Should I let it go?

[Anonymous]

I have a guy friend and we used to text all the time but since i got a boyfriend he has texted me less and after our last conversation he never texted again and it's been 2 weeks. Both of us used to initiate conversations. Should i just text him or let it go bc if he wanted to talk he would just text me? I can't figure out what's his problem but i also don't want to embarass myself by texting him if he doesn't want this friendship going anymore. Although my friends say he probably wants me to text first but i initiated our last conversation as well.

It entirely depends

I would say he probably stopped because you got a boyfriend. Because at least from my perspective, I wouldn't want to be accused of trying to get with someone who's taken

But it entirely depends on if you want to keep the friendship going

Well yes, just because im in a relationship now it doesn't mean my life outside of it doesn't exist. I'm not the type who only focuses on her boyfriend and neglects everyone else. Its not like we were hanging out all the time etc i just liked talking to him and we have things in common that we have no one else to discuss it with besides each other and i don't want him to think i don't care about him now, but it seems like he is the one who stopped caring after all. (He is also seeing someone so my boyfriend would'nt mind this friendship)

Oh, so the other boy stopped caring? Am I getting that right?
It seems like it should be fine as long as you invest a bit more with your boyfriend. But you need to be careful not to go over the top or it might be suspicious

Just let him know that if he needs to reach out it's cool with you... You can innocently ask "We're good, right?" and see what he says. If he doesn't answer, then he's grumpy about your boyfriend and you do have to let it go.
