Long-distance boyfriend forgets I exist for weeks—should I stay?

[Anonymous]

He admitted to forgetting I exist sometimes, I wish I was exaggerating, but the last few conversation we've had were spaced by at least 2 weeks each, and I'm not sure how much effort this relationship is worth anymore.

Alright. I sent a message ending the pointless waiting, and he still hasn't seen it after 24 hours.. maybe he'll realize he's single in the next couple weeks. *shrug*

No. You aren't a priority to him. In the modern age, it's extremely easy to stay connected with someone even half way across the globe. Unless there are some sort of crazy circumstances, he has no excuse to relagate you. I've been communicating with a romantic interest, and I intentionally keep to a schedule. Usually, I try for 48 hours.

LDRs are difficult. You might be better off finding someone closer to home.

And you’re still with him… why? Like at this point he is a penpal.

I would've ended it.

My aim on GAG is to help you avoid emotional red flags and stop wasting your heart on the wrong people.

If he “forgets you exist” for weeks, that’s not love, that’s emotional ghosting with a weak excuse. Long-distance only works with consistent effort and genuine desire. You deserve to be chosen, not remembered randomly.

This relationship isn’t worth more of your energy. Time to detach, heal, and leave space for someone who can’t go days without you crossing their mind. 💔✨

When I had a girlfriend, we talked every day and my best friend on here. We’ve talked every day so your boyfriend‘s got a problem

two weeks? 😂 what exactly are the requirements to keep the boyfriend title over there? because apparently remembering you exist isn’t one of them

LDR relationships are challenging at best. How often do you get together IRL? Has he found someone else? How old is the guy?

[Asker]

We haven't since we started going long distance, he made plans twice that got canceled for different reasons. He hasn't found anyone else, at least as far as I'm aware. He's 22.

It seems like the LDR is fading a bit. Have you done any video chat with him or video sex with him on ur phones or laptops?

No, I had a long distance girlfriend that did the same thing. I wasted 4 years of my life that I can't ever get back.

You have a long distance boyfriend = you dot have a boyfriend...
