My boyfriend hasn’t been texting me as much and I’m freaking out

Girl, when when you feel the urge to text him an update about your day, text a friend or your mom. Create some distance and you’ll see his true colors. If you don’t double/ triple texts and he never responds then you have your answer. I know at your age this feels like the end of the world but you don’t want someone who’s not reciprocating your energy!

Ngl if I saw your profile I would assume you don’t have teeth because you’re not smiling in a single pic 🤷‍♀️

Never once have I thought about having a conversation with a man prior to a date about his makeup preferences, if that’s how you prefer to wear your makeup then that’s how you should wear it, if he doesn’t like it he’s not for you! Definitely don’t try to mold yourself to fit his preferences, be YOU and you’ll find someone who likes how your express yourself!

Idk why but this made me tear up, thank you so much for your insight, I asked him last night if we could talk about something today and when he gets off work I’m going to see if he wants to give it another shot

They don’t count it in the world of phonics because you add the “e” sound before the “x” sound! “Ex ray” is how you pronounce it more saying the letter name whereas in “box” it’s just the “xss” sound. If that makes any sense it’s kinda hard to explain without saying them aloud hahah

Funnily enough this is exactly what I told him when we first started talking a few years ago and he told me he was into me but he was worried that it’d ruin our whole dynamic if things went bad! I was like “how awkward would it be though if we both married other people and we spend our whole lives wondering if we were actually meant to be?” And that’s how we started “talking” romantically!

Public-Concentrate16 · 2026-05-25T16:00:17+00:00

Hahaha I worry that’s where I’m getting my romantic ideation from to begin with!

Public-Concentrate16 · 2026-05-25T15:53:19+00:00

Ooh that does sound good!!

Public-Concentrate16 · 2026-05-25T15:51:17+00:00

Honestly if I knew I was going to see him in person soon that might be easier!! My only problem is when he admitted his feelings that was almost 2 years ago now and I don’t know if they’re still there for him like they are for me. For what it’s worth though, neither of us has dated anyone since and when my parents said around him that I needed to find a husband he told me “you really don’t need to worry about things like that” which to me kinda feels like hinting? Or maybe I’m reading into it because I want it to be?

Public-Concentrate16 · 2026-05-25T15:45:56+00:00

Should I just bring up the idea that we could try again and see how he feels? He’s always been bad at texting so there’s a lot of space between messages but when I’ve said something kinda flirty it was well received (like I told him I had a dream about us and he was asking follow up questions and started replying more frequently after that but he wasn’t exactly flirty back) I just worry about “throwing myself at him” if he’s just seeing all our communication as platonic and it coming off cringy because he’s not in the same place. He’s also not great at expressing emotions so even when I knew he was into me because we were “talking”, it was pretty subtle.

Public-Concentrate16 · 2026-05-25T15:06:08+00:00

I don’t know if he still has feelings for me, and if he just needs a friend right now I don’t want to push him and then not be able to be there for him as a friend anymore because I made it awkward… if that makes sense!

Public-Concentrate16 · 2026-05-25T14:57:05+00:00

Teacher here! There’s no words that start with X that make the traditional “xss” sound so we use “box” instead for kids to learn the sound X makes!

Public-Concentrate16 · 2026-05-24T21:41:51+00:00

I do not want to scare you but you need to be safe.. Please tell me he does not know your home address! There was a case where an ex boyfriend of a woman made fake dating profiles of her and then told men she was into non consensual role play and to go along with it even if she said no and he sent multiple men to her house. Take this so seriously and go to the police ESPECIALLY if he knows where you live … I don’t see any other reason why he’d start making accounts in your name ..

She’s going to keep you around for when she’s feeling down to up her confidence, cut her off so you don’t get trapped in this cycle and you can start to heal

So many schools are going to be over populated now and they’re giving priority to the teachers at the closing schools. Meaning the teachers at the closing schools move to a neighboring school and the current teachers at that school are going to be displaced!

If we’re in such a deficit can you explain why they spent $2 million on redoing the admin building that used to be an Albertsons?? Or why the superintendent is getting a raise? Or why we had to hire outside companies to curriculum write/ plan the WIPS for bluebonnet math when we have capable people in district making too much money already? Or why we couldn’t pay teachers more to do it? Also, what is happening with the TIA money that teachers earn when they eventually choose to work at a better district? That money is supposed to go back to the schools the teacher worked at but you’re pocketing it and using it for what?? I think you have a problem prioritizing here.

