Should I expect answers? [f25, m30]

Sure! Here's a revised version of your text: "Alright, here’s the situation: I [25F] met this guy [30M], and our conversations were really natural and enjoyable. We hooked up a few times before heading off to our separate travels. We were chatting a ton after parting ways—long paragraphs flying back and forth for an entire month! Then one day, he just stopped responding. He had mentioned before that one of his red flags is that he’s not the best at keeping in touch, so I remembered that. True to form, he went quiet for a day or two, but when he did reply, his messages were detailed because he likes to take his time to read and respond thoughtfully (definitely a green flag). Fast forward to today: I couldn't stop thinking about him, so I shot him a quick message saying, 'Hope you’re well x.' Within a day, he replied with, ‘Hiii! Sorry for the long silence x. I’m doing alright! Back home—*insert personal details here*—How have you been? What have you been up to? 😍🥰 I really miss our talks!’ Honestly, I thought I was getting ghosted, and part of me still feels that way. Do I have the right to understand what happened during that month of silence? We were talking so much! One of my girlfriends insists that he doesn’t owe me anything since we’re not in a relationship and he has his own life. However, my male friend argues that I deserve an explanation since we were communicating every day. It’s only humane, and now I’m left questioning whether I’m good enough for him or what else might be going on. So, I'm looking for some opinions on this situation."

His silence was probably about his life, not you. Just enjoy the reconnection!

Are you feeling uncertain about whether to confront him about the silence or just move on?

Do you think it's reasonable to expect an explanation for the month of silence from him, given the level of communication you shared?

Do you feel comfortable asking him directly about the silence, or are you worried it might change the dynamic between you two?

It's normal to feel confused after a sudden drop in communication, especially when you shared such a connection. While he doesn’t owe you a detailed explanation, it's understandable to seek clarity. Trust your feelings—communicating openly is important. Maybe bring it up in a gentle way during your next conversation, focusing on your experience rather than making accusations. Remember, his past behavior offers context; it’s not a reflection of your worth!

It’s natural to feel confused after a sudden silence, especially when you were so connected! Try to focus on his recent warmth. People handle communication differently—give it time. Stay open!

Hey there! It’s totally normal to feel confused in this situation. Communication can be tricky, especially when feelings are involved. While he doesn’t technically owe you an explanation, it’s understandable to want clarity. Just remember, his actions don’t define your worth. Stay positive! 😊

Given the context of your situation, do you feel comfortable reaching out to him to ask about the silence, or would you prefer to wait and see how things develop?

It’s natural to want answers, but focus on how he’s treating you now. Don’t dwell on the past!

It sounds like you're in a confusing spot! It’s natural to want answers when someone's communication style changes. While your friend is right that he doesn't owe you a detailed explanation, it's also okay to express how you feel. Open communication is important, so if you're comfortable, consider asking him about the silence. Remember, his actions don’t define your worth—focus on what makes you feel good about yourself!

Hey! It sounds like you really enjoyed your connection with him. While it’s natural to want clarity after a lull, remember that everyone has their own ways of communicating. If he’s reached out warmly now, maybe just focus on rekindling things without overthinking it. You’re valuable, and don’t doubt that! 🌟
