Feeling rotten this morning.
I drunk texted my boyfriend when he really wanted to be left alone. I'm mortified.
He has read it but never replied Blush
I text that I missed him.

It is very hard work at the moment but I don't want to finish what little communication we have especially as he is going through so much. I actually
Don't think he isn't in the right place at all for a relationship at the moment but he is a good one and perhaps when he feels better things may Peter out and we may develop something worthwhile.
He has told me that this is how he deals with big life altering upsets, in the past, so I know it's not personal.He needs to be with his family.
Just feeling a little needy and pushy which is not what I amLike at all.
Bloody booze Angry

Sounds like a cop out to me.
No matter what you are going through in life, it takes absolutely nothing to send the odd text to your OH, especially in a new relationship where you would be bothered what the other thought.
I agree with a PP - move on. Next!

I hope you're not right but it does feel that way right now.

As others have said this sounds like hard work.

It's something I would have done and if I had regretted having said something a lot worse I would have simply said sorry about last night was a bit tipsy and expected that to be that but the fact he has ignored you would be what annoyed me (I am old) but is ignoring someone not rude?

I would have thought he wasn't interested by the lack of response, if I text my dh when we were dating he would have definitely replied.

If you are the same poster as the PP whose BF had recently been bereaved and asked for space you really do need to respect his need for space and stop texting him before you back him into a corner. You’ve now sent multiple texts with no reply and shown that even early on you can’t respect his wishes.

I appreciate it’s hard as you’re clearly still in the honeymoon phase whilst he’s currently on a different page, but no good will come from you texting him. Mentally and emotionally detaching yourself isn’t the same as cutting communication, the door is still open if and when he’s ready but you’ll be protecting yourself if the worst does happen.
