I’ve been with my partner a year. We had a very intense (whirlwind beginning) and it was great. He’d message me all the time, good morning texts, and throughout the day to let me know he was thinking of me. He has always been a quick texter (we use WhatsApp). Now after a little bit of a rocky patch, arguments etc even though we are totally back on track like nothing has ever happened he waits until around lunchtime to message me or if I text him he’ll take a good couple of hours to respond. I know this sounds petty but this isn’t how we’ve communicated before. I don’t by any means expect an instant reply as we both have lives. But I know he’s read it and then replies later, sometimes he’ll be on WhatsApp and reply to other people and then wait and respond to me later. I guess it makes me feel like he isn’t as interested, or perhaps he just takes me for granted. I know you people of Mumsnet don’t mince your words so please tell me what you think? When we’re together he’s always checking his phone but never hides it from me, he’ll read them out or if it’s a joke from a friend he’ll show me so there is nothing funny going on before people start trying to convince me there is!
