Hello guys, l'm actually seeking advice from other Americans that can help me understand certain situations. So, my Bf and I have been together for 2 years, we met in Europe (where I live) and after a few months we started our long distance relationship. We understood the challenges of sacrificing physical contact and quality time together but we decided to start something because of our strong connection. The issue is that us Latinos are very emotional in most cases. But right now, even addressing my concerns about the relationship to him doesn't help. Cause there's no improvement. Like everything is always convenient for him. We call if he has the time, we travel if he has enough PTO, we text if he's off work, etc. I can see how happy he is with me but I don't feel I'm getting the same in return. I have tried telling him about my concerns and he, somehow, seems to be empathetic, but there's no improvement. Every fight we have is about me asking for a better treatment. So, right now, he's on a 10 day trip in another EU country after visiting me for 4 days, like he just got his sex and left. And even tho he's been texting, I felt I had to complain because we were not calling for several days. He got all defensive and I started questioning if this is because of me feeling like I deserve better or maybe l'm asking too much.

I'm not a controlling person, I'm super happy that he's able to visit other places with his friends, but I feel that because of the type of relationship we' re in, we should be able to make time to call each other. Although his excuse is always that he's on the run and has no time.

I must say that this is not the first time this happens. Every trip he has is basically like this. And on the weekends, when he's with friends, he's barely communicating. So, one of my friends in the US said that "that's an American thing", that "they don't think that they need as much contact as us Latinos". So, now I'm just confused. Do I want to break up with him because l'm being unreasonable (considering he comes from a different country) or because I really deserve better. In my Latino mind I see this as lack of empathy and that he's not being very transparent. I’m obviously not being treated in the way I want to be treated and I also feel that I’m giving too much and getting not enough in return. Are American guys so little empathetic?

What do you guys think?

TL;DR;: I wanna break up with my bf because of cultural differences!
