I’ve been in an on-and-off relationship for five years. He is not the kind of man who is verbally expressive about his feelings. He likes to show his love for me through actions. For instance, he supports me in everything I do. Sometimes it’s emotional support. Other times, he shows up for me financially. He used to be present for me physically too. But he doesn’t do that anymore since he got the opportunity to travel abroad three years ago.

His move affected our relationship for two whole years. That was when the on and off began. We almost lost each other but we held on. Waiting paid off. Last year we had a breakthrough. We found our rhythm and things started moving smoothly between us again.

Just as I was getting comfortable with our newfound stability, he suddenly stopped picking up my calls. I was worried. What if he is sick? What if he was in some kind of trouble? So I kept calling and texting him for four days in a row. I didn’t hear from him.

When he finally called back, he said he was okay. Just busy. I expressed how worried he made me. “Don’t ghost me like that again. “

Instead of changing his behaviour, he got offended, that I didn’t believe he was busy. After everything I said, he did it again. For three whole days, I didn’t hear from him. I also didn’t reach out. When he finally reached out, he was upset that I didn’t try to contact him. He said I was the one giving him attitude.

We moved past that drama but he’s ghosting me again. I have been calling him but he is not picking up. I don’t understand why he is behaving like this all of a sudden. Since he got upset when I left him alone the last time, am I supposed to keep calling him until he decides to call me back? I feel so lost and sad that this is happening to us.
