Hi Hurt70. Thanks for your post. Not living in the same town doesn't help and texting can very often miss-represent our feelings. Try not to form too many conclusions but get to see them as soon as is practical. You may find you're worrying needlessly.

Hi there.  Have you tried phoning your bf or emailing.  With txting, as trustlife says, we use abbreviations instead of full words.  With emailing, we tend to be fairly accurate with what we say.  How far away are you, could you visit him?  I wouldn't read too much into 'no contact' yet.  Give him a chance to explain, there's probably a very simple explanation.  Perhaps his work or commitments he hasn't told you about, yet.

Hi , 

Having been working rural and remote . I am aware that at times there is no mobile phone coverage, depending on the server. Have you thought about contacting a family member to check all is ok?

Maybe as pipsy states could you visit

Hi,  as suggested by others, give him a call. If he doesn't answer, leave a message and state that you are concerned about him as he has not replied to your text messages. Contacting a friend or relative will be the next option.
