My boyfriend has been on and off communicating since New Year’s night. He’s been responding *once* a day ever since then. He goes on Instagram to view my stories message me at least once, but I have yet to hear from him in a conversation lasting more than 6 exchanges.

This has happened before and it turned out to be him in another town and having no signal in that town. The times we have messaged I told him I deserved an explanation for his disappearance. I got no word back and a couple hours later got the regular “hey babe/what’s up” then no reply after. He completely disregarded the previous messages.

One thing that is really bothering me is that at 9:03 PM I *texted* him asking for an explanation. I didn’t get a reply at all, and he was active on Insta up to 9:20. Does anyone have any thoughts to calm my nerves?
