Don't believe it when someone says he or she is too busy. Recognize that this individual does not prioritize you. And maybe the next time he or she wants to visit you, you won't be able to since you'll be too busy. You'll have discovered someone who makes time exclusively for you, like you deserve. Busy people have no time for anything else but their work and their friends. If you find yourself caught in the middle, stop putting up with it and look for another partner in crime. Someone who doesn't require as much attention or love as you do should be easy to find. The truth is that you shouldn't put up with being treated disrespectfully by anyone, especially not if you're looking for a long-term relationship. It's better to be safe than sorry; nothing hurts relationships more than infidelity. So if your partner isn't giving you the attention you need, then cut him or her out of your life completely. Don't try to fix things that aren't broken. There's no point in continuing to put up with abuse if it doesn't get any better over time. Try to understand that everyone needs time alone, too. Maybe your partner goes through phases where he or she doesn't want to be visited so often or where they actually prefer you stay away for a while. But whatever the case may be, respect his or her wishes because only he or she knows what's best for them.
