Just another day in the hood

My ex ex boyfriend just left. He stopped in to help me with an item on my friend's honey do list. The only favors I ever ask of him, are for other people. He is a total sweetie. He was lamenting his present girlfriend woes to me. I am nothing but encouraging and hopeful that his girlfriend's mystery illness is all that is keeping her from responding to him like a girlfriend should. I certainly know how he feels, I am not very needy, but I detest being ignored. If I call my boyfriend (any of the previous ones and the future ones), I really don't expect an extended delay in communication whether that communication be by text, phone, IM, email, body language, smoke signals, or courier pigeon. I'm just sensitive like that, and apparently so is my ex ex boyfriend. He is struggling to be understanding. He is struggling harder not to take her silence personally. I tell him ... she could be working, she could be busy, she could be sleeping, she could be feeling ill (she has some medical issues going on). He logically knows all this, but he says it feels like being on a roller coaster. One week she is all about him, and the next week, she practically falls off the radar screen. I think it helps him deal knowing that her best friend who happens to be a guy, told my ex ex boyfriend, that she has been ignoring his calls and texts as well this week. She probably does have a very good reason for her behavior, but it certainly is hard for my ex ex boyfriend not knowing where he stands. I personally think she could be more sensitive about his feelings. I mean, granted she may be sick, but she entered into this relationship with that issue, and she could at least quickly pick up the phone and tell him she isn't feeling well, or whatever her reason is. But hey, that's just my humble and emphasizing opinion. Did I mention, that I hate being ignored by someone who says they love me?
