouds and all those lightning across the horizon ending up in the sea!

You could see my friend and I gather all our stuff and run to seek some refuge under a funny gazebo built as a little playground for kids… that was hilarious!
And obviously as soon as were back on the sea front with our bath towels and backpacks the rain was ready to start falling again. But we persevered and the reward has been a beautiful pre-sunset  with some incredible clouds choreography, a few sailing boats, the lighthouse doing its perpetual work and the lights of the city slowly appearing here and there.

I was glad she asked me to join her because I seriously needed NOT to think too much, the main thought being something to do with dANIEL and our VERY different points of view on a few matters. Now, here is the deal: he wants to go on vacation with a friend of his and do a long trip by bike which should take approximately two weeks. Where's the problem? The problem is that I'd like to hear from him every day as we're used to, even if just for a minute, just to know that he's okay and let him know I'm okay.
BUT... he was ready to leave without his mobile or, in case, take it with him without using it if not to turn it on in the evening just to see if something bad has happened back home. This left me quite puzzled.
When I asked for some explanation as to why he didn't want to hear from me or anyone else for two whole weeks he told me that the spirit of the trip in itself required that sort of distance from daily stuff. I disagreed. I can only consider this as something that I have to stand, living it as an imposition that I find wrong and unnecessary. And knowing he wants to know from me only if I'm in trouble makes me feel even worse.
It's quite frustrating that while I wouldn't want nothing more than being able to spend some "quality time" with him, he rather goes on a trip with his friend, and in AUGUST, when I will be free from any job limitations and in need of distraction to get rid of negative thoughts about being unemployed again, and who knows for how long.
I know I don't have to count on him too much, and I'm quite careful on those kind of matters because the last thing I want is to find myself entrapped in a morbid addictive relationship  but I guess it's quite human wanting to spend the only available month in Summer with my boyfriend, rather than with someone else, though I treasure my friends' company very much… they're just different things.
If anyone wants to drop a comment about this I'd really appreciate it since I need some advice.
P.S.: by the way, I fulfilled my little dream about the swing on Saturday... yeah, it was fun!

I can see both your point and his. Perhaps you could reach a compromise about talking every other day. I can see where it isn't that he wants to really only hear from you if you are in trouble. You can still leave him voicemail to let him know your goings on and the like. I wish you the best of luck with this.
