How do I tell my boyfriend that it bothers me when he ignores me while on the phone me?

How should I go about telling my boyfriend that I don't like when his neighbor comes over while him and I are on the phone. And my boyfriend acts childish and ignores me while having a conversation with his neighbor. Why doesn't he say hey babe im sorry the neighbor came over. Ill call ya back or tell his neighbor to come back later? So, ill hang up and he doesn't text me or call me back while he's neighbor is there. Am ai over reacting? Cause part of me if like damn dude do you care at all when I'm upset. He will step back and leave me alone. And when he reaches out the next he doesn't ask me if I'm ok.

You tell him exactly how you feel, be blunt. You may not see a change though.

You may be faced with the classic relationship question. ...

Should you put up with something you really don't like, or is it time to move on?

Remember that we are human, and no one is perfect.

Honestly he sounds like a waste of your time. You aren't a priority to him, just an option. End this and find someone who cares.

Here, I'm sitting thinking maybe i'm over reacting because its been 8 years since I've been in a relationship. My last relationship was toxic and I just didn't feel ready to be in a relationship. And now im dating this guy. He never raises his voice with me. he's calm, nice and goes to church with me. But I don't know I know he's insecure and maybe he doesn't know how to step up and be a firm man who takes the lead. I have kid and need a man who can lead and that I can depend on and feel at home with. With him I feel like he doesn't know how to be secure man. And now that you say it. I kinda don't feel like I'm a priority. I do things for him. I'm considerate, and do the little things for him. Like dang she does care. He knew I was upset when I hung up. And he waits later on to call and then sends me a reel. 😒

As a relationship coach, I'm all about helping people communicate better. It seems like a little heart-to-heart is needed here. Let your boyfriend know how you feel. Use "I" statements, like "I feel ignored when we're on the phone." While ghosting isn't ideal, it's important to express your concerns calmly. Let's get those feelings heard and see if this neighbor sits a little further down the priority list next time. ❤️📱Remember, love should never feel like a competition for attention!

You are over reacting. Just communicate

I don't even think he realizes he does it
