i just broke up with my ex and he used to do that a lot while we dated so i was wondering how common that was? i mean trying to start the conversation or saying something important, not just saying “bye” or something, and I don’t mind my friends leaving me on read I think but not my partner, idk why.

    Depends on the context. I’ll often not reply to my wife if I can’t think of anything or it doesn’t really require a response.

    From what you wrote it probably wouldn’t be normal.

    My wife will send me photos of like spiders and snakes which is fun but after the tenth photo I’ll probably reply a bit slower

    • what about “hi? how are you?” or “I love you so much <3”

      to be fair, he never knew what to say in our relationship, he was basically a man of a few words.

      that makes sense, I didn’t send a lot of messages to him, I acknowledge that he doesn’t “wanna talk to me 24/7 or every day”

        If I know someone actively wants a response then I’ll give one because I’m not a dick. From your examples it’s pretty clear you wanted one.

        Life’s too short to feel neglected
