Does your SO ever do this that drives me nuts?

[angeldi]

Happens sometimes. Especially when he is working. I dont think men think about it the way women do LOLOLOL

Oh believe me he knows! I've had to tell him once or twice. Now I am trying to just rub it off and not let it bother me as much even though its hard. :P

TELL HIM that this bothers you. He probably doesn't even know that it does!

he does it all the time. Usually it's because he had to go to work... but why not tell me? If we just sent a few messages back and forth, then it doesn't annoy me, but when we are in the middle of what feels like a conversation, I often find myself just sitting there waiting for him to respond for like 30 minutes to an hour... when I could be doing something else... I'm trying to train myself to just shelve a conversation after 15 minutes and go back to my life... but it's weird when I get an unfinished feeling...

Ha yep! We use whatsapp... we are on completely different time schedules! I will message him in the evening knowing he won't get it cos he is at work then I go to bed... when I get up (say 7am) I know he finished work a couple of hours before and can see he's read my messages but he won't reply for hours sometimes! We do not communicate nearly as much as a lot of you do... we don't have that luxury but most mornings we chat for a couple of hours when I wake up so when I wake and there's no message and I know he's fallen asleep already it really grinds on me! We have been apart 8 days now and Skyped for one 20 minute period before the connection cut out

B does the same damn thing!! Yes, why can't they just type in 'gotta go.... later' or something like that? I, too, feel like I'm wasting my time sitting there waiting! Gr--r-r-r-r!!
