My boyfriend of 5 years recently stops answering my texts for weeks at a time with no explanation. He sent "We need to talk..." out of no where and hasn't answered since that text. it's been over a week. I have severe anxiety... help???
Do you not speak to each other in person? Not sure if you have been with him for 5 years .. Why you would depend so much on texting .. Especially if there's a problem.
Face to face meeting. Today. Texts games will not yield you a solution.
Have the two of you actually met in person or is this a "phone romance"?
I'm not sure I would consider this guy my boyfriend, unless there is more to this story.
If you guys have been dating for 5 years and he does this to you - not answer your text messages, I would re-think why I'm "in a relationship" with him in the first place.
In the second place, if text messaging is your primary source of communicating, I would re-think that. People need face-to-face communication in order to get to know each other.
You need to get to the bottom of this for two reasons: (1) You need to resolve the gf / bf piece of this and (2) it will help your anxiety to find out where you stand. Are you content with the way things are? If not, change them. You don't need this type of aggravation.
Well, I would say that your relationship is over. I know you are thinking that is a bad thing, especially with your anxiety. But let give you a new perspective on that. The way things are going right now are much more stressful than just ending it. You can now not worry about whether or not he is texting and you can go about YOUR life.
In other words, let go of him and the stress he is causing you. Start focusing on you and your life. Go hang out with your friends and do things you want to do.
Hate to say this but it sounds like your BF has transgressed in age to a point where its macho for him to play little kid games here like tell you one thing but do another. Personally Id tell him that you've moved on and tell him to grow up and hang up and dont get into a argument with him and then move on and don't look back unless you are planning on going there. There are tons of better guys out here who are not as childish and youll be happier. Chalk this up to experience but youll be much better off. Good luck
