Not hearing from boyfriend on holiday

I'm in a relatively new relationship. BF has gone away for a week for a mixture of holiday and business. Not his day job, something he does on the side. He's gone with four other male friends. I won't say exactly where but in Asia...

He went on Tuesday. I didn't even get any airport messages. He's been on Whatsapp semi regularly. But hasn't replied to my last message sent Monday night.

We do Whatsapp a couple of times per day normally and I see him for a date night in the week and we generally spend weekends together.

I really don't think I'm being clingy, needy or neurotic in wanting a message every couple of days when it's evident he is able to be on Whatsapp?

Confused

It really doesn't matter what we all think, but what you think. If this isn't good enough for you, then leave and find someone that makes more effort.

It's very early days and he seems totally uninterested. Sorry.

I wouldn't send any more messages. I think it's a make or break of the relationship moment and you can control that as much as he can

way too many alarm bells ringing for me... he's online.. but ignoring you...he's a tosser... get RID x

It's not that he's necessarily a tosser (although he might be), it's just that lack of spark and interest in terms of contact...out of sight, out of mind. It doesn't bode well. It would leave me feeling very flat.

At 3 months in it should be such hard work as this.

I think you need to move on from him.

Gemini69 · 30/06/2017 23:03

yes apologies.. tosser is maybe too strong... lol sorry girls x

I think this has to do more with your compatibility - he is obviously not a great communicator and from your comments about your ex that seems to be a quality you cherish highly. There's nothing wrong with that at all - personally it wouldn't bother me but I am not you. If you need more contact than this you either need to tell him so he has a chance to step up, or you need to leave it be and move on.

The early days of relationships are usually trying to make a good impression and sort of impress the person... if this is his early days, would you really like to see how he is in a few months or a year?
I think you can do a lot better than this...
