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.
I find the very idea of being “left on read” ridiculous. I am not entitled to the immediate or even incidental attention of every person whose phone number I happen to posses. Maybe it’s because I started dating at a time and place when not seeing or hearing from your significant other for a week was perfectly normal, but putting an emotional valuation on a read receipt seems well out of the category of mentally healthy.
fair enough
