Guys, have you ever distanced yourself from your partner without warning for a while? What was the reason?

[Gloree]

I really want to know. Thanks.

[Anonymous]

That is just wrong. And I am very sorry if this is happening to you.
Even if he needs space he should say SOMETHING.
I have been angry, not at her or anyone, and I need to be away from people so I don't vent it all over them in an counter productive way. But that is not extended.

If he is in some kind of pain perhaps.
Can I ask, does he communicate with you at all, reply to text, answer the phone, through a friend?
Just let it be know that you are worried and you just want to know if he is ok. That as painful as it is for you to not see him you at least need some kind of info if you are at all important to him.

If it continues, that is called ghosting and I would pull yourself together, shut the door and move along. If you never got a response and he comes back I would make that door very hard to open again.

I sincerely hope you do well. And be glad to talk more if you need. But I suggest you get some real flesh and blood friends to talk to.

[Gloree]

Thanks so much. It so happened that he forgot his phone at a friend's place. Hence I could not reach him as the phone kept ringing and his friend didn't want to take the call. We are fine now. Thanks.

1.) She always wants to talk to me
Basically I would go out for a walk, or to the gym and she'd always call me 24/7 simply because she has nothing to do. I was never able to focus or finish things because she kept calling and she would always talk for hours. The longest phone call we had was about 5 hours. I was drained and tired and just want to be alone and relax. I'm not that social so talking that long really stresses me and it went on for days. I was never able to have 1 day or hour just by myself to recharge. Even right before I was going to bed. She calls and texts. I can't ignore it because then she complains all dam day. So now I can't go to sleep and 3 hours later she's done. Then it's 3am and I only have 4 hours till I have to go to work. Now I'm feeling like shit and she calls again. Wanting to talk to me for a few more hours.

[Gloree]

Oh my God.

He convinced me to play a kinky game where he blind folded me tied to our bent over. Long story short he let his roommate have sex with me. He thought I wouldn't notice a guy with a much bigger thicker dick that didn't cum after a few minutes of penetration. Sure I enjoyed it but I was hurt.

[Gloree]

That's bad

[Opinion Owner]

Bad for the relationship. I checked out of the relationship after that. Soon as I graduated college I dumped him, though I cheated on him all the time with his sleazy roommate

[Gloree]

You were sleazy yourself

[Lionman95]

Not from a partner but I distance myself from social media every once in a while which leads to me taking longer answering texts because I need time to re-focuse my life.
Like if I feel I´m in a crisis I prefer to settle those problems being alone and figuring out what people are important to me and what I want to achieve in the near future.

[libsaretards]

Yes I have. Typically it means there are too many things on my mind and I need a chance to process them without the distraction of another person, even my partner.

Women tend to be waaaaaaaaaay too pushy when they want answers and they want them right then and there rather than give a guy a chance to think things through.

[exitseven]

I have stopped calling a girl because of some reason. I just stopped liking her and did not want to date her anymore.

[Gloree]

Aww. that hurts

[Gloree]

Why didn't you just tell her?

[TommyMountainFigure]

In previous relationships, rather than doing my nut I would drive to the coast for a few hours to clear my head. That was many years ago.. Now I drive to the coast for fun.

[Adronicus]

Yes, takes time for me to process my emotions. When I'm in that state it's best to stay far away or I'll nuke that relationship into oblivion. I need space when I'm processing how I feel & if my partner can't respect that it's over.

[WindAtMyBack]

Yea. Because there was something about the relationship that made me seriously wonder if I wanted to stay in it.

[Guy13]

Yes, however, I was pursued physically so I learned how to separate from her while in her presence. Women can be too much sometimes. It takes a lot to push me to that point though…

[Gloree]

Hmn. Okay. Thanks

[Anonymous]

"without warning"? One implies you've done the distancing, the other suggests it wasn't your choice lol. Sometimes if you're having a argument say, you might need to distance yourself to calm down.

[Panzer21]

Without warning? No, thats a head game and it doesn't help anyone.

If I need to step away, Ill say so, and say why.

[Citizenkirk]

That is not all right. You should be honest with your partner and tell them what is going on.
Leaving them hanging without an explanation is not O. K.

[avierj]

Yeah, couple of times. I think that it was more of mutual ghosting, but could've been fear of commitment / wasn't ready.

[Th3ft]

It was a need for space for me. And it was really awkward and telling and we broke up after that.

[IsoUser]

I have never abandoned her, but I had to drive her home after breakfast, and to be perfectly honest I wouldn't distance myself from her

[OddBeMe]

My wife and i do that every night for awhile. Nothing wrong with it.

[Anonymous]

Oh she had warning. If she was too oblivious to see it then that's on her.

[Anonymous]

No, I would mention the reason and not ghost a girl.

[Waldoe]

NOT without warning or explaining...

[Iron_Man]

Who is the girl in the picture

[Gloree]

Royalty free image. I have no idea. That's not me.

[Iron_Man]

Oh ok

[roy_ricky09]

Sometimes it's necessary

[Gloree]

Okay. I see.

[baserunner611]

If I want to break up

[Jamie05rhs]

No. I'm single. I've never had a partner.

[Bklynbadboy12]

Nope I'd never do that. You should talk to him

[Slim57]

No I don't get that way

[TheSpaceGnome]

Nope.

[Joker_]

never

[Anonymous]

Yes.
