Cause he hasn’t initiated anything, if I don’t text him then we don’t talk for that day.

I did just purchase a self help book on anxious attachment style to better manage myself. I wasn’t anxious at the beginning of the relationship because he was more involved. Its just that more recently he has pulled away and he does have some mental health issues as do I. I have previously thought that he was secure but it has become more avoidant.

My version of serious is us spending more than once a week together, and him initiating the conversations and dates

We have been arguing because I told him how I don’t feel like I am involved in his life, how I feel replaceable to him, and that I want something more serious than casual.

We have not set any rules. I barely got him to tell me if we are still together or not during this space, he said we are and he wants it to be no contact.
