Are some things too hard to understand?

Boys just don't get somethings do they. I'm not saying we females are perfect, I'm sure there are many a thing we don't get about guys either. But, the fact I may well want a happy non-hungover boyfriend on my birthday is surely not that hard to understand. I have to say if he turns up on my birthday in a moody state due to having got drunk the night before and isn't up for drinking and partying in the evening I will be rather annoyed. I wouldn't normally mind but my birthday is surely the one day I can demand somethings. If there is one thing that I have learnt about relationships whilst at Uni it is that long distance relationships are hard. There are so many issues and problems. Finding the time and money to visit each other being you would think the hardest but finding the time to talk to each other is actually the hardest even though it needn't be. My boyfriend never likes to be in his room preferring to hang around with friends around the university which is fair enough for the most part. Uni is about having fun and meeting new people aferall but surely if he loves me as much as he has said he does he would sometimes think actually I am going to go sit in my room for a few hours and talk on msn. But when we are talking on msn or on the phone there is hardly any conversation not nearly as much as you would expect from two people in love who hardly see each other. This exact problem was indeed the cause of a short break up just over a week ago yet has anything changed? Can anything change. Can the relationship continue. I just don't know if his heart is really in it anymore. It hurts to think about that.
