Boyfriend ignoring me

41 replies

St29 · 26/10/2014 22:13

My boyfriend of 3 months. Has a lot of stress on at moment which includes work and constant hassle from mum of his kids. On top of this he has a really bad cold and has bad asthma. He has gone from phoning 5-6 times a day and constant texting to hardly nothing. Last time he text was weds, (just one) but he has been on fb putting things on there. Time to say goodbye? I've phoned and text him but he doesn't respond

Yes, time to move on

BlackDaisies · 26/10/2014 22:18

Yes, move on! If he's the sort of man who can't even be bothered to call to say it's not working out for him after three months, then it sounds like you'll have had a lucky escape from him.

St29 · 26/10/2014 22:19

We'll his last text was hearts and asking if I'm ok. So I don't get it

Blows hot and cold ?

Fuck him off

St29 · 26/10/2014 22:23

He didn't before he got cold, in fact he was overbearing. His mum said when he's ill he very anti social and moody, but a text is not to much surely

Or he could just be cacooning, hiding under the duvet. Some people just like to disappear when they feel shitty, pretend the world doesnt exist and ignore it.

So this is his behaviour in the best light, can you handle that long term?

HappyHalloweenMotherFucker · 26/10/2014 22:24

Ugh. What are you doing with this tool in the first place ?

Fmlgirl · 26/10/2014 22:25

Why bother? You can make excuses for him but a text takes 2 seconds. Don't you want better than this?

SaucyMare · 26/10/2014 22:25

You call him over bearing but are upset over 4 days of feeling ill and hiding.

St29 · 26/10/2014 22:26

We'll says he's stressed only things he's cut out is me. Still sees kids, still in work. Etc. I think your right what am I doing with him

Is he 15? sounds like a grouchy teen.

St29 · 26/10/2014 22:28

He is like a big kid, and it's been more than 4 days. Been strained for 10 days

tell him to take his games elsewhere, you ahve better things to do with your time than wait for the Manchild to deign to speak to you

HappyHalloweenMotherFucker · 26/10/2014 22:33

he is too cowardly to dump you, but he just isn't in to you, sorry

he wants you to do it

St29 · 26/10/2014 22:36

You are proberly right,guess I'll have to do it tomorrow

Ignore him until he´s feeling better. Then if he gets in touch, decide whether or not you want to see him again.

tipsytrifle · 26/10/2014 22:39

phoning 5-6 times a day and constant texting

and that's ok by you?

St29 · 26/10/2014 22:40

I've been doing that, disheartened he can't take a second to text

OP posts:
St29 · 26/10/2014 22:42

happy it was getting a bit much but now I have nothing from him. That was when I was seeing him in evening too

OP posts:
BastardGoDarkly · 26/10/2014 22:45

The constant phoning and texting world have pissed me off anyway tbh.

St29 · 26/10/2014 22:46

Don't get how he went from constantly texting phoning to nothing

OP posts:
Osirus · 26/10/2014 22:47

Often, people that are very intense at the start do sometimes back off just as quickly. It looks like that here.

HappyHalloweenMotherFucker · 26/10/2014 22:50

because he is game playing pillock

move on

Dirtybadger · 26/10/2014 22:56

Phoning 5-6 times a day is weird. And I find it hard to believe someone like that (clingy? In love with their phone?) would then nonchalantly go to one text in a few days (which can be normal in other contexts).

Get rid.

St29 · 26/10/2014 23:10

Very true dirt badger especially when I can see he's on fb via his phone
