I would suggest that if you hear about someone's feeling bad about something, don't start with pathologising and thinking of various mental disorders. It's an unhelpful approach in most cases.



With work emails it's easy....it's impersonal, why take it personally. That's how I think about that kind of thing.

About your partner, I would not attempt to chat with him in texts during working hours. If it's some important practical issue that needs to be attended to or whatever, wait until he's off work and notify him then. And if it's actually some catastrophy that needs immediate attention, there are other, more effective ways to inform him.
If you have a professional demanding job, then not receiving reply to work email is very detrimental as one cannot complete an important timely work task/someone might not get proper treatment/someone might even get hurt. I’d say it is not easy at all and actually is way more serious than not getting a text from a date or whoever else.

I’d say if you are repeatedly ignored by someone you are dating, it’s understandably upsetting. Anyone would be badly effected. It’s not clear though why would you want to date someone who repeatedly ignores you.

Why not choose partners who don’t do that? Most people don’t ignore their partners. It’s not a common behavior. I would suggest not to pursue men who ignore you.

Relationship is a choice. Choose wisely
Thanks for this!
