I'm having the same issue. We've been dating a year and he is either busy or tired after work, so we usually see each other only on weekends and maybe a couple of hours during the week.
I have thought a lot about it and have weighed the positives and the negatives of staying with him. He treats me great and we always have fun together and we have a lot in common. I think I'd rather have him for a few days a week than some jerk on a regular basis.
Good guys are hard to find and some guys just need more space than others. I'd say as long as you are getting your needs met, stick it out. Also, I am wondering if you will ever get married and if you have discussed it? I think you'd see him more and that would give you something to look forward to.
Best of Luck!

Five years, hmmmmm.... Sorry to say this but I think he has a new girlfriend. There's an old saying that the peak of a relationship is it's in the third year. If you are not yet married by then. Well the guy might be looking for a greener pasture. The gifts are just overconpensassion for the things you don't know what he is up to.

i guess that all depends on what it is he is doing to make him self so busy? if the man has a job and that what is keeping him from seeing you more, i think it would be very selfish of you to break up with him because he is trying to get ahead in life. but if is out with friends all the time or is just sitting around at home and just not making time for you, then yes move on. so what if he buys you things please don't be one of those material girls, because if you are you will never meet someone that can truly make you happy.

im going to give u the same advice i give my friend who always seems to meet "busy" guys. they are never too busy to do what they want to do. if a guy really wants to see u he will find a way to see u. he cant possibly be busy 24/7. i bet he finds time to hang out w/ friends and other leisure activities. chances are ur not the only one or he's not ur boyfriend like u think. not trying to be mean but my friend goes through the same thing bc she reads too much into these guys and thinks its more than it is. only u can make the decision.

Why did you waste 5 years of your life on him? You should have known right away that he was not that interested in you. He buys you things to make himself feel better about ignoring you the rest of the time.

He is like a "weekend daddy" who sees his kids on the weekend and buys them all kinds of crap because he feels guilty for not seeing them more often.
This guy sounds the same way, or, you are the "other woman".
