OMG Just leave the dude alone. Do you really have to be confused about this man, he's being pretty clear about his intentions. If he's this much of a douchebag long distance he'll be an even bigger douchebag close up and personal. And why isn't he coming to see you instead of you investing in him by going up to see him? There is no investment on his part and as long as he's not DOING the investing he'll mistreat you.
Were are the obstacles for him to climb to get you in his life, no obstacles to climb mean no falling in love with you. You both should be winning, right now he's the only one winning and that creates a deep rift between the both of you b/c you are not "INSPIRING" him to want you.
Men value what they have to put efforts into so when you cause a man to put more effort into the relationship that??s the kind of work MEN ENJOY. When a woman is desperate she tries too hard. She gives too much. She demeans her value in the hopes of getting something she wants. IT NEVER WORKS!! He will USE you but he will not be around much longer when he has to either give back.
Men will treat a woman the way they feel the woman will be willing to be treated and if you accept his cheating by rewarding him he'll continue to cheat.
Desperation is the feeling that you get when you just have to have something, that man, that job, that dog and if I don??t get what I want I will be miserable. Men give more when they sense a lack of need and a lack of desperation but neediness will run a man off in a second.
Use stubborn-ness in the face of desperation, just refuse and be determined not to be desperate, your mind is made up and your sticking with it. Don??t be desperate--be determined, refuse in anything that frames you in a negative way, whether it comes from yourself or from someone else.
You are trying too hard, let him come up and see you,let him DO some of the relationship work or he'll continue to treat you with apathy and not care about how his behavior is effecting you.
Why in the hell would you spend your money, gas, energy going back up to see him when "doesn't deserve it" you are literally "REWARDING" him for his bad behavior which gives him the green light that he can cheat, he doesn't have to "give" back to you through affection and nice gestures and you'll chase him for a relationship anway. Who does that? Just stop it, you can't be that desperate to keep him in your life.

Don't go up and see him, don't keep mistreating yourself this way...Save your energy, do you really want to go up to see him and put up with being treated so poorly? You deserve better than that, you deserve to be treated better than that and you know it. Stop subjecting yourself to his crumby treatment, save your money, gas, time, energy, stay home and go out with your girlfriends, go do something fun that will add value, love and happiness to your life.

Keep being a challenge, you are not easy to get like so many women are these days and he love that kind of challenge, keeps him in touch with his masculinity, you are someone he can trust...He's falling in love and he'll keep falling as long as you are not doing anything to intentionally hurt him, he'll stick around longer.
