Should the small signs paint the big picture.

My bf of a year and I are both 28 years old. We have been in a long distance relationship for the past 6 months, but are only 5 hours away so we take turns visiting each other every 2 weeks. I love him with all my heart and express my love to him in so many ways, not just by saying the words "I love you" He on the other hand tells me he loves me at least 50 times a day , but his actions don't refect that. On a recent visit to him, to celebrate our one year, I noticed that every picture, poem, keepsake, card, etc... that I gave him or had to do with a time we spent together which used to sit out in his bedroom dresser, was gone. And when I aksed why, the only answer I got was, "I don't know". Also he didn't even get me anything for the anniversary, not even a card. I was crushed. On top of all that, his cell phone kept ringing the whole weekend and he would say he wasn't going to answer it, becuase it was an unknown number, but when I had a few minutes and he wasn't around, I looked at the phone and the calls were from a girl, whom he has told me about before and said she was a friend. But I have never met her after asking numerous times to meet her. So if the girl was just a friend, why did he lie about it? To make matters worse, he just lost his job that he moved away for, but refuses to move back to me. He has been living at his parents, so it is not like he has to finish an apartment lease or sell a house. I get the excuse that his father won't allow him to, but I would think that at 28, he would do what he wants and not let daddy run his life, but apparently that isn't going to change. I guess I just need to know, that if he says he loves me so much and him and I get along great, have the best time together and we both break down crying when we have to leave each other, why do I feel as if he is slowly removing me from his life.
