Am I worrying over nothing

[Littlehiccups33]

My partner is at home on holiday from work for 14 days he’s been playing x box and watching films. I’ve text him a few times during the day and nearly each time he’s read my message and not responded for hours. I tried to face time him yesterday to give him some good news he text me to say he was watching a film and would ring me later in the evening. We normally text in the morning before work sometimes on lunch break and before bed. My text this morning has been left on read.

Have you contacted him more than normal or is he replying less than normal?

It's rude, obviously, that he's leaving you on 'read' but on the other hand if he's busy on his holiday I guess it's understandable that he won't answer straight away, even if he is just relaxing watching TV. I don't think many grown up men would ignore someone all day though just to play xbox etc though

Sorry that was something of nothing wasn't it! I haven't helped at all but I can't tell whether he is just enjoying a couple.of days 'me time' or if there's something more going on. Did he call you as normal last night?

Have you asked him if he is OK? It could be that he is feeling a bit down, or it could be that he does not want to talk to you. The only way to find out would be to ask him.

Has he recently got the new xbox or ps5?

My immediate thought was that he is balz deep in a new game and will call you when he surfaces from that.

Maybe just because his routine has changed, it's being lazier and being engrossed in a game, perhaps he doesn't want to disturb you during the day?
If he stops responding when your back home then be worried but otherwise see how it goes when he's back at work?

Do you live together or have DC?

I’m also on holiday. For the first two days I ignored my phone and did the bare minimum. I wanted some peace and to have to send that email later, reply to that text, leave at half twelve be there for one...... I wanted none of it.

Let him enjoy his peace.

For 14 days he’s been playing Xbox!??? I would dump him for that alone. I understand a day or two to decompress alone but after that I would expect he’d have one minute to reply to and initiate a text or two. He’s prioritizing games and movies over you.... for two weeks. I’d stop texting to see what he does. If you don’t hear from at all for a day or two you have your answer.

No not for 14 days he’s about 5 days into his holiday haven’t really spoken much today he’s helping me move tomorrow so I text him about that but he took for ever to reply. Planned to face time this evening before bed wanted to let him know
The plans for moving tomorrow but he’s now said he’s watching another episode so will call me at 11.45 instead of 11

Only answer if it's convenient for you, he's had all day and evening to talk, I think I would be 'asleep' for a call that late and maybe reply if I had time tomorrow..

Eh not great OP.

Very rude.

Ok, well more than a day or two is still too long. It to me shows he didn’t really miss you if he’s not replying to texts timely and he’s not initiating them. He’s really not bothered to communicate at all so I would dump him and move on

After your latest update I'd say it does seem like he's not making any effort, he doesn't stay in contact all day and the plan was to call at 11pm....I'd have expected some prime evening time! To then push it back to 11.45 for a film he's had all day to watch is ridiculous and I would be telling him not to bother. Are you working this morning? If so where's his consideration for you? Is this a sudden change or has he always had a selfish streak?

Holiday = message read if phone is anywhere near me, if it's not desperate, reply later, much later if it really needs one.
