Today, I got in a fight with my boyfriend. I sent him a long message pouring my heart out about how hurt I am that he constantly ignores me or responds to almost everything I say in monosyllables. He texted back "ok". FML

Maybe it's a good idea to talk face to face about how you feel

Stop texting him, and confront him, cause you deserve better.

Could have been worse! He put in the effort to type the "o" in "ok" that means something, right?

This is exactly what my ex is like! Absolutely frustrating! I just started doing it back to him and he changed his tune real quick

So... Was like? Because if he changed his tune he's not like that anymore, right?

I'm more confused over if he's your ex or not... did this really work? or was the "change in tune" him leaving? *so confused*

Is he actually disinterested or is he just a quiet person? When I'm with other people, I can go all day without saying a word unless someone asks me a direct question. I mean, maybe he's an asshole. I don't know because I don't know him, but I've gone through life with people asking me "what's wrong?" when nothing is actually wrong. They just don't understand why I am so quiet.

It's annoying when people respond with monosyllabic messages. I'm sorry OP, I hope you feel better and able to make the right decision for you

As much as that sucks, that's not a conversation to have over text messages. If you want something to come out of that conversation you have to have it in person.

For some people it is really hard to be confrontational. Whenever my husband and I have a really big fight, and have a lot to say, we will write each other an email to say everything we need to say, and then we will talk about it afterwards. It just gets things moving along faster and resolved faster. So I do think they need to talk about it face to face, but I think the initial text was fine.

With my ex I could only have conversations like this with him over text. He would ignore my calls and we lived in different states. And he was like OPs boyfriend - he either wouldn't reply or would say "ok" or "word". He was actually emotionally abusive he would purposely do things to upset me then ignore me when I was upset or having and anxiety attack and crying. OP, sometimes people (in my case especially men) need space when they're upset. He might have just replied that because he didn't want to go off on you. Or he's just a dick and doesn't care, in which case I would say you deserve better.

It's actually better for me to write something rather than speak it. Not just because I have an extremely hard time with confrontation, it gives me a chance to think over what I want to say and how to say it. In person, it just comes out and it could be saying different than how I want or even have trouble saying it. It also gives me more time to make sure I don't lash out and say something to hurt them.

Well, what would you rather he say, OP? "Jeez, I never realized I was doing that. I'm sorry if my terse responses hurt you, and I'll try to be better in the future. The time we spend together is magical for me, and I want nothing more than to be able to give you that feeling back." Pfft! Actually…
