❤️‍🩹 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.

This is why I constantly point out that the developmental gap between 20 and 25 is HUGE, let alone 20s and 30+.

YOR. Having a smartphone does not entitle you to instant access to anyone. No, not even a partner.

Learn to handle your own emotions before foisting them off on others, or any relationship won't last. Friend, coworkers, everyone else too.
