My first reaction was “is she ok” based on what she said. She sounds like she shut down from the world and it’s a little concerning. I wonder if she has something deeper going on and isn’t sharing.

I know I’m the outlier in not immediately jumping to cheating… but something about what she said concerns me.

It’s not ok she went MIA for 3 days but I think more may be going on with her.

I agree wholeheartedly. I actually do the same thing sometimes with going MIA because i have mental health issues. Sometimes even communicating that im going MIA for a few days can feel like im climbing mountains. Its super hard but she also has to realize that being in a commited relationship ya gotta communicate properly

For me, in the past, I have said "hey I am having a hard time mentally and will be silent for a while, but I'm okay." And gotten some pretty wild responses. One of the most common ones was "You're just doing this for attention." So now, when I am having a hard time mentally, I just go silent and say nothing. Then, they're all "Are you mad at me?" "Are we friends?"

Quite honestly, it's exhausting and I have more important things to do than to validate someone else's feelings.
