Ans: Dear Anonymous,

Sometimes people are truly busy in their work place especially if they have meetings of deadlines coming up. But, if you are feeling that your partner can put a little more effort and reply to your messages, you are not wrong. If you have a gut feeling that something is wrong, do not ignore it. Talk to him directly. Tell him that you do not appreciate the way he is acting. There is nothing wrong in standing up for what you think you deserve. And as a matter of fact, you do not deserve to feel this way in a relationship. Talk about it.

Best Wishes.

Ans: Your decision to stop texting him first is a healthy step because relationships should feel balanced and mutual. Constantly initiating conversations can leave you feeling undervalued or unsure about where you stand. By taking a step back, you give him the opportunity to show whether he genuinely wants to engage and invest in building a connection with you. This isn’t about playing games but about respecting your own feelings and worth.

At the same time, try to observe his actions rather than just his words. Does he initiate conversations on his own? Does he make an effort to get to know you better? If he continues to show inconsistent interest, it may be a sign that he isn’t ready or committed to the idea of building a relationship right now. And that’s okay—it just means he may not be the right match for you.

Trust your instincts as you move forward. If his behavior leaves you feeling confused or unimportant, it’s okay to walk away and focus on finding someone who values you and communicates in a way that feels fulfilling. Your time and emotions are precious, and it’s important to seek a connection where you feel respected, understood, and appreciated.

Finally, don’t let this experience discourage you. These situations are part of learning what you want and need in a partner. Give yourself grace, and remember that the right relationship will come with clarity, mutual respect, and ease.

Ans: Dear Anonymous,

He mentioned he has a throat infection and hence, decided to chat over WhatsApp and avoid phone calls, correct? If that's the case, why are you assuming that it has anything to do with you telling him about your hypertension? Has he given any indication that the information has affected him? If not, maybe he just isn't in a condition to speak and prefers texts. The “not engaging” part can also be because he isn't well. Give it some time and see if even after he recovers, he is still not engaging much. In that case, you have reasons to worry and you can ask him directly if he is no longer interested. After all, you both are adults and in an arranged marriage setup, the goal is marriage. So, you have every right to ask. For now, give some benefit of the doubt, and some space too, since he is unwell.

Best Wishes
