How to respond after my boyfriend ignored me while being on a vacation and texted me after a week "hey"?

Was he somewhere that might have had bad reception/did he discuss with you that he might be out of contact? (or does he have a habit of radio silence when traveling? because some people are just like that.)

Feel free to have a brief conversation with him about remaining in contact, even just a little while on vacation/traveling if it's important to you. It's not exactly a hard thing to do in my opinion, though not everyone thinks about it if the people around them aren't in that habit.

Even giving him the benefit of the doubt that he perhaps has very poor WiFi/reception, he could have at least connected with you on one of the DM/video chat options to just text you a quick hey… you’d have gotten it at a delay, but it’s at least something.


This… 🤷🏻‍♀️ It seems off. Still, sit and chat with him about it to let him know it bugged you.

[Anonymus2001]

Well yes, he broke up with me

[Anonymus2001]

and he wants to talk things over in person. What should I do?

[DishLady]

He broke up but still wants to talk. Nah. He’s a creep. Don’t give him any more of your time or attention.

[Finchie40]

Yea listen to @DishLady , don’t waste your time with him , the fact that he didn’t even attempt to call you or text you when he was away on vacation should of been your answer to kick his ass to the curb right then and there

[PointlessNonsenseGuy]

Honestly, that doesn't even sound like a boyfriend.

Like I can understand if maybe phone reception was really bad where he was vacationing, but then when he got back I would expect him to TELL you that reception was bad, and apologize for not being able to communicate with you.

But all he said when he got back was "Hey." That's weird.

Just a thought, but is it possible that he's TRYING to be a bad boyfriend, so you'll break up with him?

[Purpleronnie]

Did he actually ignore you? Or did he just not respond for another reason? , what was the reason? how long as be been your boyfriend? , what does he mean to you? ..


But you could always just start with “ hey “

[Anonymus2001]

We were together for 7 months. I called him and texted him the whole week and he ignored everything while being active on social media. After one week he texted me hey and saying that he wasn't ready for something serious and that I don't deserved how he was treating me. He wanted to break up with me and asked me to go out and talk things. I asked him what should we talk about more and after that he still didn't answer to me anything

[Anonymus2001]

I did everything right in our relationship and we didn't had any disagreements. He went on this trip for a week and suddenly did this to me

[Purpleronnie]

Kinda sounds like he was stringing you along in the “relationship” or that at least you were a lot more serious about that you wanted than he ever was. Not answering you seems to have been a poor way for him to telling you what you now know. I’m sorry he has treated you so very poorly. My advice would be to pay more attention to what guy’s don’t say to you or how they treat you versus what they say as I don’t think this guy had any intention of having anything serious with you

[AI Opinion]

Oh, the classic "hey" after a week of radio silence—a move smoother than butter but not as sweet, huh? Firstly, take a deep breath. You're right to feel a bit miffed; it's like receiving a message in a bottle that's just bobbing along after floating away for days.

Now, how to respond? Channel your inner cool, calm, collected self. Maybe hit him with a casual, "Hey! Hope you had a great trip. We definitely need to catch up soon 😊." It opens the door for him to explain his digital disappearing act while showing you're not just sitting by your phone.

And hey, let's not jump to conclusions just yet—maybe he was chased by bears, lost in the wilderness, or just really, really dedicated to unplugging. Whatever the case, it sets the stage for a chat about expectations and how to keep the connection charged, even when one of you is off-grid. Remember, communication is key, and sometimes you've gotta unlock that door gently. 😉

[OlderAndWiser]

Why do you want to respond?

[sage2021]

I believe he should have been in touch with you a couple of times in a week.
Maybe he met someone new while he was on vacation?

He could have even taken another woman on his vacation. I had a friend who did that. She told her husband she was going on vacation with the girls but she really went with a guy.

Either way it's bad on him for ignoring you. You probably didn't have "I missed you" sex.

[provokeesmokee]

Did he have service or a travel plan?

Maybe I'm old but I remember not having travel minutes or text when I was younger and travelling.

But your choice. Ignore if you're childish. Break up if you're done. Communicate like an adult if you're interested in hearing him out.

I mean, how does that make you feel? While I understand that he was busy on vacation and didn’t need to text you 24/7, to not even want to at least check in with you says a lot about his priorities.

[Anonymus2001]

He texted me after a week wanting to broke up with me through text. Now he is asking me to go out and talk things. i don't know what to do

[Anonymus2001]

He said he wasn't ready for something serious

[Opinion Owner]

And he’s suddenly ready now? No, he wanted the freedom to do as he pleased on his vacation, like a hall pass. If I were you, even if it were hurtful I just wouldn’t want a man like that. If he’s doing this now, he will do it again and you don’t deserve to be on standby whenever he wants some bachelor fun.

[Nikki1989]

Texting is meaningless enough without simply saying “hey” to someone. I know people are clueless on how to communicate, but that is ridiculous.

[Naruto_Uzumaki]

You just said your boyfriend broke up with you so why are you asking us what to answer when it's already over?

[Ms_Facesitter]

That's why you call instead of text. A nice way of letting him know it bothered you is telling him how much you missed him and that you wishes you could have heard from him.

[TommyMountainFigure]

Oh that's easy... Wait a week too, and then respond with.. Yes?

[WhitneySnow]

Ghost him for as long as he ghosted you. But if you do answer him after all that time don’t expect him to answer back.

[OhLongJohnsoning]

If you seem desp. it appears desp.

When it looks like you are just waiting by your phone, you often get upset by the smallest little things.

Keep yourself busy, so that you're not getting upset

[Anonymony15]

He didn’t care enough to get back to you or explain what he’s doing for the day or what he did then he’s not worth it. If he wanted to he would.

[midnightmoon05]

What qualifies him as a boyfriend aside from the title…

otherwise he is not.

[DrPepper12]

Fuck him. Bye!

[Finchie40]

Just say Who is this?

[Radiate143]

You don't. He's not your boyfriend. Even before the trip.

[Anonymous]

When you say ignored did you co Stanton text him? Why wouldn’t you just let him enjoy his vacation?

[Staximus]

Tell him "hay is for horses" and then don't say anything else

[FarmBoy13]

Accept the fact that he should be able to enjoy his vacation without checking in

[xavid9]

I see no problem in that let him enjoy the vacation at least he's not forgetting you

[JonSnow1902]

Move on.
You are not important to him. And most probably he was with someone else, so just collect yourself and move on.

[Account]

I wouldn't even bother.

[rienna888]

Your boyfriend sucks

[woahhh152]

It's an ex if you get a reply after that long

[In_Trance]

How do you want to respond?

[onedarkcloud]

BYE!!!

[Fumnlethedogg]

Leave him