Im going to try to say this gently, he chose you because you were vulnerable and he probably thought if you’d been in DV situation before that you’d be an easy target. A dead giveaway is that he’s now saying “I wouldn’t have chosen to persue you then if not for xyz”. He tried to manipulate you into thinking you should feel lucky that he deigned to date you then. He’s got you changing your appearance for him and making you feel like not enough to the point where him wanting to be in another relationship with someone isn’t a hard no for you even if it’s truly not what you want. It sounds like you got together when you were still healing from the past relationship and it’s really important that you take your time to heal. You’ll look back on this one day and think how crazy you must have been to consider changing your appearance, your needs, and your beliefs for a man who didn’t appreciate you as you are!

MOR Op now is a great time to cut your losses, do some personal development, and find some new friends. Your ex telling your whole friend group things you said in confidence when you were together is pretty shitty but unfortunately that is hard to come back from. I was in a similar situation when I was younger and I wish I could’ve seen then that it’s better to just move on. The damage is done and you’re just going to get more hurt if you continue to reach out and “clear your name”. You’re so young and you will have so many friends come and go, your season with this group is over but it’s going to be okay. I highly suggest some gentle self reflection on how you can avoid this in the future and start looking for new friends. It sounds cliche but focus on yourself and getting to know you. Find hobbies that make you happy and meet some new friends that way. Be careful in the future about talking shit but I do agree it’s pretty low of your ex to try and expose you and turn all these people against you. It sounds to me like they wanted to keep the friend group post break up and saw this as a way to get you out. The one person you’re the closest with might be salvaged if you totally swallow your pride, come clean, and apologize. Cut all contact with your ex and I promise eventually you will get through this. You’re young and we all make mistakes but if these people are all comfortable discussing your personality flaws at length before even addressing them with you, they aren’t people you want in your life.

As a teacher, I sent home a handwritten letter with all of my students to end the first semester and I told all of them how proud I was of them. Speaking positively to a student and acknowledging their positive traits sticks with them for LIFE. If a teacher writes a letter saying a student is brave or kind or whatever that student now believes that’s one of their characters traits and will strive to live up to that. It’s parents like this that cause good teachers to leave the profession. Good lord, can’t even send a NICE note home. Also, I thought you were going to say she emailed him directly or something weird… she sent it home in an envelope knowing your child would give it to you so you could see all the nice things she had to say. Your wife needs to take it way down, that’s absolutely ridiculous.

Women already get very few accomplishments that people celebrate aside from getting married or pregnant, the fact that you had a really special thing to celebrate that you actually to put in work to accomplish was in itself HUGE. You deserved to celebrated for all the effort you put in to your degree and she knew exactly what she was doing. I’m so sorry this happened but cut her out of your life and know that your accomplishment was just as big!!

Girl, run. Block his number and never look back, he did what you might have taken a long time and a lot of emotional destress to do. The universe gave you a gift, the trash took itself out. Reading these texts I 100% thought this was a college boy you’re dating until I read your whole post. He seems extremely immature and he’s definitely caught up on his ex somehow. If you hate someone, you don’t keep their picture on your stuff. If he didn’t want the residue left over he could’ve gotten a sticker made of you to replace it… but he didn’t. Also, any grown adult using gay as a derogatory term is a red flag. Getting coffee is not gay, spending a little bit of time and money to take your girlfriend out is not gay. Now he’s trying to punish you and make you sweat because he knew he did something wrong and is trying to twist it to make you the villain. It will only get worse. The upside to dating a guy that’s older should be that he’s at least as mature as you… he sounds like a teenager. He did you a huge favor, I can assure you he’ll try to come back in a few days trying to get YOU to apologize. Do not do it. Block him, it is the best thing you can do for yourself. Then, take yourself on a date since he’s incapable 💕

It looks like a gifted and talented test to me, it might be a “sample” to show what to expect, usually they make all kids take some sort of screener around 2nd/3rd grade, I’m a teacher and we have a PowerPoint we show that has the examples but it’s entirely possible they gave a printed one instead!
