The trembling of the stiff upper lip

Help.

Just help.

I am in a long term relationship with a lovely man, but it's becoming more and more evident that as he grows up, he is leaving me behind. I'm not immature but I'm not a law graduate going to law school, commuting every day, having to work a shift at the golf club each week, and needing to do law school work/see friends/have some down time and have to squeeze in a girlfriend. I understand that he needs to make something of himself and create a career but I just fear that his "we can make it" is taking advantage of three years of solidarity based on constant communication (communication which has now disappeared.) I don't know what to do or say: I can't say anything.
"I want more" will only just come with the "this is the most I can give"
"We need to talk more" will come with the response of "we already talk lots, this is the most I can do"
"I need to see you more" will result in "I can't give anymore time.
And I believe him.

So what do I do? What can I say?

Help.

Just help.
