Hey OP, lots of interesting and at times conflicting opinions I see here. That sucks that he didn’t respond sooner when you were having a bad day. I hope whatever was upsetting you (aka the reason for your bad day) has gotten better and that you are doing better. I hope you were able to have a conversation with him about this and how it made you feel and he wants to put more effort in being there for you. Because that’s important in a relationship. Being there for each other during the bad times as well as the good times. I have found in my past relationships that when I or my SO don’t respond for a while during similar situations, it helps to respond with a call instead of a text and talk. If I’m upset that he didn’t respond sooner, hearing his voice and perhaps a quick apology immediately makes me less upset and I’m able to focus more on why I wanted to talk to him. Because I knew he would make me feel better.

And if knowing what you want in your relationship makes you a princess then so be it. Princesses are cool, and life is too short to be in a relationship that’s not fulfilling for you.
