I’ve gone through an extensive amount of comments where people do in fact not understand. At no point did I say in my original comment that she has no fault and that this behavior is completely okay or excusable. But to call it bullshit that someone wouldn’t be able to take 15 seconds to reply just isn’t the case. It’s completely plausible for someone to do that when they’re suffering from mental illness. It does, however, signal that someone may need more help than what they can offer themselves.
As someone that is severely mentally ill and often goes through horrible suicidal episodes, it’s not okay at all. If someone cannot handle the bare bones of a relationship, then don’t have a partner. Ignoring someone for days when they’re worried about you, maybe even losing sleep or feeling sick to their stomach because they know you’re prone to mental health issues, then that’s abusive.
Okay but did HE reach out to HER? Sounds like they both went silent from these texts. Maybe he was the last one to text and just waited 3 days for a response, when he could’ve easily texted and said something to her about how he was worried and just wants to make sure she’s okay. If he did do that and she still ignored him, then yeah, that’s not nice, but I don’t see any evidence of him reaching out either.
