I am overrating by telling my boyfriend he needs to put in more effort to communicate with me

Few days ago i posted something about a communicate problem with my bf/finace. Recap. When been dating for a year he asked me to marry him. We live a good distance away from each other because his family moved and we plan to live together in june. I have a job and he does there for he couldnt pay for his phone. and our only way of commuication is msn. I told him before how commuincate for me is important and he promise me we wont lose that. Well this week. Monday- he told me to get on this time but he never got back on. tuesday we actually talked. Wednesday same thing as monday and that day i told i was hoping i would talk to him more before i got busy with work. he said sorry and i told thursday after work please be on when i get off. well two hours later he got on and talked to me for 10 minutes his excuse school . Yet im doing school and work still making time afterwards for him and pushing my sleep back. So yesterday i left a little message on msn because he wasnt on saying i dont know how much longer i can do this if im the only one putting effort in, and that i have no problem with him going out and having fun. but even with work im making time to get on and talk to you but i get nothing in return. and i told him either im leaving for good or things need to change....Was i overreacting or did i do the right thing?

Overreacting, not overrating.

How old are you anyways?
I am sensing several problems here. First, if your boyfriend/fiance is not willing to make time for you now, do you think he is the type of man you will want to marry? Secondly, if he cannot afford his phone bill, how do you expect to get a home together?

In answer to your question, however, I do not believe you are overreacting. You have a right to expect a certain amount of time devoted to you by your partner. Do you really think you will leave though? I don't think you will. Imagine if someone was yelling at you to talk to them and you still refused...that might mean that you are not very interested, and certainly not devoted. I think you need to spend a few more years in school, and then find a man who is devoted to you and who spends time talking to you without you making him do so.
