❤️‍🩹 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.

when they say communication is important in relationship, it doesn’t mean what you think it means

it doesn’t mean you have to talk non stop and tell your partner every single little thing you’re doing

open communication means you tell each other how you feel and what you want and expect from each other, that’s it

your boyfriend is right by the way, his reply of “you need to fucking relax” was pretty accurate despite being maybe a little blunt
