So I'm being 'that' woman it seems- the one who freaks out over text contact. Need to be brought down to earth please!
Been seeing this man for 6 months, we live about 2 hours apart, and between kids and work shifts we don't see each other for up to 4 weeks at a time. But we whatsapp everyday, usually evenings consistently for hours.
We spoke throughout Christmas Day on and off, and in the evening on the phone for 2 1/2 hours. Didn't hear anything until midday Boxing Day, then again conversation picked up.
He returned to work then, starts shifts from 4am so I usually wake up to a good morning text then nothing until after shift. Saturday was all normal, then in the evening he vanished for 3 hours mid convo online and said goodnight. Sunday no good morning message, talked for about an hour in the afternoon (where I admitted to him I felt anxious about him losing interest and he said he's free to see me anytime this week, and we can 'renew interest when I arrive :P' and that we had spoken to a long time on Christmas Day- he seemed genuinely surprised of feel like that and I know I shouldn't have said anything probably) after he had finished work then again no message until he went to bed with a 'goodnight honey'.
Now I wake and see again, no good morning, and this morning he hasn't even signed in to whatsapp.
The rational part of me is trying to talk my anxiety ridden part down from feeling this way- I myself vanished when my friend popped over last week for impromptu Christmas drinks and he'd gone to bed by the time I got back to him 3 hours later.
I'm at that stage of the relationship where I am starting to fall for him so if it goes tits up I get hurt. He is such a sweet man and I'm trying to tell myself this isn't him being spiteful, he's got a life, and he's more than entitled to live it and not be stuck on the phone to me.
Am due to see him this coming weekend when we both have no kids or work, and an really excited. Somebody tell me I'm being silly and that him not talking to me for a few hours is normal- i think I got too used to a pattern of communication and I'm in a tail spin.
