I have a friend telling me to dump my b/f because of his "disrespect" for me. The only problem I have with him is pretty basic, and it's the lack of communication. We'll be texting for instance, and than he'll drop off and never respond again. He's been known to just turn off his phone. I see him on a pretty regular basis, and we make as much time for each other as we can. He works some pretty strenuous shifts, and I don't want to be too hard on him regarding not talking to me all evening long. This IS an area that I think needs to be addressed, but at this point I don't think it's worth abandoning the relationship for. Sounds trivial when I write it, but it does bother me so I thought I'd get your advice.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I am actually very much like your boyfriend, I can do that sort of thing.
If he is like me, we don't mean it in a bad way at all. So just talk to him quietly about it, and tell him how it makes you feel and ask him to please make more of an effort in that area

A communication problem really isn't, "pretty basic." That's a major deal. A meaningful relationship is one that has excellent communication. If there are any problems, you need to talk it out in person, not through txting. (Unless of course you're in a long distance relationship, but even then set aside a time to actually talk over the phone.)
Talk it out and then make your decision.

If you have a problem or an issue, you need to tell him and talk to him about it.
Communication is so important when it comes to relationships. You can't keep it in and expect it to go away by itself or "drop hints" and expect him to get it. Tell him and work out a compromise.

He may have actually figured it out, at least the last days have shown dramatic improvement. I'll talk to him about it anyway, but I think he knows it irks me and is really making an effort to change. Thanks for your input.
