Think back to the beginning of your relationship with him.

Was he replying to your texts?

He probably was.

Since then, he has taken a dislike to them.

The idea of responding to your texts gives him the fits.

Your texts aren’t designed to open up an interesting conversation.

Instead, they are a call for attention.

He knows that.

There is rarely anything substantive in your texts.

They are merely a vice you use to get him to reply and give you the attention you are seeking.

He went along with this in the beginning, but he has since gotten fed up with it.

Yes, he knows that it makes you anxious when he doesn’t reply to your texts, but he doesn’t care anymore.

As far as he is concerned, he has shown you that he is a good boyfriend in numerous areas of your relationship and yet you keep wanting his validation.

That is what he believes you are doing with these text messages.

You want constant validation that he is thinking about you and cares about you.

He believes that he validates you enough and your texts are characteristic of someone insecure.

He tolerated your insecurity for a while, but no more.

Take a moment to reflect on the texts you send him.

Are they substantive?

Are they designed to open up an interesting conversation?

Or, are they normally superficial or facile in nature.

Your guy is fed up with them.

Instead of getting anxious whenever he doesn’t reply to your texts, consider giving him space.

Yes, he wants room to breathe.

You are texting him incessantly throughout the day with useless messages that never inspire conversation.

Best to give him breathing room.

Reduce the amount of text messages you are sending him.

This clears his head, letting him miss you.

This is good.

Two partners don’t have to be constantly communicating throughout the day with barely a break.

It isn’t healthy.

Substantial breaks in-between messages gives either party the room to do their activities, which facilitates in their growth as individuals.

Plus, the added bonus of missing each other.

This is healthy.

When you do text him, text him a message of substance.

When was the last time you asked him an open-ended question around a topic he is passionate about, or provided information around a topic he is curious about, with much needed answers?

Your text messages to him are vapid, designed solely to assuage your insecurities and make you feel good in the process.

It’s about the attention.

He knows that and this is what has him acting up, refusing to reply to your texts.

What you are doing with your texts is condemning your relationship, putting it on an expressway to failure.

This isn’t what you want.

Keep your insecurities in check.

As long as he is a good boyfriend to you, constant reassurance from him through text messaging him incessantly is completely redundant.

Circumvent failure in your relationship by reducing the amount of text messages you are sending him, and when you do send text messages, make them worthwhile.
