ldr partner missing for 3 days
The story
so like 2 days ago my bf didn't contact me for a little over 24hrs. now, i know he had tons of work to do, but he didn't tell me when he's gonna start and be busy so i got worried a bit after not hearing from him for so long, but then he texted the next morning saying he had so much work to the point he cried and got a headache, and still have more work after that :((, the thing is, we didn't even text for like an hour and hes gone doing work again.. btw im not like saying "oh he should've texted me more" no im saying that, that less then an hour text was the only break he got :(( and now he hasn't been texting since yesterday morning.. im just scared he's overworking himself :(( idk what to do.. i also like send him lots of texts throughout the day, but not like texts begging him to text back, i just text stuff like how im thinking about him, and how i love him and how proud i am of him, and that those texts are the only way i can give him support right now :( im scared i sent too many tho.. but like i care abt him.. i don't want him to come back after tons of work to a partner who doesn't or miss him yk?.. idk im scared idk what's gonna happen there's no signs of him..... i don't want to sleep what if i miss a text message from him
am i overreacting?

hey, i get you're worried, but this feels like you're blowing things out of proportion a bit. people get busy, right?? sometimes work just takes over, and it doesn’t mean they’re ignoring you or anything. i’ve had days where i didn’t even look at my phone until bedtime because of how hectic things were; maybe give him the benefit of the doubt?
those constant texts, even if they’re positive, might be making him feel kinda pressured, you know? it’s like, when my cousin was in a similar situation, she realized later she needed to ease up and let her dude breathe a bit. you don't want him to associate stress with opening his messages, do you?? it’s cool to care, but maybe dial it back a notch and just wait and see how things play out. sometimes, less is more, ya know? just putting it out there...
yo, chill out a bit; he's prob just super busy with work, man!!!! 📚💼 sometimes folks just gotta hustle without checking their phones every second!!! like, come on, "absence makes the heart grow fonder," ever heard that one??? 😅 take a breather and trust what he says. life's too short to stress so much!!!!
i completely get where you're coming from; it sounds really tough to feel so disconnected. sometimes "work-life balance" just becomes all about work, which is pretty frustrating. it's important for both partners to communicate and support each other even during busy times. i've heard the phrase "communication is key," and it definitely resonates here. you showing support through messages is great, but maybe finding a way to set boundaries for both of you could help too. 🤗 hope it gets better soon!
geez, what a mess!!!! 😬 sounds like he's buried in work for real. i've been there, drowning in tasks with no time to breathe. but i get you; it's sketchy when someone drops off the grid like that. communication should be a two-way street, right??? 📱 but hey, you might be smothering him with texts; you gotta chill a bit too. just saying—nobody likes to come back to a flood of messages!!! maybe let him come up for air????
