Yeah, I'm with Kisa here. Except... I'm going to go a step further. I totally understand the need for communication and contact and such, but this sounds more like a case of you not hearing him, rather than vice versa. While I would never advocate that anyone neglect their submissive partner, sometimes life gets busy. It sounds like he's heard you and has tried to explain that he's under a lot of pressure right now, but that doesn't suit what you want.

If you really think he's avoiding you on purpose, you might have to consider moving on to someone more connected to your needs... because if it is true, there's nothing you can do to change that.

I'm also not saying this to sound mean or anything. I have been known to be greedy and demanding of my Sir. It's just that sometimes it's not all about me, and no just means no. It largely depends on your priorities as a subbie.
