Being Ignored

My girlfriend hasn't responded to me in a couple of days. Should I wait or should I try again?

That's always a tough dilemma. It's like, "am I doing too much? or am I not doing enough?" I hate that feeling. I think this sort of thing happens to me at least weekly with one or more people I consider friends, and even my family. It happened too much in my last relationship, but for longer than just a couple days. And it got to a point where I just couldn't accept the distancing and non-communication and had to tell her that. I never got a response to that though. Go figure. But anyway, in your case, I will just say that if you've called her at least once, and texted her a few times, it's pretty likely she got those messages. Either that, or she is unable to call you back for whatever reason. If she didn't get the messages, she would likely be trying to get a hold of you to inquire about you! So, just assume she got the messages, and let her respond when she wants to. But if it bothers you to go days without communicating with your partner, this is definitely something you should bring up with her. She's not obligated to respond, but you're also not obligated to stay in a relationship with someone who stonewalls you or doesn't consider how her lack of communication affects you.
