It means he doesn't care. Or, he was angry you did it by text so not responding was his way of getting back at you. (I'm sorry, but I have to agree with the male anon who said it was tacky.) Anyhow, you know what you have to do now. Forget this guy, and find someone who does care about you, and doesn't use the "I'm busy" excuse to avoid spending time with you. New job, hectic job, pfft. All lame excuses. If a guy truly wants to spend time with you he'll make time, no matter what. Of course I can only speak from my own personal experiences.

You broke up with him via text message? That is the most tacky thing I have ever heard of. If I were him I would not even find that deserving of a response. More likely than not, the desire to break up was a mutual feeling. As far I am concerned, there is nothing more for the two of you to discuss. If you break up via text message, don't expect any kind of response. In the future, woman up and speak to the man in person.

A female reader, anonymous, writes (1 August 2011):

As the others have said, breaking up by text is normally in very poor taste. However if you had reason to believe he didn't care about you anymore, then I can understand being as flippant about ending the relationship as you thought he'd been during it.

He may not have responded because he wasn't brave enough to end it himself and is glad it's now over, he didn't care for the way you went about it, or he didn't get the text.

If it's the second reason, then he may want to leave you with as many questions as you've left him with.

In any event it's done now.

Tom Obler  agony auntYou broke up with him so he probably thought there was nothing more to be said. Previously, it sounds as if he was on his way out anyway. He was avoiding you and being busy so I think you will find he was pulling away anyway. Your text did the trick for him.

I think he is hurt that you broke up with him by text, its as if the relationship meant nothing to you. It would have been better done face to face if that was how you felt.

As for him not responding well this is why, he probably thinks why should I even reply just to say "right thats ok" or did you expect him to grovel?

I don't think he is questioning why you did this because, by just sending a text its rude and final, short and snappy. It means you don't want to discuss it in any further detail. So he is now moving on as quick as he can.

My advice is, this is what you wanted right? so just allow him to do that.

Good Luck.x

The Realist agony auntIn all fairness I wouldn't respond to a text like that either. He was probably very angry and said screw it, so rather then telling you anything he just kicks you out of his life leaving you with all the questions in your head. Your best bet is to forget about it because chances are you will never get any sort of answer out of him now.

angelDlite agony auntit may mean that as you broke up with him by text (very bad etiquette!) that you don't deserve a reply. if you broke up with him, why do you care? you got what you wanted, move on with your life now
