Been with DP for 2 years now, we don’t live together but live 15 mins away from each other. He never texts or calls me unless I call/text him first, never initiate to meet up, everything is on me. We don’t talk/meet up unless I initiate. The only time he gets in contact is if I don’t contact him for 2-3 days, then I’ll get a ‘hey how are you?’ text. His phone is literally glued to his hands and he’s always online on WhatsApp, but he doesn’t initiate anything. So it’s not like he’s “useless” with phone. It’s not like he hates texting or talking on the phone, he can sometimes be on the phone to his friends for an hour or two. They obviously call him.
When we are together he is affectionate and lovely, but when we’re apart I don’t hear from him unless initiate contact.
I get jealous of my friends OHs who’s always in contact with them, nothing extreme just a call or two and a few texts back and forth.
I feel frustrated and resentful. I don’t feel loved or wanted when he goes 2-3 days without speaking to me, and he’s fine with that. I need someone who wants to keep in contact with me during the day, or even a evening call at the end of the day would do it for me. But no contact for days, I can’t do that. I’ve spoken to him many times, but nothing has changed. I just feel so resentful, I guess he’s always been like this but I thought things would change.
