I've been with DP for 8 months.
We see each other once a week when he stays at mine. We both have kids. This suits me for the most part. He could stay more but doesn't want to travel to work which is fair enough.
I know that at the start of a relationship it's common to text loads and for that to tail off but this last month or so he has been reading my messages pretty much straight away but not replying. And then goes one or two days before texting me back.
He will then eventually text me some random update about his day and make no mention of the fact he's ignored me and several messages over the last 2 days.
When we do talk he seems very committed to us but this is starting to upset me. I hate wondering when/if he will text me back. I don't feel important to him at all when he can't even take 30 seconds to reply to me. He works a standard 9-5 job and is in the house pretty much every evening so I know it's not a case of being rushed off his feet.
I want to raise this with him but I don't know how to start. He has 'praised' me for not being needy and for allowing us to have our own lives but I don't think expecting contact every day with someone you love is going against these things is it?
