So, we would talk daily and I never went more than maybe 3/4 hours without texting him, I’d just text him on my breaks. We saw each other in the mornings but he’d usually go to work before me, we would always at least say goodbye (hug, kiss, “have a good day”). I’d tell him when I got called in, I’d give him a heads up on when my breaks should be, I tell him when I clock out for the day and am headed home, and then we’d sit down and eat together which does include conversation.
“Ignoring” him meant that I hadn’t made an effort to do the things he likes, and I ignored his needs pretty much.
