Help :(

Hi Kelly unfortunately it is not normal IMO for a boyfriend to not text or call for 5 days? Have you reached out? Is he deliberately ignoring you? LDR are difficult and did you have a relationship prior to the LDR or has it always been a LDR? These all can play into a relationship falling apart. He maybe going through something and wants to be left alone or just wants space from you. At this point all you can do is reach out and see if he responds. If he eventually does – ask for an explanation and where he stands in your relationship at this moment.

You should ask him rather than let your imagination run wild. But don’t do it in a way that could be perceived as nagging. I’d just say something like, “ I’ve really missed you, and I noticed I hadn’t heard from you. That’s out of pattern for us, so I just wanted to check in with you to make sure all is well.” I wouldn’t make it all about your feelings or your relationship. Just let him know that you observed this shift. When I have phrased it similarly men have tended to open up a bit more because they don’t feel blamed or like they’ve done something wrong.
