What do you guys do when your boyfriend is upset with you?

I'd go and see him before you go away on business. It sounds to me that he is missing you and he may have difficulty in expressing that well by, effectively, punishing you for not being with him (which is mostly out of your control in this case) and for forgetting to do something (which we all do from time-to-time, including him I'm sure).

I know it is difficult as I also have to travel occasionally but very rarely as long as 5 or 7 days, and when I do I miss my boyfriend terribly - usually, if schedules permit, I'll invite him along. The offer is usually declined (what happens during the day?), but occasionally, such as an upcoming conference, he has friends in that city that he's arranging to meet up with while I'm at the conference.
