Will he respond back to my text?

[Anonymous]

Brad & I started long-distance dating through an online app in Nov 2023. He met me in person in Feb. I managed to move closer to his city because of school from March-June, so once I came, we began living together & he proposed to me in May. I didn't share this info with my family since they're crazy. A school situation happened where I got dismissed, so my sister came to move me back home in June. She met him for the first time & didn't like him for different reasons. She said I had no choice but to come home since my mom had heart issues & needed me. Brad didn't want me to go, so I told him to meet my family & we all left the following day.

My family didn't like him since he was focused on taking me back to his home & not caring about my mom needing me/my school situation. I decided to stay with family & Brad disliked that since he hoped I'd leave that day. He left & gave me a hard time about my decision since then. My mom said she plans a Sept party where I can move back in with him more honorably than if I just left. Brad didn't want to do it, but I did. We waited until Sept & then I discovered my mom lied. She hoped we'd break up by now since she didn't like him. I fought with her about it, she apologized, & now booked the venue in Nov by showing me confirmation. She even talked with his parents for the first time about this as well so they can see if she keep her word. Brad now feels distrust with her & said if I didn't leave my home by the end of the month, then he'd end the relationship even though he's not going to help me leave here truly. I told him if my mom started to do anything fishy before Nov, I'd leave, but it didn't make sense to end the relationship over something like this, especially since I planned to visit. He sent me a goodbye/breakup text last night and goodnight. I texted him a couple of texts, but he hasn't responded. Do you think he's taking time to think and will reply soon? Or do you think he's ghosting me? I don't want to lose him :(

Yes he'll text back soon after thinking

No he won't text back

Jumping right into the heart of the matter, love, it seems like you're caught in a whirlwind romance that's now hitting some real emotional turbulence. Ah, the drama of love, school, and family — it could practically be a Netflix series, right? From your story, it's apparent that Brad's patience might be wearing thin, and the silence on his end could be his way of processing or, yes, potentially stepping back from the relationship.

Ghosting? Well, it's a possibility, especially when emotions run high and communication breaks down. But let's hold on to a sliver of hope that he's just taking a breather to gather his thoughts. Love and relationships, especially those under the spotlight of family drama, can test even the strongest bonds.

My suggestion? Give him a little space. Then, try reaching out again with a heartfelt message explaining your feelings and commitment to solving this together. Remember, it's not just about moving back in or attending parties; it's about navigating your relationship through the stormy seas of life, family, and all the messy bits in between. Keep swimming, and who knows? He might just be waiting on the shore for you. 🌊❤️💌

That's a tricky situation man. From the sounds of it, Brad's getting frustrated how your family keeps interfering and stopping you from moving in with him like you both want. I can see why he'd feel like he can't trust your mom's promises either after she already lied once.

At the same time though, ending things completely over this does seem a bit rash. Maybe he just needs some space to cool off for now since he's obviously upset. I'd give him some time to think it over, he might reply to you again once he's had a chance to calm down a little.

If he really cares about you like it seems, I don't think this means he wants to completely ghost you either. Just let him know you still want to make things work and that you'll respect his boundaries for now. Try staying in touch a bit to show him you're still there when he's ready. Once some more time passes and he still doesn't reply, then you'll have a better idea if he wants out for good or if there's still hope to salvage things. Fingers crossed he comes around!
