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.
Why on earth do people say ‘on read’ instead of ‘unread’?
Also, in answer, it’s not uncommon. People are busy, or they don’t like texting, or they just want some quiet. Loads of reasons.
“On read” is the opposite of “unread” , i.e. the message has been seen and read, but not replied to
