Hye, I'm 25 and is currently in a relationship with my girlfriend for a year who's a year younger..we're both still studying but at different colleges...the thing is i'm a very sensitive guy (in a bad way), even if she doesn't reply my texts or replies it late i get offended..it does look like a small thing but somehow to me it indicates as if she doesn't care for me....on the other hand, she's the type who likes to give the silent treatment..everytime i speak of smthg like this she'd just keep quiet and would provide no response at all..it's driving me nuts coz i dunno whether she understands how i feel or she disagrees with me..in the end i would later end up apologizing coz i don't wanna feel uncomfortable and uneasy..how do i deal with this? help me...

Sageoldguy1465 agony auntThis reminds me of one of my favorite slogans: "If your wife ISN'T TALKING TO YOU.... DON'T interrupt her!!!!"

Good luck....

person12345 agony auntGetting upset at a long response time for a text is incredibly clingy. It doesn't mean she doesn't care or doesn't love you, it probably means she's at school, or with friends, or in the shower, or eating, or any other multitude of things that aren't about ignoring you. The silent treatment is more likely that you're making her a bit uncomfortable and she doesn't know what to say about it. If you want to keep your relationship going I suggest you find a way to distract yourself while waiting for her to text back and try not to let it get to you so much. I know it's easier said than done, but to her you should at least pretend it doesn't bother you or you're going to push her away.

It could be the sparks are gone now that you two are really getting to know one another. It seems that you two are compatible...yeah you may have hit it off well when you both met but that's the case for most ppl. She obviously likes space in a relationship but u however like companionship and much communication. This is incompatible. Hopefully you two can maintain a respect or friendship when the curtains have closed and nothing else remain. Good luck
