My boyfriend has been driving back from Denver since Friday, with the idea he’d stop and stay with his dad for a little bit in Kansas City, and keep on his way home.

i didn’t hear from him at all Sunday, and his phone went straight to voicemail. I hear a buzz on my phone at 1 am and it’s him sending me my portion of this months bills. No update or anything.

I went ballistic and now i’m not talking to him. Am i overreacting?

I would have panicked if I didn’t hear from my bf in that scenario. Maybe there are better ways to handle, but it’s hard not to get emotional and angry and just go off. Maybe take some time to calm down and gather your thoughts so you can explain where you’re coming from without going off again

Probably it's just the difference between men's and women's brains. You're right to be upset and worried with the radio silence, but if he was wrapped up with his family and time just flew by, he probably assumed you knew where he was and no news is good news! A bit insensitive of him just to ping over the bills though - I did laugh out loud at that!
