Been totally ignored by my boyfriend

I've sent 4 texts over the last two days - all of which have been read and ignored. He won't answer the phone. He has been online to talk to other people.

I haven't a clue what is happening. He is currently in the process of selling a house and is stressed about this but why not talk to me?

I wondered if he was trying to just be a coward and delete me out of his life but he hasn't blocked me on whatsapp or deleted me on facebook or anything, just purely ignoring me. i cant stop crying wondering if things are okay and ive txt to say how worried i am. ive turned my phone off now but i dont know what to do? do i leave him alone completely? do i try contact again in a few days but what if he ignores me again?

im heartbroken.

WhoAteMyToast It's not just men, one of my ex-friends did the same to the extent that another friend felt so sorry for her DP that she rang him up and dumped him for her!

I don't understand how some people can be so cruel and shitty but it doesn't surprise me.

Don't be manipulated by this type of behaviour. It is deliberate and it is at best manipulative and at worst abusive. It will also escalate if you allow it, as people who behave like this want to test your boundaries. If you give an inch they will take a mile. Walk away with your head held high. Get very busy, get a great support network around you and agree - don't get sucked into the kind of nasty abusive 'games' that these type of men play. This type of behaviour is probably exhibited by a man who dislikes and/or is scared of women. One instance of bad or thoughtless behaviour might be a coincidence. Two one can give a second chance. Three and they have run out of chances.

My last boyfriend disappeared for 4 days and you know what I did - nothing. He received no calls or no texts for ignoring me. I honestly believe he only came back to me when he realised I wasn’t going to chase or beg him.
Yes I cried like a baby those few days but he never knew. I realised my self worth weeks later and dumped his good for nothing ass.
Put the phone down, leave him alone and when he comes back he better be giving some amazing excuses for his absence or I would just walk away. Absolutely no reason to push you out if he is stressed!

Well said Dimael. I unfortunately encountered a very nasty person who got great pleasure from gloating over my emotional reactions to his poor behaviour. The level of his and his family's dysfunction was so high that he and/or family and friends would stalk me so they could see my reaction to his pathetic antics. I kid you not. I know it sounds crazy. It WAS crazy. I just can't imagine the mindset of someone who would spend so much emotional time and energy on manipulating another person. But it can and does happen. And of course then the abuser denies having done anything and claims it's all in your head and your'e crazy. It's called gas-lighting and it's a common behavioural pattern when you are dealing with narcissists/psychopaths and other disordered personalities. Or just arse-holes.

im currently going through this situation and any advice would be great. ive been with my partner 10 months now i have two children who he has met and they have formed a very good bond. we had a minor argument/disagreement on monday whenever we get into a discussion or disagreement he brings the same thing up all the time in relation to the bedroom it isnt has tho we dont have a good sexual partnership but hes acting like a child over it saying does he need to goes elsewhere ect which i found very disrespectful. when weve argued in the past ive been the one to txt him and he has replied but since this argument ive txt him and he hasnt replied at all ive even txt saying iys really upset me and getting me down and hes ready to speak to contact me and let me know exactly what it is he wants i was polite in the txt and still no reply not heard anything now since yestarday morning just dont know what to do next?

This is an old thread from 3 years ago. It's very confusing when you add to it. Copy your message and start it as a new thread in relationships and you will get lots of help.
My answer would be to stop chasing him and start a life without him. Sorry.

thank you
