My boyfriend ignored the sweet texts that I sent before bed. Is he being inconsiderate?

[Anonymous]

We only see each other on weekends. From time to time, he will ignore any GIFs I send him and ignore the texts I send before bed. When we first started dating, he would text me good night and respond to my GIFs/messages. Now he just goes to bed and doesn't text past 6 or 7 pm. He texted me the next morning and didn't acknowledge my texts from last night. I texted him a cute pic of a dog and cat hugging and told him I hope he feels secure. He ignored it. Is he being inconsiderate? Should I move on from him?

I that people can start demanding too much from their partner when it comes to texts and such. People can act as if their partner is supposed to available 24/7 to text and act like every text they send should always be replied to a short time after they send it. One of the big things to remember is that people have a life outside of the relationship and will not be available to text or talk 24/7.

When it seems like I'd have to reply to a text right after it was sent or have to be in contact with someone all the time, I'm going start taking steps back from them. Because there is no way it won't feel like they are overbearing. Because it can make it seem like the fact that I a hard day and need to go to sleep early does not matter to my partner. Because simply can't go longer then a few hours to text or message me.

Would you say he's not into me?

Sounds like he cares about you based on this whatsapp chain. I also wouldn't want to send a text reply to a girl that I'm seeing at 3 in the morning, unless its an emergency. He responded to you right after he woke up the second time, which is fine. I wouldn't move on from him, ESPECIALLY over this.

But it is interesting that you said you only see him on weekends. Why is that? Is it for work? I'm going on a limb and presuming that the frequency of only seeing him on the weekends is creating a sense of worry that he is being distant? If that's the problem, I would communicate this and work with him to find healthy ways to stay engaged with each other during the week. Alternatively, you can fill the time by talking about it with your friends over happy hour, maybe finding a hobby to build healthy habits, just finding other activities or errands to keep you busy during the week so that you don't have to worry about small things like this.

He has said some really sweet, thoughtful things in this message thread. "Love ya' "feel secure" and first thing in the morning, "morning love".

GIFs are annoyingly over used. Maybe he wants to relax in the evenings and not spend the whole time replying to messages.

Sounds like a keeper to me. You're a lucky girl.

[Changiis07]

He put morning love that was sweet, I believe you are overthinking way too much into his texts. It’s more about his actions for you

[Anonymous]

Leave him over a text? How's the relationship otherwise? If you're that willing to just leave him, do you care at all? There's many possibilities, have you ask him about it? A couple off the top of my head, he may just not know how to reply, and/or be uncomfortable (as a guy, because "it's not manly"). Maybe he doesn't think he "needs" to reply to it? Maybe he fell asleep and didn't see them until morning?

[Pyrofox]

Probably passed the hell out guys aren't about the whole texting 24/7 thing. He'll probably respond quicker if you set some boundaries and tried to make the relationship healthier.

[HusamRocks]

He's in a level that he feels so secure and he doesn't reply for ur gifs or sweet texts because he doesn't need to and he already has u on his side.
U can be honest with him about ur feelings which would be better than asking other guys about it

[TheSpaceGnome]

He didn't ignore it, he replied, after waking up.
What world do we live in where guys need to worry about getting dumped because they fell asleep before a text got seen?

[UniquelyBasic]

Girl, Dump him. He clearly doesn't love you if he can't respond to a cute cat and dog pic.

[Asker]

If you had a girlfriend, you would respond?

[whereismyjohnny]

@UniquelyBasic You should become a relationship counsellor.

[UniquelyBasic]

If she sent me a cute Cat and Dog pic, yeah I would definitely respond.

[UniquelyBasic]

@whereismyjohnny Nahh, my advice comes with extreme sarcasm

[Asker]

Are you serious about me dumping him?

[UniquelyBasic]

No, Im not serious. 😂 Come on, really. He just probably fell asleep and forgot.

[whereismyjohnny]

Do you really think that I can’t recognise sarcasm? 😂 My answer was a joke lol

[UniquelyBasic]

@whereismyjohnny Yeah, I got that you were joking and playing along.

[UniquelyBasic]

@whereismyjohnny My comment about not being serious was to the asker, not you lol. Maybe that was the confusion.

[whereismyjohnny]

Yeah, I know 😂 My comment was the answer to your answer where I was tagged, I know the comment about not being serious was to the anon 😆

[UniquelyBasic]

@whereismyjohnny Cool Beans 👍

[Asker]

@UniquelyBasic Would you say he's not into me?

[UniquelyBasic]

He most likely didn't see the text and went to sleep. Its not that deep really.

[genericname85]

there wasn't even anything to reply to your previous texts. it was nothing that asked for a response.

[Anonymous]

If this is something you would consider breaking up with someone other, do exactly that, and then stay single... forever.

[Opinion Owner]

Over*

[Asker]

Would you say he's not into me?

[Opinion Owner]

I would say that YOU aren't mature enough to be in a relationship.

[baserunner611]

Ask do you get my text, talk 💬 about the events next week, then ask if he was looking 👀 at events

[IsoUser]

My guess is that his current girlfriend decided to delete all your emails and texts LMFAO

[whereismyjohnny]

I don’t see what’s the problem with this 🙃

[Asker]

He ignored my GIF of the cat and dog

[Asker]

And didn't text til the next morning

[whereismyjohnny]

Tell me you are trolling please 😆

The conversation ended, what should he have responded to that?

[Asker]

Every time he sends me a GIF I respond to it

[whereismyjohnny]

You are making a problem out of nothing. He sent you a good morning text, a nice one.

[Sam_The_Savage]

I can't stop laughing 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Oh god 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[whereismyjohnny]

@Sam_The_Savage What is it now 🤣

[Sam_The_Savage]

This question is damn funny 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Should I move on just bkoz he doesn't reach to my gif? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Sam_The_Savage]

React* 🤣

[whereismyjohnny]

@Sam_The_Savage I literally thought this was troll 😅

[Sam_The_Savage]

Damn in this days relationship ending because he ignored her gif wtf were we're going 🤣🤣🤣

[secret-admirer-perv]

That shit ain't important like that. Lol

[Sam_The_Savage]

Ofc please move on he deserves better 🤣🤣

[moonpie89]

I don't think he meant to

[Shamalien]

This kind of insecurity sabotages relationships

[Tleouaa]

He's probably not into you

[Asker]

Are you serious?

[Tleouaa]

Yes. It's just my opinion from my experiences.

[Asker]

Why did he say he loved me?

[Tleouaa]

Anyone can say anything and make any promise. Love between man and woman involves marriage.

[Birdlegs]

Don’t put that into her head. They’re clearly fine he doesn’t have to respond to the “sweet” texts if he doesn’t want to. They’re already in the relationship there’s wiggle room now. He even texted her when he woke up if a guy doesn’t care he wouldn’t do that.

[Vegasrunner]

Smart guy

[Iron_Man]

Yes he is
