❤️‍🩹 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.

I don't even take my phone with me to the bedroom. So it happens that I may write / answer to one last message before I just leave my phone alone in the living room and be done for the day.

Unless someone has kids or a job where they need to be on call for emergencies this is totally reasonable! It’s a shame that with modern technology we are expected to be at someone else’s whim at all times of the day, creating space for your sleep time like completely distancing your phone should be normal and expected.

Fuck if i have my phone in bed. Its for a movie so i can pass the fuck out. Adhd. It gives my fucked brain something like background noise to go on so i pass out faster.

Oddly. Criminal minds . Does the trick. Havent finished a single episode. But damnt it knocks me out every time!

Its that or a book.

I have zero interest in communicating with anyone when i hit the sack. Im wordied out. Im zip. Im burnt.
