Your thread reminded me of something that happened when I was sober about 3 months. My sponsor and I were really tight. Made meetings together, talked on the phone every day and since his wife was my wife's sponsor, we spent a lot of time together(the four of us)talking about just stuff that happens in our marriages etc. I called him one day and wanted to get together and he told me he couldn't 'cause he had a date with his daughter. I was crushed!! I got really angry and hurt and he knew it. We talked about it and he told me he loved me but that he needed to take care of his family time. I learned that even sponsors have their own life to live and sometimes it doesn't involve me. I think you're on the right track here. Talk to him and let him know your feelings and desires. It'll work out, but don't go with that "kneejerk" reaction until you've made the effort to talk things out. It's not fair to him.
