Am I being unreasonable?

Default profile image
Hi, I so out of practice with relationships I doubt myself and have trouble expressing my feelings well. I'm a Midwestern girl. I have lived. in the Caribbean but mostly Midwest USA. I'm dating a guy from Peru and we have numerous miscommunication due to cultural differences and language issues( I don't speak Spanish well and Englush is his second language) Anyway, I think I am jealous of his family. Is that as unreasonable as I feel it is? I've been trying to plan a weekend getaway for months but he can't get time off work for it. He can, however get a month off without notice to visit his family. Thus is the second time in 9 months and he is in Navy reserves and had to leave for a month with navy too. I live h u s devotion to his family by I want some devotion too. I'm not sure what to say to help him understand my position. Any ideas?, suggestions or comments? Am I even making sense? I appreciate any feedback. Thanks, Jacinta

How long have you two been dating? If you are newly dating then this may not be the time for you to come first but if you are in a committed relationship and have been together for some time then he needs to prioritize you as he does his family because well.. you are his family. It is not unreasonable for you to feel neglected and hurt and upset with him that he has deprioritized you and is leaving for a month to another country and can not make time for you to spend a weekend together. Sounds like he really is not thinking of you being his number one.
