It means that things aren’t going well for the couple. Maybe they’re in a fight, maybe it’s a one-sided thing, maybe one of them is using it as a way to get attention.
Whatever it is, things could be a lot better.Until I reached the ripe old age of 34, I valiantly tried to follow the relationship and dating “rules” I learned from magazine articles, rom coms starring Meg Ryan, and my married friends: I didn’t text a guy first. I never slept with anyone too soon. I wore bras and underwear that matched. Where did that get me? I dated all the wrong guys and drank all the wine with all the gay best friends, while I constantly beat myself up for failing at love.
