I don’t like how long my boyfriend takes to respond a lot but I don’t want to bring it up in case I sound needy or controlling. Any advice?

I understand it can be difficult to bring it up under the thought of being alone, but this is a conversation that needs to be had. Or else, what’s happening here, all this stress and (upsetness?? lol), it’s going to keep happening and get worse and worse until you break down. Dm if you need motivation or advice.

Yes. You are absolutely right to worry that sounds needy or controlling. Probably not wise to bring it up. If he’s already doing his best, that’ll do nothing but build strain since he can’t improve it. Especially if his best is reasonable. How long a delay are we talking about anyway?

Sometimes like 5+ hours, and I know he checks his phone because he’ll be online playing games

My thing is like idc if you’re busy, or don’t wanna talk but a quick message saying either of those would be nice
