    Almost like you thought this because of not receiving a response as quickly as you would hope? How did it feel once he responded saying he was at work? I have moved your post @Maria2008 just so, hopefully, more people can see your post now it is in the sex and relationships category :)

    You are welcome @Maria2008 - we are all here to support you. I can hear how a difference in speed in responding might have triggered you to get worried and start thinking of all the possible reasons! Glad to hear you are feeling relieved now :)

    It sounds like hearing from him that he was just busy helped the most @Maria2008. It is positive that you feel able to talk to him about how you are feeling :)

    Hi @Maria2008 , it's not uncommon for people in relationships to feel worried or anxious when their partner doesn't respond to messages for an extended period, especially if it's out of the ordinary. But it's essential to approach such situations with an open and honest conversation rather than jumping to conclusions about cheating. People may have different reasons for delayed responses. Work, personal commitments, and unforeseen circumstances can all contribute to someone not responding promptly.

    Effective communication is key to resolving misunderstandings and maintaining trust in a relationship. Openly expressing your concerns and listening to your partner's perspective can help both of you understand each other better and strengthen your connection.

    Hey @Maria2008, it sounds like you're feeling uncertain as to whether Biker loves you or not, and I think it's natural to feel a little confused in that situation. You feel loved one minute, and blanked another; you give him space and that's received badly, but you're with him and he either doesn't acknowledge it, or he acts physically towards you, both of which are evidence of being received badly as well. And even when you ask your friends, you're not getting a clear answer either as to what to do. When we receive mixed signals like this that contradict each other, it's completely natural to feel confused as to how that person actually feels!

    First of all, it has to be said - people can get angry at each other, or disagree, but that does not vindicate acting physically in that way. Pinching, slapping, and attempting to break your hands(!), are not only an inappropriate way to react, but they are considered physical abuse. That is completely out of order, and you should not have to, nor deserve to, put up with that kind of behaviour. It would absolutely be a red flag in my opinion, so I'd definitely keep that in mind. I'll include a link that talks more about abuse in relationships:
    https://www.acornsproject.org.uk/information-advice/what-is-teenage-relationship-abuse/

    As to what you do about the relationship, it's your decision at the end of the day. Relationships should complement our lives, and so the question to ask yourself is whether being with Biker makes your life better or not. Ultimately, it's your decision as to whether you choose to stay, or you choose to walk away. But remember, whatever you decide, you will still have your friends and family by your side, and of course, we're here if you want to come and chat too <3
