I asked my boyfriend to give me space.

Edit(After being overwhelmed by emotionally intelligent responses I have decided to talk to him and forgive him. Congratulations for being smart and right🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄😂😂😂)


Yesterday I sent him a text and he ignored me only answering an hour ago. He says he needed time to himself. Here's the thing,I have no problem with that and I've told him this the last time this happened. All I asked for was that he tell me he needs space instead of just ignoring me. He said he would do that next time,he didn't. It's disrespectful,rude and a complete disregard for how I feel. He had the gaul to say he just needed time to himself and he isn't asking for much. I told him the problem was he didn't say anything at all. I'm not an unreasonable person, I have no problem granting him whatever space he desires, all I asked for once more was a notification.

This is a pattern of behaviour that I refuse to accept because I dealt with it for 12 years with an ex best friend. I got accustomed to it, accepted it. I made excuses for her but in the end it was she who opened my eyes to the injustice of her ignoring me whenever she felt like it. I blamed her depression but once she started therapy she apologized for it and made me aware that it was unfair to treat me that way. What drew me to my boyfriend was our constant communication. He was the complete opposite of my ex best friend in that regard. Now he's acting like her. It's a pattern of behavior I can't tolerate. I love him and he has a lot of positive attributes but this isn't one of them. I'm not going to break up with him but I do plan on ignoring him for the next 7 days. I muted him on the texting app we use so I won't see any messages he may send. I'm mad,hurt and offended. I want him to understand that this is unacceptable so cutting him off that long will hopefully put that point across.

We accept the love we think we deserve,I deserve better than being ignored and I damn sure won't stand for it. I am good to that man. His family and friends can attest to that. It's time to remind him that I'm not a sure thing. He worked to get me and it's time to remind him that he must work to keep me. I would be devastated if we broke up but I will heal,grow and love again. I have a strong sense of self-worth that doesn't require me to be in a relationship to maintain. My parents raised me with love,especially my father. My real name means daddy's girl. My father picked it to show my mom that he was okay with me being a girl and that he didn't need a son. My mom was hoping I was a boy. My point is the love of a father gives children confidence and self-worth that lasts them throughout their lives, that's why I'm not distraught at the idea of leaving this relationship if ever I reach my limit.

In conclusion, I hope he's miserable without me. I hope he is flooded with memes that he would want to share with me. I hope something good happens to him and I'm not there to share it with him. I hope he gets extremely horny and dreams about having sex with me only to wake up alone. I hope he learns not to do this again and just for shits and giggles I hope he gets really bad heartburn for the next week. Amen.

Agree there is nothing wrong with someone taking individual space for themselves when they need to do something or have a project to accomplish however if you have someone who is significantly in your life the least you can do is inform them what you are doing and what purpose it serves. As you take space at least check in with them periodically to let them know that they still matter and that you are okay so that they do not worry this is not only basic human decency but it is relationship 101 anyone who fails to do this and disregard your feelings on the matter at all is only into themselves and I think your answer is obvious. Because if they do not even regard you enough to do that they are not on the same page when it comes to a significant Bond. I speak from experience of being on both sides of the coin and I conduct myself as a man not a little boy. Unfortunately I think you are right it is time to seek elsewhere

@PinkMoon this is the truth sweetheart because there comes A Time in a man's life where childish things must be put aside and others should be considered as well. I was really never a child even at the age of 9 or 10 instead of dreaming about school or being popular I used to lay in bed at night and imagine making money having a beautiful wife having children and achieving my dreams. What it boils down to beautiful is you need a man in your life to feel like a woman as you should be not a little boy who puts you in that type of position

This is a bit concerning


. I told him the problem was he didn't ask at all. I'm not an unreasonable person, I have no problem granting him whatever space he desires, all I asked for once more was a notification.


He doesnt have to ask, and it shouldn't be "granted", just tell you.

That aside, I think he should care about how leaving you in the dark makes you feel. This is workable issue. Don't escalate it to more drama and don't fill your heart with resentment. Come on , you are obviously madly in love with him. Work it out.

@Miram Oh the I said he didn't ask in reference to him saying all he's asking for is some time. I don't expect him to ask for permission,I'm not his parent😂. You're right about escalating it into more drama. I will calm down after at some point but for now I'm sulking because it feels good😂.

@Miram @PinkMoon I was gonna say something to clear that part up but thank you Miram for beating me to the punch. Whew! On a side note, OP, don't go down your villain arc with all that resentment. It's not good for you in or out of the relationship. Not saying what he did is right on how he leaves you in the dark about these things, but you're also only seeing things from your own perspective. What's going on that he feels he needs a break? Why is it that he's now like a disappearing act when you mentioned he's really an outgoing guy, even when he's around you? I'd try to pry for those answers before making sudden decisions and going full on "I hate you", not saying to make excuses for his behavior, but if something's going on at least you know it's not about you or it opens up an opportunity to support him in a time of need. Regardless, whatever you decide to do, DO. NOT. GIVE. IN. TO. THE. NATURAL. URGE. TO. HATE. AND. CURSE. SOMEONE. It poisons your own heart and ends up draining the joy out of your life. Speaking from experience. Forgive and move on how you see fit.

@RedGrizzly Fine Fine Fine! I'll do the mature thing but I'm not happy about it😂.

@Northwest This sounds like the mature thing to do. Unfortunately my limbic system has hijacked my prefrontal cortext thus allowing my ego to make decisions based on pure emotion. Currently I want retributive justice. I want him to experience the impact of my silence on an emotional level.
