I understand. I just know that I have been through the same and I know how it feels.

I am also not saying you need to break up today. I am saying tell him directly he must give you specific answer why and when he is willing to communicate or you will be done. If he doesn't come forward right away then be done.

Now if after you are done, he is trying to fix something then listen to him. He might have his r4easons but if he doesn't communicate them, then it is a major red flag.

I just know that I'd rather go through a break up and be upset than anxiety like you have now.

Also I talked to my T what are appropriate expectations and she said replying, responding and reguarly communicating (daily or maybe occasionally skipping a day) are normal expectations. Withdrawing, not responding, not regularly communicating is not appropriate in a relationship, it is unhealthy. Now even if the person is just this way and really mean no harm, still it is very unhealthy way of handling relationships and is passive-aggressive. Again give him a chance by asking directly, and then be done. Cry for few days and then move on.

I ended this nonsense last Sunday and am better today. I am still sad but not anxious and don't have this empty pit in my stomach, I am out and about. You can go about your life upset and sad but not anxious and panicking, life is too short.
