Does this mean it's over?

Been together 7 years this October, but don't live together and no ties. His phone has been off for 2 days and I went round his this morning and he wasn't there. We've been having a really bad time in the relationship recently. He's been turning his phone off at night most nights now but it's never been for this long. When he does text back the next day he says it died and that he was too busy to charge it. After 7 years I would've hoped I'd hear from him more often, but I don't think I'll ever get the closure I need now. Probably just being over dramatic but I'm hurting and I know I won't get any sleep tonight..

Time is still ticking for you even though you are only mid 20s.

I think it is time for you to look at yourself and your own behaviour, as to why you have hung around him so long.

Read the thread from the pregnant 19 year old with a cocklodger at home. Take some inspiration from someone else who is getting/got her shit together.
This is not meant to be unkind but seriously get some self esteem and aim higher.

Oh blimey. I'm sorry but this was appalling before it went wrong! Move on and be bloody thankful you no longer have this shit. There is someone out there who will love you so much they want to share every aspect of their life with you.

Dear OP I’m so sorry you’ve gone through all of this. No wonder you feel so upset. Everyone here is right this relationship is over but it needs to be you that is clear about this. You need to block this man completely, delete his number and never let him contact you again. He will never make you happy and whilst you might feel this when he has thrown you crumbs of affection I imagine this has been short lived.

Someone mentioned the freedom programme and it is worth looking at this now so you understand more about emotionally abusive relationships, gaslighting etc for the future.

This is a useful article too:

I was in a very similar relationship also in my 20s. Similarly it lasted about 7 years. I regret giving him all those years of my life but I learnt never to make the same mistakes again after being with him. When the right relationship comes along you will feel so totally different.
I know now you feel anxious and upset. At some point I hope that will change to anger at how this man has treated you. You deserve so much more and I hope you realise this. Wishing you all the best OP
