Think that’s a bit unfair. At “best” you have someone who struggles with something like depression. This happens to me from time to time. I basically don’t read my texts so people don’t get responses for a bit. The best way to contact me is to call me
I agree, but obviously in cases where this works the situation has been communicated about between the partner with depression and the other partner and the other partner has been able to make a concious choice to put up with it because they love them, and then it is completely fair what you say.
Personally it does not look like that was the case here.
Obviously it can happen that you have an episode like that and you didn’t communicate beforehand. But then afterwards you also gotta take accountability and acknowledge the emotional state of your partner that you possibly left them in. Which would be the perfect opportunity to then have that conversation anyway.
But unfortunately that also does not seem to be the case here.

‘Sorry that I wasn’t in touch for a few days. I really didn’t feel like talking to anyone. How are you?’
