I could imagine having a relationship with nothing more than a texted hug and kiss most days for that long. Not everybody wants or needs daily chats 365 days a year.

Time away is understandable but completely going MIA on your significant other? I mean, even if I wanted my space for 3 days I would still be in touch. Anyway, still doesn't explain why OPs parents didn't bother to mention the situation.

In my first year of uni and my boyfriend worked 12 hour night shifts and lived over an hour away, so it was normal for us to go a few days without seeing or hearing from each other. We were both super busy and awake at different times of the day. I think it made our relationship stronger, "absence makes the heart grow fonder" and whatnot.

But did you not send texts out during that time 62? Like a good night text, or a "text me when you get a chance" or "how was your day" or "I love you," something like that? Usually when couples can't see each other for awhile, even if they want space, they still just send a quick text now and then.

jeez I would wonder where he was?! obvious she doesn't care about him...probably her parent knew along she doesn't care about him???...

Well obviously the boyfriend wasn't in any condition to be contacting OP. But her parents were there visiting him, and I'm sure they would have been able to contact her and let her know. I know if something happened to me to put me in the ICU, my mom would call my boyfriend and tell him right away. So either the boyfriend told them not to tell OP for whatever reason (if he was able to speak), or her parents just didn't want to tell her for whatever reason. Be nice to have a follow up with more details from OP.

It stands for Intensive Care Unit. It's where people w/ issues that require constant medical attention go
