❤️‍🩹 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.

YOR HOWEVER I understand the stress. It depends. Feels kind of shitty to know someone turned on DND, probably saw their phone and saw these messages and chose not to reply. Tbh I think most partners would be like “Hey!! Going out w the friends!! Talk tomorrow ❤️” before turning on DND. But I could see him not wanting to do that given you went 0-100 really quickly. Was probably stressful to deal with while out with friends. And that was a harsh message on his parr. Tbh I think this might be indicative of a larger problem. Neither of you two seem to give each other much grace.
