I was seeing a man for a few months and it was great but he quietened off a lot and claimed he was busy, yet made time for other people and left me on read. He still came to see me and would text occasionally but it was clear I was no longer a priority. I sent him a long text that I’m not putting up with it anymore and we need to end it, he was upset and said he will try harder so I gave him a second chance. He was great the first week making lots of effort, and I finally felt reassured as he knew I would walk for good if he made me feel that way again.
Today he hasn’t made any effort, he left me on read yet he is online. I know he is entitled to do other things and not speak to me constantly but it feels like a lack of respect that he hasn’t even asked how I am or how was my day it’s now 9pm and I know he will be at home. My head tells me to not over react just yet and keep trying as he has really tried hard this week, but my instincts are telling me he will never change and I need to stop this now before he breaks my heart again. Any advice that isn’t a simple ‘dump him’, like should I keep trying and is it normal for texts to drop after time and I’m just worrying for nothing?
