He said he has high cortisol levels and the doctor told him to stay away from the phone. Is it weird or genuine? His phone is off all the time?

He only checks the messages every now and then like twice a day

That’s a load of shit! High cortisol levels are caused by high stress and you can lower it by doing simple things such as meditation, eating a balanced diet, avoiding caffeine, getting enough sleep and maintaining a good bedtime routine. It has nothing to do with his phone at all!

It’s possible. Cortisol is usually released in response to stress as someone already pointed out. But what she failed to realized is the act of checking the phone itself may cause stress. Depending on what information he’s getting on his phone it cause a lot of anxiety. Maybe even stress. He might be nervous about what girls have to say when he responds to them, especially if he’s not a confident man.

Apparently he is only talking to me and running businesses. So I asked him who’s gonna deal with any problems at work if he’s not always available

[Algerianprincess]

I Hope he’s genuine but I've been through a lot

Not to mention there’s some people who just don’t spend all day on their phone. I know a few friends who take 3/4 of a day to text back. You can’t be the only one he’s talking to if he runs a business. Maybe you’re the only person he talks to as far as who he’s interested in.

[Algerianprincess]

Yes of course I meant in terms of dating

[Algerianprincess]

But he used to call me everyday and talk to me for an hour or more which I was surprised because I don’t call anyone daily and spend so much time on the phone

[Algerianprincess]

So now it looks like I need to ask for attention

[Opinion Owner]

Do you need attention? Honestly. Most men can go w out attention. Women not so much.

[Algerianprincess]

I do. Otherwise how will I know that he’s committed to our relationship with intention to get married?

Then talk to him in person. Be honest. But you have to be willing to accept his answer. Now if he says he’s not sure then you need to be upfront that as much as you care for him you have to move on.
