Hm... interesting take, but it sounds like that this is not the preferred communication style of yours, but you are trying to convince yourself otherwise. The person who seriously likes you, won't leave those gaps, it is as simple as that. The standard you accept at the beginning, the standard will follow deeper in a relationship.

I don't know, I feel like in this situation he should have set proper expectations and said something in advance that he was going to be away for a few days with limited or no communication.

I feel like this is a bit over the top. Silence isn’t danger it’s just absolutely rude and you were gaslit. It’s ok to not be ok with that, you just can’t let it ruin your life

This is why you date multiple guys on the apps. There is no other way

OK, hear me out though, what about just basic communication? Hey, I would love to see you again and I have a trip planned so it probably won’t be for a few weeks… I just think if you like someone you should let them know and you should communicate and not leave a gap. I just don’t think my husband would leave me unattended like that.

I wouldn’t spiral if a man didn’t text me for 3 days after a great second date. I’d take it as information. I want a man who is clearly excited about me and shows it.
We need to stop teaching women to “self-regulate” just to tolerate dynamics that make them anxious. Sometimes anxiety is a pattern to heal; sometimes it’s telling you this dynamic isn’t for you.
What changed this for me wasn’t dating coaching. It was working with a licensed psychologist, healing deeper patterns, building self-worth and raising my standards. I stopped overanalyzing and justifying men and became selective.
Genuine question: are you still with this man? Did it become a consistent, committed relationship? Because when we give women dating advice, I think the outcome matters too.
