Since it's Ramadan, if he's still in your country he's probably sleeping all day and hanging out with friends all night. Or perhaps he went to his country to get married and/or spend the month of Ramadan with his family where he will sleep all day and hang out all night with his friends. I'm sure by now you do know that these men are impulsive and they can disappear for a period of time without letting anyone know. Since you are a woman, he thinks that whatever he does is perfectly alright and you should be there with open arms when he returns. The best way to deal with a person who is narcissistic is to act like he doesn't exist. They can't tolerate it when they aren't the center of attention.
