Not sure

I posted about this a few weeks back and got some good advice on the situation but I currently just need a few more pointers. Long story short: I meet this guy from India well I was working on a cruise ship. He is currently still working and I came home on a vacation. We were seeing each other for about a month and a half before I left. During that time together we established what we were. At first it was just friends, which wasn’t exactly what I wanted but it is what he wanted and I was fine with it because I did enjoy his friendship. He also was open to me about how he is expected to marry an Indian girl from back home and he doesn’t have to marry an Indian girl but he has to make the choice between making his parents happy or his self. So I respected the fact that he was open and honest with me. I mean, when you work on ships, guys are usually sleezy and liars. So we went on hanging out and being friends but it was pretty clear how much he liked but never was open about it. He just did little things from the beginning that “friends” don’t do or say to each other. His actions towards me confused me because then his words would say that he only likes me as a friend. But I tried to brush it off and do my thing, I mean I am not gonna hold back and wait around for him. At parties, I would dance with who I wanted and talk to other guys, no big deal because he isn’t my boyfriend so he has no say, right? I didn’t leave with other guys because that is not the type of girl I am. But I know a few times at each of the parties, he and his friends would watch to see who I was dancing with and talking with and he would always make sure I was in his sight. Clearly not something just a “friend” does. I didn’t let this interfere with my time and the fun I was having. But when other guys tried to dance with me, he would appear and take me away from them or else just stick around me for the rest of the night when he saw the guy that I had a huge crush on was close by haha. Which, I mean I didn’t really mind because he saved me from some creepy guys. See how his actions would confuse a person? Anyways, my last two weeks he finally admitted how much he liked me and how he wanted me to only see him and that he wanted me to come back on the ship to be with him rather than going to a different ship or else he would transfer to my next ship. He also threw a cute little goodbye party for me with his friends. Just a cute end to our relationship. He even cried on my last night as he read the letter I gave him and waited around with me the next morning as I waiting to leave. So he did some cute things that a boyfriend does. And the first two weeks of me being gone, he really made an effort to call and message me. Would say how much he missed me, how much he needed me in his life and just talk for a few minutes about our day. Then during those two weeks of him keeping in good contact, he sent me a message saying, “when I think about my parents, family and friends I feel really upset that what will happen” meaning, that he is worried about what they will think about him seeing me. Which, I get but don’t email this to me days after you crying that I was leaving or saying how much you needed me. He basically just said that he can’t marry me and that I even said in my letter that marriage isn’t necessary. I had to explain to him, that no marriage isn’t necessary but we don’t start a relationship off with no marriage talk already. So then we decided to just see where this relationship ends up, no marriage talk and no worrying about parents or family. Maybe, I am crazy to be staying in this relationship but its hard to figure this out when I am thousands of miles away and internet and phone service sucks on the ship. My thought was when I go back to his ship in two weeks that we could totally figure this out, in person. Anyways, to the point now, I am here for advice because now all of a sudden his contact with me is less and less. He hasn’t called me since last Wednesday or emailed since last Thursday. So it annoys me because I mean, he can make 5 minutes to send me a quick email. Not that hard, right? With his little contact with me this last couple of weeks, do you think he could be off seeing someone else? Or maybe when he says, I email less because I get barely 30 minutes break, truthful? I do understand ship life and the internet isn’t the best and the phone is so so. I also know that he works long hours but I don’t want to be that girl that makes up excuses for a guy that could be possibly screwing me over. It is just driving me crazy haha I mean, when he does call or email he says how much he misses me and is counting down the days until I get back. So I am confused on what to think about the little contact lately. Any thoughts?

Enjoy the contact that you ARE making and do not worry. When you see him face to face sit down and address that issue along with the others. You will get the answers that you are seeking.
