Hi all,

My boyfriend always replies to text messages really quickly when they are business or funny. but as soon as i say something like 'i've missed you' or similar it always takes up to an hour for him to reply. he always gives an excuse like he was busy at work or making dinner etc. the delay always makes me nervous so i text him in the meantime to say something business like saying 'are you ok?, is everything alright? etc' so he will have something to reply to.

what's going on here?

thanks for your help,

Sarah

pls don't bug him with too many txt msgs. he will think you are trying to police him; not good for a couple.

Lexie88 agony auntIf everything else in your relationship is fine then don't put so much importance on this. I'll take a wild guess here but I think he's not that comfortable with putting those words in a text, it's just the way some people are.

I don't think you should be asking him if he's ok or if everything's alright when he doesn't respond...this just makes it seem like you're insecure and need to know you and him are ok 24/7, it can become annoying. Relax a little.

kittykhaos agony auntsome guys just arnt good at words. Im in a LDR my boyfriend NEVER texts me or calls me or messages me and if i send him a text and he does happen to text me back it will never say he misses me or he loves me. But when im there he treats me like a queen tells me he misses me and loves me he just said he doesn't like phones. I know what hes like in 8 years of friendship hes never really been the communication type. Maybe your man is just like that and finds it hard to relay how he feels with words. After all he is a man :)
