So I'm seeing someone who takes 2-8 hours to respond to all my texts and sometimes just flat out ignores them. I brought it up and they just said "oh sorry, I'm really bad at texting" And I said it's ok because our chemistry on the phone is good. But it's really starting to bother me and I find it rude. Especially because I'm some one who always responds to text asap. It's just a natural common courtesy for me.

I find this symbolic of of how little value I really have to them. Should I end it? Because good communication is a MUST for me. Now I don't even feel happy to talk to them on the phone

This is a long distance relationship btw

[Mod cut.] We met on Instagram. I'm 26 and she's 25. We both come from the era of smartphones and where you always check your phone so it's not like we're senior citizens who aren't used to texting

I've even threatened to break up w her once over this when she took a day to respond to "how's your day going?" With a 2 word response "tired af"

When I called her out and sId were not going to work she apologized and asked for forgiveness. So you think she'd understand how much it pisses me off right?

They may be one of those rare people who doesn't check their phone obsessively. Some people would see this as a good thing. You don't need instant gratification. Try to develop a little patience.

Yes and seems you may be a bit too attached to this medium of communication. I've been there (we met while she was on assignment then continued long distance for several years). From my experience, I won't do it again but it's really how much patience and tolerance you are willing to accept. And if you both are at the same level of seriousness. It may not be an equitable investment...

Good luck.

Sorry, but to me, it doesn't seem like she is all that into you. At an absolute best, she might be lukewarm about you (I'd doubt even that, though).

And yeah, I would break up with someone if they were a terrible communicator (not just via texting).

Whats really set me off is I asked a question about something I really cared about. Text was ignored for 2 hours then I sent a string of 3 other texts w 2 selfies I said I took for her and got a 1 word response back 8 hours after my initial text. She didn't even acknowledge the question I asked. Like who does that? Isn't that rude?

Someone who isn't that into you. That's who.
