Away in a stag... no contact

[practicepearx]

Firstly it's my first post so apologies for ' test' . I've had trouble posting already!

So am chatting it a man on line for the last week. He's away abroad in a stag and sent a message the first evening . Haven't heard from him since, left me on read and has been online since.

This is ok is t it or is it bad manners I. Your opinion?
Thanks

I have a friend that I can only communicate with via text, phone or email. It is a logistical nightmare when organising group stuff because I can't make a group chat with her in it. I make a group with everyone but her then have to message to and fro with my friend then report back to the group. It's an annoying PITA.

He doesn't owe you anything. You don't know each other and never met.

Enjoy your weekend.

Respectfully OP you've been chatting a week and never met ... you're not 'anything' yet to each other yet and neither should you be. There's no obligation on his part to message you until he's back regardless of being online.

Make a group email then. And if someone can’t be part of the group email then they are as much of a PITA as the person who doesn’t do group do chat. More people have emails than have apps.

I changed my settings so that no one can see if I’ve read or not because my teen was driving me fucking batshit mithering for replies after a microsecond

I guess that means either I’ve left everyone on read, or no one.

Intense

You've been chatting for a week? That's very very very early days, you are aware he's in a stag... so he's told you his plans...

At this point, I think it's unreasonable. To expect anymore from him.

This

He might be going on line to keep in contact to those he's on holiday with, as in "where are you?", nearly ready, having a nap, what's the code for the hotel gate etc. Or to tell his family he's ok etc. To echo everyone very YABU.

It's been a week. Calm the fuck down

Well I'm sure that's a terrible nuisance.

I've no desire to be in any groups, so I just make firm arrangements with the people I know well enough to still want to spend time with once I've spent the day/week dealing with people I have no choice over because it's work.

The list is not that long 😀

Of the people in my friendship/hobby/family circle everyone uses WhatsApp except for this one friend. I find that most people have email notifications turned off so emails result in much slower replies.

If you expected a response from him whilst he is away on a stag I think you're expecting too much. I'd only expect a couple of messages from DH and we've been married ages. I don't get the whole fixation on contact when the someone is away - they are enjoying themselves, let them get on with it.

He’s busy.

I’m sure he’ll message you when he gets time.

I wouldn’t be messaging a LT partner if he was away for the weekend/on an evening out and I definitely wouldn’t expect them to have a conversation with me.

Chill out a bit.

Opposite in my writing circle. Different strokes for different folks then.
