Am I expecting too much early on and should I be angry at him?

[Anonymous]

I started seeing a guy 2 months ago. We are not in a relationship but have been seeing each other every week and are both into each other. Last week our culture had our yearly celebration. This involves spending the day with family and a few traditions. The week before he said he would text me on that day.. I ended up texting him myself at about 11am.. it got to 5pm and he hadn’t replied so I messaged him, I hope he had a nice day. And I hope he is feeling ok but if he wants me to leave him for a while let me know. ( he has been going through a hard time lately.. he texted back 30 mins later to say sorry for not replying he had a busy day.. should I be angry at him for taking so long to reply? Or give him the benefit of the doubt as he has been going through a hard time lately?

It's understandable that you might feel frustrated or disappointed that he didn't respond to your text for several hours, especially if he had previously said he would text you on that day. However, it's important to remember that everyone has different communication styles and priorities, and it's possible that he was simply busy or distracted during the day.

Given that he apologized for not responding and explained that he had a busy day, it's worth giving him the benefit of the doubt and assuming that he was sincere in his apology. It's also worth having a conversation with him about your expectations for communication and how you both can better communicate with each other in the future.

Ultimately, it's up to you to decide how you want to handle the situation and whether or not you want to continue seeing this guy. If you feel like he's not meeting your needs or expectations, it may be worth having a conversation about what you both want from the relationship and whether or not you're on the same page.

If he is going through a hard time, I would just leave alone, and you shouldn't be angry with if is going through a difficult time.

If he wasn't going through a difficult than, then yes you would have to have words with him

For now just let him, come to you, he has your number. When I am going through a hard time, I want my friends to not contact me, and I will contact them. However everyone is different.
