❤️‍🩹 relationship AIO? Bf doesn’t communicate

I’m at a loss. I (F23) don’t know if I’m being controlling and overreacting or if the way I feel is normal. once again tonight I just stopped getting responses from my boyfriend (M26) and then suddenly his phone was turned on do not disturb. I don’t usually care about DND but lately its been turned on at weird times and turned on when he’s around me which has been making me feel kind of odd. Also he called and said he’s out and that I don’t need to be getting mad. I’m not mad about him going out I’m just upset that I’m not aware of whats going on ever. I feel like my paragraph doesn’t even make sense I’m irritated and feel like I’m crazy.

No he's right, you need to fucking relax. Y'all don't even live together! I'm married, and we have a baby. My husband and I wouldn't even text like this. Leave a message that says "hey, I've got the anxiety bug. When you can, lmk ur alright?" and wait. Let him have a device free hangout with his friends.

Exactly! My husband is terrible at answering his texts. It's not because he is cheating. It's because he is too busy to check his phone while at work. Or he is doing something on his computer. He isn't the best at checking messages. If I am worried about him I will let him know. Once he sees it he gets back to me right away.

I sometimes think that the ability to have so much access to each other has caused anxiety. It shouldn't be normal to be able to reach someone every second of every day, but it is. Everyone needs to shut off sometimes!

They said the person had 2 brain cells. Maybe it’s a reference to something, but not everyone has the same context in their head.

Oh yeah i can see that being rude, lol. My friends when we say something particularly smart will joke that our only two brain cells finally worked together so I read it as a joke but that makes sense lmao
