Is it okay to ignore your girlfriend all day?

[Anonymous]

Im not immature or clingy, I understand the importance of having your own space and time for yourself/with friends. I'm in a long distance relationship. I don't nag my boyfriend to talk to me neither does he. However he sometimes doesn't even talk to me all day, maybe every other week this happens, he texts saying omg I didn't get notified I'm so sorry, or I find from his Facebook stories that he had a hangout. Guys, is space that important to you? I'm not a bad girlfriend, I don't think so, am I being annoying to feel bad about his actions?

Different people do and prioritize things differently; he might not know (or might not have internalized) that you'd like more attention from him. He probably doesn't MEAN to be neglecting you, even if it feels like that's what he's doing. Is it just conversations you're missing out on? Sometimes people are better at remembering and keeping track of stuff if their plans are more concrete.

People get busy and forget to take care of their priorities sometimes. They may not be doing it on purpose. As long as you know the person irl I don't think it's much of an issue if they don't text you everyday.

I lost my patience emotionally, mentally,& physically to be in a long distance relationship again.. it’s really too much. I’m sorry that’s happening to you.

What do you expect him to say? He's busy.

But he should at least talk to you in the evenings before going to bed. I know I certainly would!

He doesn't have you as a priority. Probably thinks of it as casual or keeps you for the occasional hookup or down time when he is bored.
