Boyfriend is Ignoring Me

It began last Sunday when he blew off date night. In fact I didn't get any text from him at all, all evening. I didn't want to sleep without saying goodnight so I messaged him to say I'm sleeping early I was not feeling so well. The next day he texted me mid day asking how I was and I said I was fine and asked the question back. I didn't get any reply until 5 hours. And when I finally did I asked if I could call him as I felt like we haven't talked in a while. I didn't get a reply and I was up all night thinking about it. I don't know if I'm being neurotic and unreasonable or it's my hormones going crazy. I normally would not say anything. But today as he texted explaining about him getting a vaccine and feeling so ill that he slept. I kind of told him what was in my heart. It goes along the line' "I hope you're feeling better. I was beginning to think you're losing interest in me. I was actually contemplating if I should ask you about it." Now I'm worried he thinks I'm crazy.

I know. Sometimes I can be very impatient about it. Should I retract what I said and delete it before he reads it?

@flapiz You don't need to. I am pretty sure he will understand.

@cherigucchi I hope so I am a bit conscious about saying what I feel. My ex used to say I'm crazy everytime I have complaints.

It is really hard nowadays because of covid. Try understanding his situation. I`m sure he`ll tell you if there is something going wrong with your relationship

@m_audrey6788 I hope he does not think I'm crazy. I'm actually scared of what his reply would be.

I hope so. I really hope that if he's losing interest he's got the courage to just say it to me upfront and get it over with than string me along.

I would give him the benefit of the doubt this time. It's possible that he is being honest about the vaccine making him feel really ill. I know a lot of people have been experiencing that. But, on the other hand, he really should have tried to communicate with you better. I hope everything works out between you two.

Well he just mustered the courage to reply and he said he's having thoughts if he could continue with LDR for another 2 years. I do understand that. I just hoped he would've been more direct about it.

@moffittjc well I met him in the UK. But I moved to Guernsey and although it is part of the British Channel Island it is still separated by water. And with covid the rules are different and so we can't really visit each other as much as we want. I did plan to visit him this May but I think maybe I'd forego that.

@flapiz Oh, it's not a guy you met in the UK? I thought maybe you found some local love this time.

Well last night he did but prior to that I don't know what happened to him. I think because of being long distance I would've preferred if he offered a bit more explanation when he goes MIA.

@flapiz I can understand that for sure. It's very easy to get concerned and think the worst when you are so far apart.

@Hannihar Well this is a different guy in the discussion. I hope he gives me an answer at all. He didn't even call. Sadly. I think this relationship might end on an unclear note.

Thank you Hanni. I come from a very traumatic relationship with my ex and felt like everytime I have issues he gas lights me into thinking I'm crazy. I am waiting on how my boyfriend would react to what I said.

@flapiz You are very welcome and you are not crazy. You wanted answers and he would not give them to you. I can see why he is your ex. Do you think he will give you an answer that will be honest if he even gives you one at all?

Well he's not replied at all. I even wrote him a lengthy message explaining why I'm sulky and still the silent treatment. So I think I got my answer.

@nela13 it's okay. Last night he texted me as if nothing happened. Now I'm really confused. But I think I should manage my expectations and not put my hopes up.

You mean getting ignored two days in a row? I thought when you like someone you make time? I guess I'm a hopeless romantic.

@snowy22315 Yeah I wasn't feeling so great when I had mine. But I would've thought he would at least reply and say of course he's not losing interest in me. But instead he was quiet.

@flapiz I believe that women’s instinct is always right. If you have a hunch that something is wrong, then most probably there is.

@toniganzon Yes Toni I really feel like something's not right. If not he would've at least replied and told me it's not true. Anyway I did not get any message overnight too while he's been posting on social media.

The vaccine has severe reactions on a few. So he has a point. Take it easy.

Yeah I suppose so. The vaccine I understood but the day prior to that he blew me off too. I mean he completely ignored me when on Sunday night. I'm waiting for him to call when he's off work if he's even going to bother calling.

Well that's the thing I don't know him that well. We have only started being in a relationship 3 months ago. And dating 2 months before that. We are in a long distance relationship. So I'm really not sure if I'm still keeping his interest up.

He was probably not feeling well like you said and didn't feel like doing anything. Don't delete it, he probably won't be offended. How long have you two been together?
