I (22F) was seeing someone (25M) for about a month exclusively. They had to travel abroad for a month and we were going to keep in touch. Communication beforehand was alright in terms of texting and we went on seven dates before he left. He was a bad texter but I pointed it out and he fixed it. While abroad we texted but there didn’t seem to be a lot of effort from his part to plan calls or initiate much. I knew he was busy so I would try to initiate it.
We got on a call and I felt like there was a difference between how he talked to me. I pointed it out after over text and we got into an argument about it. It was a bit of a misunderstanding but we resolved it over text, or so I thought, and decided to call to smooth things over when we both would be free.
The issue is, the call never happened and we talked about other things instead over text. When I asked about planning a call he said he would let me know when he was free. A few days after our argument and after texting normally, he suddenly stopped responding to my messages. He left me on delivered for two days. I sent a text asking him if everything was okay and he left me on read. Not sure what happened but he hasn’t communicated with me in 4 days. Do I assume it’s over? What’s going on?
TL;DR: Dated a guy (25M) for a month before he went abroad. Communication was fine at first, but during his trip he didn’t make an effort to plan calls. We argued about him seeming distant, resolved it over text, and agreed to call later to clear the air but he never followed through. We kept texting normally for a few days, then he suddenly stopped responding. Now he’s left me on read for 4 days with no explanation. Is this him ghosting or taking space?
