I texted my boyfriend and told him he has to atleast have a couple of minutes in a day to text me back.

I think I should break up. It doesn't work out this way.

Sounds like he must have a pattern of not treating you like a priority? How long have you been a couple? How often does he take you out on dates?

You mean he's usually ignoring you? What does he do? Have you discussed this together?

Questions: Is this during the day you expect to have a text conversation? Is he in a position to do so? Many employers don't allow staff to even have their cell phones on them.

I want to point out that people have differing opinions about texting. Personally I don't care for it. I certainly wouldn't do so during the daytime business hours when someone would be at work. And I find it a cop-out. For me it is about the personal touch and when I get a text I tend to think the person is too lazy for a phone call.

But that is just me. I realise I am likely the minority when it comes to this kind of communication. But I just wanted to point out that there could be a reason he is not texting you. Perhaps it isn't even within his ability or appropriate for him to do so. Please consider perhaps why he is not texting you. Is this really worth breaking up over?

Yes. Be told me he does this to all of his past girlfriends.
It has been three months since we have been dating.
I think we went on date only two three times. The rest of them we we're at home. We also live four hours away and do not see each other that often

He ignores me. I did. He said this is him.

He says he is busy, whatever. I am not sure I like to be treated like this.
